The Horror [EP]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
In contrast to much of the testosterone-loaded Definitive Jux camp, RJD2 has always seemed a man apart with his intricate, almost delicate sound collages. When his Dead Ringer appeared in 2002, many championed RJ as a rival to DJ Shadow as hip-hop's premier instrumentalist, and his ability to manipulate moods through music suggests that RJ is more than another introverted beat-maker stuck inside a bedroom. The Horror expands on RJ's previous work with revisits to some Dead Ringer favorites like the funkalicious "Let the Good Times Roll" and dramatic, campy title track. He retunes his own material to impressive effect on the remix for "Ghostwriter," but entirely new songs like the soulful, melancholy "Sell the World" are most interesting as RJ nimbly stitches together threads and loops of found sound into sublime new compositions. The bonus disc in this set includes live concert footage as well as the animated video for "The Horror." --Oliver Wang

Don't have the time (or the props) to watch the whole movie? Just put on the soundtrack--it's got all the best parts without the dialog in-between! Well, isn't that what an Original Soundtrack Recording like this is supposed to be? Back in the mid-70s when The Rocky Horror Picture Show was a midnight staple at countless movie theaters, Tim Curry wasn't yet "Tim Curry" and Susan Sarandon wasn't yet "Susan Sarandon" (hell, Barry Bostwick wasn't even "Barry Bostwick"!). Listening to these science-fiction double-feature showtunes will take you back through a time warp to the days when the now-Academy-Award-winning actress was perfectly willing to stand around for most of a picture in her bra and panties--and so would her boyfriend! In those days, they were just Brad and Janet, forced to spend a dark and stormy (also sexy) night in the haunted house of mad scientist Frank N. Furter--just a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania-ha-ha who really knew how to belt out a song. Those were the days. --Jim Emerson

5 out of 5 stars Its ROCKY ... wwhat can you say~??.......2007-03-12

Its Rocky Horror.. any fan would be singing along and wanting to jump out at stop lights and do the "time warp". Brings back such great memories of throwing rice and newspapers.
now Im teaching my teenagers and Time Warp.
Time to pass it on.
Thanks for the great service and fast shipping.

5 out of 5 stars Sing Along, Dance Along, Enjoy Life!.......2007-03-10

I love the Rocky Horror Picture Show! Talk about a classic that shows off Tim Curry's vocal talents. Susan Sarandon is equally stunning in her role as a sweet, naive girl who grows a bit wild as the movie rolls on.

The basic premise of the movie is that it's a send-up of all the classic 1950s horror films, complete with a mad scientist creating his own monster, and the sweet innocent couple who bumble their way into this all. Toss in the wild 70s style free-love, space aliens, cross dressing and some truly classic lines, and you can see why this has become the favorite of many people.

Just about every song in here is one that you have great fun singing along with. The lyrics are great. The vocals are great. Tim Curry really has a fantastic voice that you have to hear to believe. You not only want to sing along with the songs, but get up and dance too! Then you have the sweet, harmonious songs too, the ones that really connect with your soul.

It definitely helps to see the movie a few times, to understand the great visuals that go along with the song - but once you've got that down, play the CD in your car, while you do your chores, or while you're getting work done! It makes the time fly by, and leaves you upbeat and enjoying life.

4 out of 5 stars A Guilty Pleasure.......2007-02-12

I can't help but love this movie/soundtrack. It's fun, silly & extremely entertaining. Give it a shot, you might just like it!

5 out of 5 stars an old favorite.......2007-01-18

this cd is great! i received it in under a week. i payed less than half of what it cost elsewhere.

5 out of 5 stars Midnight Movie.......2007-01-09

Even though the days of Rocky Horror being the midnight movie every Saturday night are gone, it is nice to re-live that era occasionally at home. Adding dialogue is still fun, but unless you have the carpet cleaner scheduled for the next day you better leave it at that!

5 out of 5 stars Eerie and dark music for the soul.......2007-03-08

Midnight Syndicate's 13th HOUR is the perfect album to listen to while you write; its dark mood and somber atmosphere are inspiring to me when I write a horror tale. It also serves as great background music to your Halloween party or gothic evening among friends.

This was the first album I got from them and I want all the others too because I'm hooked now. They recently re-released their early works under the title OUT OF THE DARKNESS. Also, check out VAMPYRE and GATES OF DELIRIUM.

Whether you're the Goth type or a casual fan wanting some cool music to set the ambiance at a party, 13th HOUR is an awesome symphonic horror album.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!.......2007-02-03

I write gothic horror stories and love to listen to music that "puts me into another world". I'm so glad that I found this CD. It has definately inspired some of my best writing.

