Notes
Here we go! The one we've all been waiting for! This is the previously unreleased incidental music used in George Romero's classic zombie movie Dawn of the Dead.
We all know and love the Goblin soundtrack that was used for all the music in the European cut of the movie (and portions of Romero's version), but this CD finally brings us the other incidental music that Romero used for his worldwide version.
All the music on this CD/LP is from the De Wolfe, Rouge and Hudson sound libraries and appear together for the first time ever due to the tireless efforts of music and movie nut Joel Martin who's spent the last 7 years digging in the dusty crates of the aforementioned sound libraries offices in search of this elusive music.
It's an eclectic collection of music that makes for an interesting listening experience - from the carnvialesque-zombie-madness shopping mall muzak that is The Gonk (why do we always seem to dance funny when this track is played?), to the dark orchestral sounds of Cosmogony Part 1, through 'Cause I'm a Man (the track playing when the rednecks are taking out the zombies with a laugh an' a beer) and the twisted electronics of Figment, it's all good stuff and now means you can call your zombie soundtrack collection finally complete!
The artwork for the front cover is taken from the Belgian Dawn of the Dead promotional poster. Nice.
The Gonk is currently being used in the cinema adverts for the (new UK zombie-comedy movie) Shaun of the Dead.
