But what of the music I hear ask, well to it put simply, it‘s a wonderful lush soundtrack. Heady with elegant string arrangements, Disco like electronics to acoustic guitar strum and funky guitars strut. It’s all been remastered, so now the strings have so much more emotional resonance, and the funk seems well funkier. It’s almost like listening to a new album, compared with the early muddy sound of the ltd issue of the soundtrack.
 
It starts off with the Cannibal Holocaust (Main theme), which is possible one of the most beautiful piece of music you’ll ever hear. It seems complete disconnected from a horror film. With its’ gently strummed guitar melody. That soars to the skies, when the wonderful strings make their entrance. Adulteress’ Punishment is sinister edgy strings and disco drum hits, really has a great feeling of foreboding. Crucified Woman is full of wonderfully melancholy clouds of strings, painting the melody. These are just a few of the highlights
 
And now on to the packing: from the great cover and back of the digi pak. With great pictures from the film, embellished with blood reds. To the collage of film posters from around world under the cd. There’s a real eye for design and quality. Inside the digi pak you find an informative write up on the composer Riz Ortolani and discussion about the film. All this folds out into a mini gruesome still poster on the other side. Added to this pop the disk into your computer and you can watch an interview with Riz Ortolani and a trailer for the film.