5 out of 5 stars great music.......2007-01-11

5 out of 5 stars very cool.......2007-01-10

I'm a halloween fan from wayyy back and this is the best cd I've found for just the occasion.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Atmospheric c.d........2007-01-08

We had this playing in all the rooms of our house during our Halloween party last year, all the tracks going in different order in a continuous loop. This set quite a mood! Everyone commented on the music and how great it was. Just the right amount and use of sound effects. So many Halloween type c.d.'s go too far and become just corny and that wrecks the mood you're trying to create in the first place. After the party, when everyone left but for my cousins and us, we just had this playing in the library and had a ball scaring the wits out of each other with our own "personal" ghost stories. We're not into the whole goth culture thing, but we can appreciate what M.S. is doing. To listen to this at only Halloween is a mistake, you're short changing yourself. Put this on curled up with you're favorite suspense, thriller or horror book for an added dimension to the experience.

Another installment of the Cult Show That Will Not Die, the 25th anniversary edition of the Rocky Horror soundtrack has, of course, the kinds of things one would expect of an anniversarial edition. These include previously unreleased tracks and a CD booklet that attempts to explain the inexplicable: how character actor Richard O'Brien's little slice of weirdness became such a hit that, a quarter of a century later, it's a Broadway production once again. Even today, there are people out there being, well, exposed to the phenomenon that is Rocky Horror for the first time, and the reaction is always the same: either utter enchantment or utter mystification. There's no denying that the show has a certain appeal. Creator O'Brien has called it "something any 10-year-old can enjoy," and maybe that's the secret: something about Rocky Horror's barely controlled insanity connects with our inner children. Maybe it's Tim Curry's magnetic performance. Maybe it's the music. Maybe it's '70s nostalgia. Whatever the reason, Rocky Horror has proved that one need not be mainstream to become an icon of popular culture. While the images and ideas contained therein might hardly turn a head today, there's nothing else like it that's quite as much fun. --Genevieve Williams

3 out of 5 stars Close, but not quite there........2007-03-28

This album is so close to being a worthwhile release.
I don't regret buying it, because my copy of the soundtrack was the older release on tape.
I'm very happy to have the otherwise unreleased songs on this album. The sound quality is good, but not especially noteworthy.

But the dialogue clips are insufferable. A soundtrack album is supposed to be the music, not an "album of the movie." These clips drastically decrease the likability of this recording - that and the missing end of Planet Shmanet.

There's also the plus that those silly remixes of the Time Warp are absent. And splitting up the Floor Show music sequence is a real plus.

1 out of 5 stars PAGES WERE WATER STAINED AND WAVY.......2007-01-30

I WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF THE BOOK OF MUSIC I RECEIVED. THE PAGES HAD OBVIOUSLY GOTTEN WET AND DRIED, SO THE BOOK WAS ALL OUT OF SHAPE. WHEN TRYING TO COPY IT TO MAKE AN EXTRA ONE FOR MY ACCOMPANIST, IT CONSTANTLY GOT STUCK IN THE MACHINE AND IT TOOK FOREVER TO GET THE COPYING DONE. THIS BOOK WAS IN TERRIBLE SHAPE AND I WASTED A LOT OF MONEY TRYING TO COPY IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I WILL NEVER NEVER BUY A USED COPY AGAIN AS A RESULT. I LEARNED MY LESSON, BUT THE SELLER OF THE BOOK SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR MISREPRESENTATION.!!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars ALMOST Complete.......2006-10-28

I am glad this came out but wish that the 1 minute missing of Time warp was in here and the You're a hot dog part of Planet Schmanet Janet.

KUDOS: For including Planet Schmanet Janet (albeit in edited form) I love the beat on it and love the part where Riff Raff and Magenta are laughing and he tells her to shut up.

I think the reason I like the movie (Which I consider more of a Rock Opera than a musical) is the music. Although some of it is better with the pictures it goes to, The songs are great for random singing. Whoever the session drummer was on this was really good as well. Nice fills. I actually enjoy the movie and dislike going to the theater to see it.

Unless you want an idiotic remix of Time Warp, this is the definitive (for now) version to get. We complain but come on, you don't think at some point they won't do another anniversary edition?

Mr. O'Brien, if you read these sites, I heard you wanted to do a sequel, PLEASE DO! just give us more groovy music, be in it and bring back some of the characters from the first one and I'll see it!

3 out of 5 stars havent got it yet.......2005-10-20

looks like a great cd i have another rhps but doesnt have a few of the songs nor does it have a booklet to go wtih it.

as for the people who dont know where the song super heoreos goes is when the castle takes off and u see them on the ground. The crim.s line and "crawling on the planets face some insects called the human race lost in time lost in space" is the last verse. (yes the line was off the top of my head i've wtched a few times too many)

the once in a while song i havent figured oput yet where that goes.

