In 1989, Chilean filmmaker, Alejandro Jodorowsky created one of his finest surreal masterpieces, a film called Santa Sangre. It follows the life of a young boy, Fenix (played by Jodorowsky’s son Axel), who is growing up within the confines of a Mexican circus with his father, Orgo the knife thrower and his mother, Concha a religious fanatic. Orgo is also in an extra-marital relationship with the tattooed lady, whom Concha is jealous of. All of this combines to produce one of the most wonderful, surreal horror movies. However, alongside Jodorowsky’s unique stylistic touches and weird brand of storytelling, one of the key factors in making Santa Sangre such a success is the musical score from English composer/ musician, Simon Boswell. Boswell has more than 90 soundtracks to his name, including work for Dario Argento, Clive Barker, Richard Stanley and Danny Boyle. Santa Sangre remains one of his most celebrated works.
Here’s a split that gives us two sides of the wall noise coin. From Bar, Montenegro’s Edo Žuđelović, we get constantly piling-on & hiss-bound ANW. And from California’s Koobaatoo Asparagus, we get thick bass bound ‘n’ bone grinding HNW. Each track runs at around the twenty-minute mark.
