Riz Ortolani - cannibal holocaust OST
Riz Ortolani - cannibal holocaust OST
Label - Coffin
Released - 1980
Style - Soundtrack, 1980, Horror, Scary, Jazz, Funk, Other
(From MovieGrooves.com):
This is Riz Ortolani's excellent soundtrack to Cannibal Holocaust - Ruggero Deodato's notoriously graphic gut-munching shocker from 1980.
The Cannibal Holocaust soundtrack is a wonderfully eclectic affair which mixes a variety of styles that - if you didn't know the contents of the movie - you wouldn't guess comes from the stomach-turner that is Cannibal Holocaust.
For the Main Theme, Ortolani serves up a lovely gentle melody that, although a beautiful piece of music, is somewhat at odds with what's about to follow on-screen. And that's what makes Cannibal Holocaust soundtrack so great.
For the rest of the Cannibal Holocaust soundtrack, Ortolani uses a full arsenal of musical styles and arrangements (including electronics!) to convey a variety of emotions including sadness (Adulteress' Punishment), frivolity (Cameramen's Recreation) and introspection (Crucified Woman).
And if that wasn't enough - our boy Riz only goes and gives us a great lounge track (Relaxing in the Savana) and the fantastically jazzy "Drinking Coco" too!
Highly recommended.

Hey! Thanks for posting this!
I've been a fan of this film for years and the soundtrack is pretty darned cool. The use of the synththesizer was pleasantly surprising when I first heard it.
You're right, the Main Theme is beautiful.
Definitely. Thanks for the comment!