4 out of 5 stars Fond Memories.......2005-08-04

This CD is great. It includes more than just the music from the movie. It has some of the dialogue as well. It also includes a song that was not in the actual motion picture, but it is a nice addition. Anyone wanting to be able to remember going to this midnight movie would truly enjoy owning this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Agggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I've found a good CD.......2003-08-03

There's some good sounds on here and unlike other sound effect CDs there's a track listing in the cover booklet for all 101 tracks. The times listed in the CD cover booklet aren't the same length as on the actual CD though.

Some of the tracks go for too long and would have been more affective as shorter tracks and you end up skipping to the next at times. I particularly liked the scream tracks. A great collection of horror sounds.

5 out of 5 stars A Must Have!.......2002-04-16

If your planning a Haunted House for Halloween then this is a must have.
It gives the final eerie effects that you need to complete your Halloween plans.
I highly recommend this, as a Horror fan.

This is not the best overall sound f/x CD out there, but you do get an array of sound effects that will fit into any horror film project you are working on. Don't spend a lot money on those other "Halloween F/X" CD's (I've tried them all), this one does the job.

The team of Travis Smith and Danny Miki once again created the artwork for the album which turned out amazing! 2001 release.

5 out of 5 stars Metal and Monsters.......2007-05-15

>Now, I've heard it said many a time that horror movies and heavy metal go together like sin and Satan. I mean it makes sense right? Heavy metal is sometimes very haunting, mostly dark, and shrouded in mysticism and folklore. Horror books (and movies as well) also portray scenes of extreme intensity and darkness, full of suspense and sometimes disturbing depictions. In fact, someone once said that "if heavy metal were to be classified according to motion picture, if would be in the horror section." So it's about time a band created a concept album solely about, you guessed it, classic horror stories. Included are the classic tales of Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Werewolf (among others), which talk of the evil and destructive means of these famous villains, but also the passion and beauty that goes along with them as well. Also, Iced Earth keeps the cheese at a safe distance, and approaches these subjects with seriousness and maturity, not going overboard MOST of the time. Besides the horrific images that Jon Schaffer and Barlow write and sing about respectively, they delve into the passion and emotion that are present in "Phantom Opera Ghost" and "Dracula", while, again, not sounding ridiculously embarrassing.

The musicianship is, to put it in words, exceptional and top-notch. Schaffer rips out crunchy and powerful riffs, that leave you sweating and out of breath, but also, delicately produces melodic and soul-searching acoustic passages (on tracks like "Ghost of Freedom", "Dracula", and "Phantom Opera Ghost") that leave you...well... breathless as well. Matt couldn't be better, and being his last studio release with the band, he really "goes out on a good note." His maniacal screams give you chills up your spine, while his emotional side challenges the listener to sing along and attempt to hit those high notes in tune with his iron pipes. The rhythm section sounds more than solid as well, keeping complex time with the immortal Schaffer, and generating memorable pieces, such as the opening bass part on "Damien" or the intricate and creative drum intro on "Wolf". Everything from the mandatory guitar to the occasional flute fits right in with the powerful music giving the listener ample satisfaction.

"Wolf" opens up on a great note, dropping the listener into talented drums and duel guitar leads, when...suddenly... Barlow screams like a madman, while Jon tears out some heavy artillery. The chorus is especially good, as it contains some insane double-bass{ing} as well as a sing-along vocal part. Matt describes the man turning into a wolf, the temptation and rage that goes along with that, and everything else implied perfectly. Very cool opener. "Damien" (which is one of my favorite IE songs ever) then creeps up, opening with a sweet bass line and some really moving "choir" effects, saying Set! Domino! Set! Very haunting intro, that gets even better when Jon dishes out a chilling acoustic passage, then...BAM! Heavy riffage bursts through the speakers accompanying Barlow's menacing vocals, creating images of evil and sadness all around. The chorus is, too put it simply, AMAZING and always continues to leave me awestruck. Again, Christy rides the double-bass like nobody's business while Matt reaches into his soul and conjures up some memorable vocals. The interlude is also note-worthy and very enjoyable. Flawless to put it simply.

"Jack" is next, which tells the tale of the infamous Jack the Ripper and all he was known for. Without getting too graphic, Barlow puts himself in Jack's shoes, relating his life and adventures throughout his abominable reign. Fast-as-hell (probably the fastest on the album), with an especially notable bass part and Matt's malignant vocals give a dark atmosphere to the song. Also great, is after the interlude, Matt really delivers a haunting scream and very powerful verse. Another gem to enjoy. "Ghost of Freedom" showcases Shaffer and Barlow in their emotional side. It's mostly just an acoustic ballad that never gains momentum until the wicked solo. Very moving, and a nice contrast to the heavy hitters that surround it. While not my favorite IE song, it really adds a lot to the album and must not be overlooked.

