Catalog #: SBR-3008
David Lynch’ Eraserhead rests firmly at the top of that canon of American underground culture for which there is no genre. A staple of the dark underbelly of popular cinema that was originally only viewable at arthouse screenings or on the Midnight Movie circuit, Eraserhead is a truly unadulterated offering; and much of its sensation lies beyond the purely visual realm. The stark, dusty black and white images put forth are caked with and submerged in a dense jungle of industrial hums, buzzes, screeches and screams. Eraserhead is a narrative made up of two intertwined veins: one of bleak and beautiful pictures elegantly painted in gray and black; and one of blankets of sublime, enveloping noise and static, the tinkering of Fats Waller organ rolls echoing in the background.

To lay in the dark and listen to this dizzying succession of blissful noise is a different way to get “lost” in the vast space of then the visuals of the film itself. It’s no stretch to consider this soundtrack an experimental, early industrial masterpiece. Eraserhead’s individual passion and personal tone shines through even in the thickest moments of fierce static, an audio undertaking that took Lynch and sound designer Alan Splet years to perfect. Though Eraserhead’s most famous piece of music is undoubtedly Peter Ivers’ unforgettable, oft-covered haunting ballad “In Heaven,” and the most exciting attribute of this edition of the soundtrack is no doubt its expansion; during the process of transferring the audio tapes, an unreleased recording from Ivers was discovered. It had not been heard since it was originally performed, over three decades ago. After working for years to expose and foster the dark, brooding sounds that exist in the current underground, nothing could make us more proud than to share with our audience this, a new look at one of our most cherished influences; the soundtrack to David Lynch’s Eraserhead.

I couldn't name a more out there film.Bonkers!!!

Bonkers is right John :) I only ever saw about twenty minutes of it and that was enough! But Alan R. Splet is the real star here. Amazing and, of course, unmusical. But that's not the point, is it?

On vinyl....an old classic revisited. To those of you who really know your electronics there's no need for me to to expostulate on this absolute stunner. Took me by complete surprise all those years ago as I was not expecting something this good. Good old Andy G from the fabled Lotus Records alerted me to it's delights back in the day as he did with the likes Popol Vuh, Roedelius, Cluster etc etc Now there's a man who never led me astray....If you're reading this Andy, thank you.

Three classics from the old school. From a man who has done more damage to the Tangs past glories than any other member! Remember him this way....though the first one was lambasted on release and rightly so....but it's not as bad as I feared. A single Lp would have sufficed though the stunning photography on the inside gatefold by his wife Monika more than makes up for any shortcomings in my book :)

Nils Frahm, Wintermusik... nice and mellow.

I not a huge fan on his piano skills though he's undoubtedly a maverick. But....I love his take on the pump organ especially over on side two. As far from mellow as you can get :)

Wow! Thanks for that John! The only artist I recognise is Kyle Bobby Dunn. Right, I'll have to switch on the laptop as this thing's (iPad) no good for downloads :)
