CD 1
A VIRGIN AMONG THE LIVING DEAD
SOUNDTRACK
The CD open with a suspenseful and mysterious theme given by an introduction of harp with echo, celesta, in order to develop itself in a chaotic, much modern and rhythmic motif, with sacred flavour given by a liturgical organ (tr.1). This score features several atonal music themes for strings with additional distorted electric guitar. Bruno Nicolai has written a wonderful love theme for the main character of Christine, a sweet and melancholic theme performed by the crystal voice of Edda Dell'Orso. "Lounge" style music does not lack like the elegant orchestral bossa vocalized by Edda Dell'Orso, pieces for solo piano and the rock-dance floor music, between sacred and profane, for the scene of the satanic ritual.
DIRECTOR AND CAST
Directed by Jess Franco.
Cast: Christina Von Blanc, Howard Vernon, Britt Nichols, Paul Muller, Anne Libert, Jess Franco.
THE PLOT
The student Christina travels from London to the castle of her family for the reading of the will of her father that she has never known and recently committed suicide. On the arrival, she meets her weird Uncle Howard, his wife Abigail and his daughter Carmencé and Linda, a blind girl and a mute servant. She starts entwining daydreams and nightmares with reality. When she has an encounter with the spirit of her deceased father, he tries to warn her to leave that place that is evil, but it is too late.
CD 2
NIGHTMARES COME AT NIGHT
SOUNDTRACK
For this movie Bruno Nicolai has written an OST of experimental kind, perfect as background for the protagonist's recurrent nightmares. "Tra sogno e vita", the original main titles, after an intro of ethnic sound effects presents a medley of experimental motifs, developed later in the OST, among them, in a theme for atonal strings. Bruno Nicolai alternates experimental atmospheres with piano and percussions, with suspended motifs for guitar, organ and light percussions and with a magic love theme. Lounge style music is also enclosed that reflects the trends and the life style of those days with two long tracks, a slow one with sax, organ and rhythmics and a shake dance floor music that, after a Spanish flavoured guitar introduction, is developed with organ, distorted guitars and drums.
DIRECTOR AND CAST
Directed by Jess Franco.
Cast: Diana Lorys, Paul Muller, Jack Taylor, Colette Giacobine, Soledad Miranda (con lo pseudonimo di Susan Korda).