"Im-Ho-Tep" naturally and not-surprisingly opens with an Egyptian-like riff that builds into a very driving and heavy riff from Jon. Barlow really sounds good on this one, hitting those high notes perfectly and with ease. It sounds like, during the verses, Matt sang one way, then overlain it with another vocal part. Very cool and noodly solo as well. Another acoustic passage opens "Jeckyl and Hyde", but not for long, because it soon turns into a heavy powerhouse. The chorus isn't that memorable, but still good. A mandolin is used during the interlude which adds some "class" to the song. Really cool time-change too at about 2:35 or so.

"Dragon's Child" opens with a haunting intro with some hushed vocals as well. Soon, Jon once again delivers a driving riff and Matt really sings his heart out. Very good song that will definitely fill an empty void. "Transylvania" is my personal favorite Maiden instrumental and I was glad that Iced Earth did a cover. Better production, a faster pace, and new musicians is all that's really new about this classic. Up the irons! "Frankenstein" is one of those songs that you know right away is gonna be something special. Heavy, opening riff that turns into a galloping verse complementing Barlow's intimidating voice. The chorus is easily one of the best off the album and very catchy. Great listen.

"Dracula" opens with a very soft acoustic intro with some over-the-top sappies from Matt. A tad too passionate but fear not, because after a bit your ears are filled with Matt's soaring voice and Jon's fast hands. To be honest, what starts off as one of the lightest off the album turns into the heaviest. Great stuff. "Phantom Opera Ghost" is also something very, very special. The intro is very entertaining and easy to hum to. Then after a bit Jon's guitar shreds itself some heavy riffs. A chick is brought in to do the female part of the story, and while I usually don't approve, it's acceptable with Iced Earth. No, really it's quite good and not awkward in the least bit. Matt is in his BEST performance here, sounding so much like the Phantom (from what I've seen in the movie), it's scary. The insanely fast acoustic part after the interlude seems impossible. Great closure to this masterpiece.

All in all, you need this album. It's so solid, and very memorable, it can get no lower than a 4.5 star. If you like classic horror movies (like myself) this album will interest you. But then, if you despise horror movies, but love epic and progressive metal that is ever so thrashy, then you won't be disappointed. Easily a top 10-15 NM classic, Horror Show puts on more than merely a "show".

5 out of 5 stars Very Impressed.......2007-01-19

I don't want to bore people with a long elegant review full of analogies so instead, I'll just say that I found this by accident and have been hooked ever since. Very intelligent and memorable in it's delivery along with excellent drumming and guitar work with outstanding vocals.

5 out of 5 stars a Horror Show indeed.......2007-01-08

This is heavy metal at its finest. Great musicianship. It's a concept album based on monsters from dark and old horror movies. The best songs:
Wolf: A great way to start the album, great guitar intro, and chorus
Damien: an epic talking about the antichrist, it starts dark and mysterious, and then gets slow and heavy
Dracula: this song starts very slow and soft and then Barlow screams of blood and vampires while the band picks up the tempo
The Phantom Opera Ghost: a song about the famous play, this song is a great duet with the phantom talking to his love Christine

Overall, a great album

5 out of 5 stars Phantasmagorically Great Fun!.......2006-08-29

This is the first album I've ever listened to, much less owned, by Iced Earth. I was definitely not disappointed. Standout tracks include The Phantom Opera Ghost, Dracula, Jack, and Jeckyll and Hyde--but really, every song is a buffet of awesomeness. It's too bad Matt Barlow left after this album. I can't imagine anybody else doing lead vocals.

If you like your face, you probably shouldn't listen to this CD, as the sheer thrashing greatness will cause said face to explode.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2006-07-26

Despite having a larger fan base in Europe than in the United States, Florida headbangers Iced Earth have blessed fans of classic heavy metal with a theme album about monsters! Iced Earth have been around since the early 1990's, but the group became well known in the metal scene almost 10 years later with the release of Something Wicked This Way Comes. The next studio album, sadly the last to feature lead vocalist Matt Barlow, is 2001's Horrow Show.

The albums starts strongly with 'Wolf,' a fast paced onslaught that should have the listener in awe after one song. Damien, an epic song about the infamous son of Satan, is possibly one of the best songs featured. I am a Christian, but I listen to the lyrics in the context of the background on Damien, who is portrayed from The Oman. Other monster's tales included are Dracula, Frankenstein, Jack the Ripper, and the dreaded Phantom Opera Ghoast, which is my favorite song featured on this release. The song 'Ghost of Freedom' is a ballad about the fight to ensure freedom for an entire nation. Schaffer is very patriotic and has a passion for history.

