Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death - Free 70s/80s Horror Mix Download

A German DJ/Producer who goes by the name RFLX has put together an excellent mix of horror music and samples called Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death. There's some really great stuff on here with plenty of Goblin, Frizzi and Ennio throughout. Best of all, you can download the entire 59:25 track for free from Soundcloud.

Since this site started as a soundtrack related site I thought some of you'd love to hear this. Listen below, and read on for RFLX's official write up for the project.


"And now for something completely different:

This is a mix of soundtracks and cut up samples from 70s/80s horror movies. Sometimes the used samples correspond to the music directly, sometimes they don't (but work as a comment or build some kind of a narrative frame around certain parts of the mix). Music wise there are the obvious classics but also some lesser known tracks and some variations of well known themes. No additional sounds besides the scores, samples and FX were used to create this mix. Enjoy and feel free to share this one with your friends and relatives.

Special thanks to Il Gobbo and Kim for their creative support and to Teimur for the cover artwork! teimur.tumblr.com/"


Here's a rundown of the music in the mix. I recommend listening before reading the list, it's more fun to try and figure out all of the different music as you hear it.

The Sadist With Red Teeth - Opening Credit Song

I've just got one song for this post, sorry for anyone who got excited and thought I had the entire soundtrack (which I don't think was ever released). This is the song that plays over the opening credits of Jean Louis Van Belle's weird ass fake-vampire freakout film Le sadique aux dents rouges (The Sadist With Red Teeth). The opening credits do show the composer of the music played in the film (Raymond Legrand), but not who performs this song, or what the song is called.

This is the kind of thing I usually post on one of my compilations featuring unreleased movie music - see Mummy Came In My Room or Vampire Tickle Fight (aka Amateur Vampire Chiropractory). However it takes me a while to put together one those compilations since I usually rip a song here and there and let them pile up for several months before I post them. So from now on whenever I rip a song from a DVD I'll just put it up and maybe compile them together with custom cover and ridiculous "album" title when I've gotten about 15-20. Or not, I don't know yet, for now, here's the unknown track by the unknown artist from The Sadist With Red Teeth. Bonus points for anyone who can identify the track or artist.

One thing I wanted to point out. I wanted to mention that Mummy Came In My Room should've been titled Mummy Came In My House. Embarrassingly, I misquoted the movie and I just realized right now. I planted my face in my palm and cried out "Oh!" upon realization. Oh well, if Vader's "No, I am your father." line can be misquoted as "Luke, I am your father" thousands, and thousands of times I think my Monster Squad slip up is okay.


While I'm here, I thought I'd mention that if anyone is interested, I've posted Bruno Nicolai's music from Perché Quelle Strane Gocce Di Sangue Sul Corpo Di Jennifer? over at Digital Meltd0wn.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Episode 508 Operation Double 007

This is Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode 508, featuring the Lip-Reading/Hypnotist/Doctor/Spy film Operation Double 007. This "not at all a James Bond ripoff" film stars Sean Connery's brother Neil Connery as...wait for it... Dr. Neil Connery. I didn't think it was legal to play a character named after yourself if you're not playing the character as yourself. Well, outside of a TV show, at least. For example, Drew Carey was called Drew Carey on his show even though the character was not the Drew Carey. But I don't think I've seen this in a movie before.

Still with me? Not only did they get Bond's brother, they even managed to get Miss Moneypenny herself Lois Maxwell on board - as Ms. Maxwell. What the hell? Twice? Really?

The bad news, the movie is, as you'd imagine, pretty awful. The good news, more hot broads than you can count. Sometimes dressed as cats, even, if that does something for you. The producers (and four writers) knew this film was a turd and filled the screen with as many attractive women as they could.

I've made it clear many times that I'm a Mike preferer, but I laughed my ass off at this Joel episode. A lot. This movie, while being a turd, is rather entertaining, and the MST guys seem to have really had a lot of fun with this one. I highly recommend any fan of the show grab this at once.

As an added bonus for this episode, regular visitors of the site will be excited to see both Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai's names in the opening credits of the film.

Sorry guys, Shout! Factory put this one out, links removed.

Bruno Nicolai - Il Conte Dracula

This is Bruno Nicolai’s score for Jesus Franco’s Il Counte Dracula. I honestly didn’t know about this movie until I got the score for it. I’m interested in seeing it being that it stars Christopher Lee, Klaus Kinski and Soledad Miranda. Fred Williams is also in the movie as Jonathan Harker. I initially read it wrong and thought it said Fred Williamson, as in Fred “The Hammer” Williamson. I was utterly baffled and incredibly excited at the same time. For about 2 seconds. Before I realized I was just an idiot and that it actually said Fred Williams. If only it were true, because that would’ve been some damn fine casting right there. At the very least Fred Williamson would’ve made a better choice than Keanu being cast like 30 years later in the same role. Don’t get me wrong I like that version, but Keanu always looks like he’s kinda gotta use the bathroom and he’s little confused about it everytime you see him. Maybe that’s just me.
