Stunning vinyl reissues for film-maker Alexandro Jodorowsky’s two classic film soundtracks… Jodorowsky, the Chilean-French avant-garde filmmaker, is best known for his 1970s films El Topo and The Holy Mountain, and has been acclaimed by cult cinema enthusiasts for his work. The 1LP is 180-gram vinyl includes an 8-page booklet with new liner notes by acclaimed musician and songwriter Gary Lucas and stills from the film and 18 tracks.
The Holy Mountain is arguably the definitive work from Alejandro Jodorowsky, a visually dazzling and gloriously confounding story of the search for spiritual enlightenment.
The Holy Mountain score is every bit hallucinatory as the visual imagery in the film. Musical styles that range from deep, primordial chants, to sitar folk melodies, to blaring orchestral riffs and romantic string arrangements provide the perfect aural accompaniment to the film. Features Don Cherry.
This double LP features liner notes by New York Times contributor Eric Benson with exclusive quotes from Alejandro Jodorowsky himself and a copious number of production stills.