A lot of fans that I know classify Iced Earth's music as a cross between old Metallica and Iron Maiden, with some hints of Judas Priest, Kiss and Morbid Angel. Iced Earth have a very balanced style of music and these guys will definately make your neck sore with their releases. Matt Barlow left fans a wonderful legacy of work with his last full-time performance with vocals. Horrow Show is one of Iced Earth's finest moments, along with Burnt Offerings and Something Wicked This Way Comes. Iced Earth does not disappoint fans with the evil, dark, but fun release, Horror Show.

4 out of 5 stars The best album (still currently for sale) from Midnight Syndicate (but it goes down hill from here).......2007-04-18

The dark magic faded fast after this album was released. Everything they did afterwards just seemed to become redundant. No newer album ever merited any improvements or aroused any special new nuances. Their newer material just started to sound like previously rejected filler material that they started to release afterwards as whole albums. So, I guess, nowadays, Midnight Syndicate is just sitting in limbo hoping to conjure up some new fresh ideas. And they are probably still just licking their wounds from last years backlash of discontinuing the availabilty of their best albums, and then releasing a shoddy re-recording of key tracks.



When I first started buying the CD's of Midnight Syndicate, I was pretty excited about having this dark moody classical outlet to add to my music library. Before the Midnight Syndicate, I only use to find small episodes of the kind of music that the Midnight Syndicate does.



There are other artists such as Cradle of Filth, Yello, Vangelis, Rick Wakeman, Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, and Jean Michel Jarre and various types of horror soundtracks (John Carpenter, Giorgio Moroder, Goblin, etc.) that would give you one or two really cool dark classical instrumentals that just made you wish there were more. When Midnight Syndicate came out with "Born of the Night", that was the album that represented all that I was looking for in a complete sound concept that captured and embraced my more sinister side but in a subtle way. Just like when Hitler had Wagner, and Alex (A Clockwork Orange) had Beethoven, the Midnight Syndicate gave me that atmosphere that empowered my darkest moods and made me feel that there was a kind of music out there that understands me.



This album of "Gates of Delerium" is their fourth project and probably one of the easiest ones to buy. Their first three CD's are discontinued and out of print. It's unfortunate because "Born of the Night" and "Realm of Shadows" were their best two albums. I got them, Thank God, but new fans will never know their most creative years. After "Gates of Delerium" their appeal really began to drop because their music wasn't really growing or going anywhere new and adventurous. Some concepts have changed, but those changed concepts were just becoming stale and redundant. They started to record dull uninspiring stale non-embellished classical passages which all sounded alike all through their albums. Each album just started to get even more boring from one album to the next. Their last respectable project was "The 13th Hour". So if you get "Gates of Delerium" and "The 13th Hour", that is all you really need from the Midnight Syndicate. Their other albums (including their retrospective CD) are just so bland and uninteresting. But, of course, if you see them "used" somewhere selling for about the price of an empty CD jewel box, that may be worth it. If you see "Born of the Night" and "Realm of Shadows" used somewhere, definitely jump on them. And check out Nox Arcana too if you want to check out more music similar to "Gates of Delerium" (and especially the eerie sound of "Born of the Night" and "Realm of Shadows"). Midnigh Syndicate haven't released anything new since their "Out of the Darkness" CD. I guess they are still suffering from the repercussions of that major mistake. I sure hope they'll bounce back with something new soon.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Incredible Musical Tour Through A 19th Century Asylum!!.......2006-12-11

Listening to this muscial masterpiece as I type this, I'm astounded to find that I have never placed my review of this Incredible CD on this page and I've owned it for years.

Allow me to correct that mistake right now.

Everyone...this is one FUN FUN FUN CD!

Just listening to this music now, there is so much more freedom and artistic openness to the arrangements from the previous two CDs.
Both Born of the Night and Realm of Shadows are Awesome CDs in thier own right and ANY Midnight Syndicate fan should have them in thier collection (if they can still obtain a copy seeing that both recordings have been discontinued) but there is an *oppression* present that I can't put my finger on.
I can't explain it.
But in THIS recording...Midnight Syndicate Band Mates Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka BUST LOOSE and become the Artists that they are destined to be. This musical tour relies VERY LITTLE on sound effects and those that are there are very well and appropriately placed. Never over done...never under done. Your imagination is ALLOWED to take over and see what it wants to see...and sometimes things that you don't, but your brain takes you there anyway! lol!
The music is lush, darkly alluring and carries you through the asylum of scared, misunderstood and mistreated patients at the mercy of the facility's sadistic Dr. Haverghast! *Don't worry! you don't hear anything *BAD* but like I said, this CD-so good- your brain just takes you there!
I have never tired of this recording. It's complete "Mind Candy" and carries you away to another time.
This is why Midnight Syndicate are the Masters of the Genre that they created... Gothic Halloween CDs for the Imagination and they just keep getting better and better with time.

