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.

Claudio Simonetti - Opera

Here is the soundtrack to the Dario Argento film Opera, or Terror at the Opera as it was known on the US VHS release. One of my favorite Argento films, and also features one of my favorite death scenes, as morbid as that sounds to say. If you've seen the film you know which scene I'm talking about, it involves a peephole and a phone, and it is awesome. I ripped this myself from the CD that was included with the Limited Edition DVD put out by Anchor Bay Entertainment. I hope you enjoy my emo-tastic font I added to the image above. It's cool because you can't really read it. That's how the kids like their fonts these days.

Claudio Simonetti was responsible for the music in the film, but the soundtrack does feature two bad Grim Reaper-like metal songs by Steel Grave, one called Steel Grave, and the other called Knights of the Night. Knights of the Night, which apart from having the dumbest title I've ever heard, also features a blatant ripoff of the main riff of Iron Maiden's 2 Minutes To Midnight. I guess Steel Grave was an usigned Italian band who was around at the time the movie was being made because I can't find any information at all on them.
