THIS MUSIC FOR ZOMBIES AIN'T DEAD EITHER!!!.......2005-01-13
Dawn of the Zombies!.......2004-04-08
I did survive, and I did listen. Again and again. I'm hooked. And you will be too. I can't say enough about Zombies, except to say "Enough! I'm scared already!". For now, anyway. Wait, wait, I can't resist. I have to listen again! Agghhh! Care to join me?
"Music for Zombies" is GOOD music!.......2003-09-08
The opening piece of music, Zombie Sonata, is a spare and memorable composition on piano.. Images from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari came into my mind as I listened to it. It is easily one of Mr. Langdons best pieces.
Other compositions are played on a Wurli-Morton Theater Organ or a steam calliope. On Spirit Symphony, first heard on his album Music for Magicians, Mr. Langdon uses the bell-like celeste of the theater organ (in a way that suggests the innocence of childhood) against a sinister bass line. The composition was used recently in the daytime soap, Passions.
The theater organs vibrato is used to good effect on Hypnotique, creating an eerie sound similar, but more expressive than, the theremin. Here Mr. Langdon juxtaposes a strange melody of lingering notes against a march-like accompaniment of drums.
Carnival of Souls sounds like music you might hear at a circus for the insane. It is a diverting, even raucous piece. Those folks who find clowns scary will be especially disturbed by it.
His longest piece of music on the album is Zombie Suite, which is divided into three movements. This is the most symphonic sounding piece, with swelling horn and string sections. The music here struck me as more melancholy, even romantic, than creepy. After hearing it, I wondered why Mr. Langdon has not gone into composing for film. His compositions are better than some of what I hear at the movies these days. He certainly has the creativity required for music that touches and underscores emotions.
Mr. Langdon is known for his sense of humor (he used to be a gag writer for television) and he has some jokes here: the CD opens with the sound of a coffin opening and it ends with the sound of one closing. One track begins with a rather human-sounding wolf howl and another with a snippet of a funeral march. The CD is subtitled Grave Music for Brave People. Despite all that, the music is not treated lightly, but is well done and worth adding to your collection. I have a lot of music in this vein (no pun intended) and this one ranks with my favorites.
Old-School Horror music!!.......2003-07-16

Album Description
This is Nintendo Punk. Sixteen songs, thirteen about video games, two about junk food, one about freeing the lobsters from the tank at Red Lobster. Gaming songs are about loving Grand Theft Auto 3, being addicted to Aminal Forest, and hating Tomb Raider. Others delve into the inner psyches of fave game characters, like the angst-ridden Rayden on his prom night, a frustrated Renegade lost in the subway, and poor Lolo, faced with the decision of committing suicide (hitting select, to end the game) or living on to fight what he knows is a futile battle. All the important stuff.Customer Reviews:
Buy it. You know you want to!.......2005-09-05

1) Most people are giving judgements based on how they were on X-Play. If every band sounded live like they do on the album, then there's a problem.
2) This is not a band for everyone. You only need apply for the 14 Year Old Girls party if you like bands like The Faint, Gravy Train!!!!, Hawnay Troof, Totally Radd!!, Mindless Self Indulgence, and Atom and His Package.
Now, we begin. 14 Year Old Girls is a very interesting band because they work on two levels: The catchy keyboards and drums get lodged in my brain as I laugh and recall the game they're singing about.
The music is fast, electronic, catchy, and good enough to dance to. This album has inspired me to do the robot on many occassions.
If you're kind of torn on the subject of if you'll like them, scroll up a little. There's 9 thirty second song samples for you. Make your judgement then.
For those who thought these guys were a one-off novelty, you're wrong. On September 28th, their new album, "Strategy Guide" comes out and from what I've heard, it's eight times better than this one.
If you like Nintendo or new wave/keyboard rock, buy this album and support the revolution.