Now....go buy this CD and let yourself be taken away....
down the hall, dragged, screaming for your life as the metal door slams shut behind you as your helpless screams die away in the distance.....

5 out of 5 stars Another Midnight Syndicate disc that is a must have.......2006-06-05

"Gates of Delirium" is the CD that set the stage for the band's CD "The 13th Hour." Even though I was introduced to "The 13th Hour" first, I really enjoy this CD & it really allows you to picture the haunted asylum. Great music mixed with the minimal sounds of crazed laughter and ghostly effects, it can quickly create goose bumps all over your body. I realized after listening to it over and over again, that this is the music being used at two haunted houses in my area last fall.

If you are looking for a mysterious, dark, haunting orchestral CD, this is a must have.

2 out of 5 stars Footsteps, knocks & giggles.......2006-04-24

If you want to listen to something really unsettling, try Brian Eno's "On Land". It's the creepiest thing I've ever heard - and it doesn't rely on footsteps, knocks and giggles like "Gates of Delirium" does. Sure, the music here (when it's not overblown) has its moments, but it's really just a cross between a horror movie soundtrack and a Hallowe'en special effects CD. The track "Haverghast Asylum" reminds me of an outtake from Alice Cooper's "Welcome to My Nightmare". That might have been the intention, of course, but it adds up to a CONSCIOUSLY spooky listen, not a SUBCONSCIOUSLY eerie listen like the aforementioned album by Eno.

If you're looking for background music to a game of Vampire: The Masquerade, I suppose "Gates of Delirium" will do the trick - but if you want to feel the goosebumps rise, put on a pair of headphones, turn out the lights, and listen to "On Land". Alone.

5 out of 5 stars "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.".......2005-11-30

Are you looking for that halloween music that can give you a fright?
Are you hungering for the music that gives chills and is right with the moon in the dead of night?
Are you tired of those $3.99 Halloween Cds you find at your local grocery store?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you've come to the right place. So, now, sit back, relax, and dim the lights as we take you on a journey through an abandoned insane asylum. Be warned that once you have arrived, you'll never be able to see the sun ever again. Every song from the first to the last sends chills down the spine of the unwary listener. As the Cd progresses we are treated to sounds of wailings as we hear imprisoned souls as they cry out in pain as they suffer the agony of their tormenters. "Room 47" is where you feel the pain of the soul that is confined to this blited place. Beware, once you have arrived, you never get out alive. Highly recommended.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

The movie version of The Rocky Horror Show has turned into such an enduring cult success that it has pretty much obliterated the fact that it all started with a stage show. And now Richard O'Brien's musical is back on stage, where some say it truly belongs (it was nominated for the category Best Revival of a Musical in the 2001 Tony Awards). With a great cast that includes Dick Cavett, Alice Ripley (Janet), Tom Hewitt (Frank 'N' Furter), and Daphne Rubin-Vega (Magenta), the revival fires on all cylinders. Note that while Joan Jett was in the cast as Columbia, she's not on the CD (Kristen Lee Kelly is). But Lea DeLaria, last seen stealing the show in On the Town, more than compensates by playing both Eddie (Meat Loaf in the movie!) and Dr. Scott--and doing great by both. As a bonus, the song "Once in a While" is back after being cut from the movie. Bursting with energy, this recording brings the rock back in Rocky. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite cast recordings.......2007-01-17

This was the first Rocky Horror album I've ever listened to besides the movie soundtrack. Despite the lack of Joan Jett as Columbia and the 2nd Usherette, this album is sweet. Daphne-Rubin Vega is perfect as Magenta. And Tom Hewlett 's interpretation as Frank N. Furter is just in sync with the character. But he's still no Tim Curry. And the rest of the cast is sublime. And with Dick Cavett as the Criminologist and famed lesbian comedienne Lea DeLaria as both Eddie and Dr. Scott is just excellent.

5 out of 5 stars Thougt You Were The Candyman Didn't ya freggy!.......2006-06-22

I thought that this was gonna be just another edition of the Rocky Horror Show.But boy was I wrong.I loved it they really modernized and gave it more of a Rock flavor than in the original play which was more pop.I just loved how they had the Overture and Space shipa partof the cd.They really recreated great for broadway.When i heard that broadway was doing Then Rocky Horror Show I didn't know what to think.Because Rocky Horror had been an off-broadway show for many years.The thought of it being onBroadway was just amazing Because people back in the 70's and 80's always thought that The Rocky Horror Show was much too trashy to be put on Broadway.Because you always think about broadway plays as being classy and eligent.They didn't want a play about Sex and Horror and Gay Transvestites.But this was just a head turner.I loved it.It's definitely 5 stars.The cd quality was great.It was so professionally done and it was great.I think any RHS Fan will love it.This was no candyman!

