Goblin - Zombi (Dawn of the Dead) OST


Goblin - Zombi (Dawn of the Dead) OST
Label - Cinevox
Released - 1978
Style - Soundtrack, Spooky, Library Music, Jazz, Funk, Orchestral, Score!

(From MovieGrooves.com):
In exchange for Dario Argento's help on Dawn of the Dead, George Romero allowed Argento to release a different (more explicit) cut of the movie in Europe. This version was called "Zombi". Instead of the library music score that Romero had used, Argento enlisted the help of his pals Goblin to record a new soundtrack. The result is a brilliant score; menacing, thrilling and totally suited to the movie. There's even a sleazy lounge-esque track - "Zombi (Supermarket)". We don't say it often, but this is a must!

The track Zombi is currently being used as part of the soundtrack for the (new UK zombie-comedy movie) Shaun of the Dead.

(from Wiki)
Raumpatrouille - Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffs Orion, colloquially also known as Raumpatrouille Orion, is the first German science fiction television series. Its seven episodes were broadcast by the ARD in 1966, with the first episode aired on Sept. 17th. It achieved audience ratings of up to 80%. The series has since acquired cult status in Germany. Raumpatrouille translates as "Space Patrol" in English.

The soundtrack was composed by Peter Thomas. As emblematic as Thomas' catchy soundtrack was the voiceover introduction, which both, like used in Star Trek of the same year, set tone and atmosphere of the series.

Voiceover introduction in German:
"Was heute noch wie ein Märchen klingt, kann morgen Wirklichkeit sein. Hier ist ein Märchen von Übermorgen: es gibt keine Nationalstaaten mehr. Es gibt nur noch die Menschheit und ihre Kolonien im Weltraum. Man siedelt auf fernen Sternen. Der Meeresboden ist als Wohnraum erschlossen. Mit heute noch unvorstellbaren Geschwindigkeiten durcheilen Raumschiffe unser Milchstraßensystem. Eins dieser Raumschiffe ist die ORION, winziger Teil eines gigantischen Sicherheitssystems, das die Erde vor Bedrohungen aus dem All schützt. Begleiten wir die ORION und ihre Besatzung bei ihrem Patrouillendienst am Rande der Unendlichkeit."

English translation:
"What may sound like a fairy tale today may be tomorrow's reality. This is a fairy tale from the day after tomorrow: There are no more countries. There is only mankind and its colonies in outer space. Mankind has settled on faraway stars. He has settled on the ocean floor. With velocities still unimaginable today, spaceships are rushing through our Milky Way. One of these spacecraft is the ORION, a minuscule part of a gigantic security system protecting the Earth from threats from outer space. We shall now accompany the ORION and her crew patrolling at the edge of infinity."


Such a bleak & sexy German vision of the future!
