The soundtrack to Channel Four's "Utopia" TV series is almost as disturbing and compelling as the programme itself!

I had to settle for the CD as the 2 disc ultra desirable ultra bright yellow vinyl release seems to be only given out as prizes to UK residents only. (C4 and The Guardian competitions). The programme was visually stunning with its graphic novel style and I loved the "incidental" music from the start. This is wonderful electronica and if you've seen the series the snatches of dialogue bring you right back into it. I'd recommend both the TV programme and the soundtrack.

Time I started listening to my vinyl horror/gothic collection again starting with this little beaut. Long after the film is forgotten about and many of them are dire, the music thankfully, and usually, are their saving grace. However here's one that trumps on both counts. Made in 1983 and featuring the music of Schubert, Bach and Delibes plus original music from Rubini & Jaeger. No never heard of them either.....




Image

IMDb
Miriam, a centuries-old vampire, preys on urban clubgoers with her vampire lover John. When John suddenly ages and wastes away, Miriam casts her spell upon Sarah, a doctor who researches premature aging. This neo-Gothic exercise in style and atmosphere is perhaps most widely known for a lesbian sex scene involving Miriam and Sarah, played by Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon.