4 out of 5 stars The Rockiest Recording to Date.......2006-06-07

This 2000 Broadway revival of the cult classic THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW boasts a completely re-vamped orchestration of Richard O'Brien's score. This is certainly the most rock-fused version of these songs to date, and right from the "Overture" the listener can assume this. Many may not be able to accept this harder, bolder score and I myself am a bit skeptical, considering the more piano-driven and sci-fi sounding orchestrations of the film soundtrack or Roxy cast recording. However, it is so interesting to hear these songs done like this that I cannot help but enjoy it. The performances are half-and-half. Daphne Rubin-Vega belts out the opening number in that great gravelly voice she has, and Raul Esparzza sends chills down my spine every time I hear his two great solo moments ("The darkness must flow down the river...." and "Frank 'N' Furter, it's all over..."). Sebastian LaCause is amazing as Rocky, as thankless a part that is. Eddie and Dr. Scott being portrayed by a woman (Lea DeLaria) is one of the strangest casting decisions ever and is too distracting to be able to even listen to her (his? I don't know!!!) songs: "Hot Patootie" and "Eddie's Teddy." Tom Hewitt does his best as Frank 'N' Furter, but the character was so well defined by Tim Curry in the film (one of the most underrated performances ever) that one can't help but ignore him. I'd say that this recording is something every ROCKY HORROR fan should listen to; it just all depends on whether you like the new or original orchestrations.

3 out of 5 stars Good recording, bad show........2006-03-10

Rocky Horror is an American institution. It's indelible, unforgettable, and entirely unique. But without the audience participation, the show is revealed - it's simply not very good. It's a passable (if dated) parody of '50s B-movies with a transvestite main character and some halfway decent songs. The show lives with and dies without an audience. The lyrics, the characters - nothing is half as fun without the audience throwing and shouting and bantering right along.

That said, this is a VERY good recording of what's there. Tom Hewitt does as good a job as anyone trying to fill Tim Curry's sequined heels, and brings some nice twists to the table instead of going the Curry-imitation route. Raul Esparza as Riff-Raff is electric - his rendition of "Time Warp" is unlike anything else you're likely to hear on a cast recording. He blasts it right into outer space, screaming like the world's going to end. Daphne Rubin-Vega is plenty of fun as Columbia, giving a nicely sinuous and raw-edged sexiness to the role. The orchestra gives their all to the new arrangements, and they sound crystal clear.

It's definitely the best recording of the show available, even sans Tim Curry.

3 out of 5 stars Oh Daphne!.......2005-12-29

Most of the reviews have it right here - this production wasn't really Rocky at it's best. That being said, I must say that Daphne Ruben-Vega as magenta is probably one of the most interesting, refreshing, and note worthy things about this recording. Very cool in that regard.

That's All...

The first time I heard this album, I wasn't blown away. It was good and all, but I liked it the least of all of the previous Midnight Syndicate albums. Not too long ago, I pulled it out again and listened to it again. It's funny how your opinion of something can change over time. This time, I WAS blown away. I thought to myself "How could I have only thought 'yeah, it's pretty good' back then?" This CD was amazing!

If you weren't overly impressed the first tme you heard this CD, throw it back in and give it another try. It might just sound a little different to your ears this time around.

I just got done listening to this album. It's the first of its kind for me. I was completely blown away.

If this doesn't get you somewhere within your soul, I swear you're dead (no pun intended).

2 out of 5 stars redux.......2007-07-06

Four of the songs on this CD (Oklahoma, Music of the Night, Cabaret, and All That Jazz) were on the earlier Ultimate Broadway. Of all the shows that have been on Broadway over the past 70+ years, including the ones that are currently running, there is no excuse for repeats!

3 out of 5 stars Moderate Quality.......2003-06-20

I believe that the show selection for this CD was excellent. However the song selection and song order were not. Why pick "Your Daddy's Son" from Ragtime when you can have the amazing and fantastic "Prologue" from the same show. Also I believe that a mistake was made by slecting "I Don Quixote" from Man of La Mancha instead of the much more listenable "Impossible Dream." Also the overture from Gypsy is not the proper song to start out a CD. Perhaps the "Overture" from The Phantom of the Opera.

This is however an excellent example of showtunes for inexperienced members of the theatrical world.

