Extraordinarily literate and thoroughly compelling, The Wicker Man has often been called the Citizen Kane
of horror movies. Writer Anthony Shaffer and director Robin Hardy built
their contemporary (1973) English murder mystery/thriller upon gothic
Druid underpinnings and wisely gave songwriter-composer Paul Giovanni
(whose first and only film score this is) the freedom to create music of
a piece. The score remains one of the most unusual in the entire genre:
a collection of original, well-researched folk songs and instrumental
underscore that evoke a rare, eerily discomfiting sense of displaced
time and place--'70s folk-pop informed by ancient forces of nature and
superstition. Long a holy grail among soundtrack aficionados, this
lavishly packaged and annotated release has been prepared from recently
discovered master tapes with a clarity and presence that gives the late
Giovanni's haunting music the gratifying showcase it's so long deserved.
Enjoy!