2 out of 5 stars POOR EXCUSE FOR SOME GOOD THEATER MUSIC.......2003-05-20

The best of Broadway? Sure, if you consider the best of Broadway only those songs taken only from RCA Victor cast recordings. Expect the expected: Tracks from "Ragtime," "Chicago," "42nd Street" and "Man of La Mancha," sung by the likes of Audra
McDonald, Bebe Neuwirth, Jerry Orbach and Brian Stokes Mitchell. Including a live recording of Barbara Cook warbling "Losing My Mind" from her "Mostly Sondheim" CD isn't exactly kosher. But then again, neither is this gimmick-riddled release. Curtain up?

5 out of 5 stars The Rocky Horror Show: Original Roxy Cast (1974 Los Angeles Cast).......2006-09-13

Having been exposed to the original Roxy cast version at about 12 by my mom (who actually saw the play 8 times at the Roxy. . . amazing) I have been a RH ran for virtually all my life. Hands down this version is the best musically. I'm reading some of the other reviews that slam this version as being less musical and poorly arranged. R U F'N CRZEE????? The Roxy v. has WAAAY more musicality from guitars to piano and horns, not to mention having all of the original script actually sung. . . and not spoken. The vocal lines are so much more dynamic and lyrically sung than the movie. For the recrord. . I LOVE THE MOVIE ! !! I went for years to the Tiffani in Hollywood on Saturday nights and saw the midnight showing. Those of you in LA know what I'm talking about. SOOOO COOOOOOLLLL SO I'm not here to bash just to illuminate a diff point of view to some of the other reveiews. Listen to them all and decide for yourself. For me. . .this one is just a step to the left ! !

5 out of 5 stars Heck Yes!.......2006-01-15

When you compare the gritty original 1973 London Cast recording to this pulled together, yet equally gritty 1974 roxy cast, you can't help but get a tear in your eye, seeing you're, and so many other Rockyheads, baby all grown up, and doing just fine.

So much was improved upon it's almost perverse!

Considering this was the second Rocky recording of it's day, it was exciting to get all of the songs , save Science Fiction Double Feature Reprise, whichf or whatever reason was cut. Not only that but you get a great cast. Tim Curry returns for his definitive Frank which has a rawer edge in this recording, and the supportig cast wonderfully fills some shoes, especially Bruce Scott as Riff-Raff, who proves you don't have to be Richard O'Brien to take Tim Curry prisoner.

And Meatloaf as Eddie AND Dr.Scott? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?! He's fantastic! This dual role should have been carried over to the film version it's simply incredible!

5 out of 5 stars How I came upon the 1974 Roxy cast.......2005-10-31

I got this one by mistake, although I loved it. The magenta(Jamie donnely) played Jan in the movie Grease. Bruce scott was an excellent Riff-Raff. Abigale hanness is not a singer.She dosen't sing she screeches. Tim curry of course was wxcellent as usual. Meatloaf is still and will allways be Eddie the ex delivry boy.This recording is great,but the cover that I got for it is different from the one amazon.com is advertising.The one that I have has a scared Colombia screaming.This cover is actually the re-issue cover of the cd because this cd was re-issued just like the movie soundtrack.Rember the movie soundtrack the first time it came out,it had everybody's faces on it but hen the re-issue came out and it just had Frank sitting on the lips. If you look clossly on the re-issue of the movie sondtrack you can see Colombia,Rocky,Frank,Brad,And Janet.

3 out of 5 stars Not as good as the movie sdtk, but does have Kim Milford.......2005-09-30

FIRST OF ALL- AMAZON HAS THE WRONG COVER PHOTO FOR THIS ALBUM. THE CORRECT ROXY COVER HAS AN ILLUSTRATION OF COLUMBIA'S HEAD (NOT LIPS!!!)...Anyhow, if I had to choose between this Roxy recording and the movie soundtrack- I'd pick the movie soundtrack. The arrangements on the Picture Show sdtk are better, Richard O'Brien is riff-raff, the songs are tighter, it's just better overall. HOWEVER, the reason I purchased the Roxy version was to get Kim Milford's version of "sword of damacles" (the song isn't on the movie sdtk). Why didn't they put Kim Milford in the movie version?? (God rest your soul, Kim). The guy they used in the movie couldn't even sing- they had to dub his voice!? Anyhow, the Roxy version also has a pretty good version of "planet shmanet janet" which also isn't on the movie sdtk. But to me, the movie sdtk is the DEFINITIVE recording.

5 out of 5 stars The best and only one you need........2005-04-05

This is so superior to the film Soundtrack it's almost crimminal.
One playing of Time Warp will sell you on this.

I always thought the film was terribly made, but it's also terribly second rate musically.
