72. Epileptic Peat- Horror Suite


From The Album Ghost Notes

The Exorcist
Friday The 13th
Hellraiser
Halloween
Candyman

It is no secret that Epileptic Peat is related to me by blood and we did have to share a room till we were both in middle school. It is also no secret that he is a co host on my famous movie podcast/blog Out Of Commission. It is also no secret that this blog is new, not famous and is read by tens of people, so there is no reason to play Nicholas Nepotism. Through all of the rearrangements Epileptic Peat has done with television intros (90210,Quantumn Leap, Night Court) video game backdrops (Marble Madness, Dr. Mario, Jurassic Park) and movie scores (Batman, TMNT, Cannibal Holocaust), I have always enjoyed the sounds of classic horror themes. One of the first solid incantations of the horror theme was his first "horror suite" released on Ghost Notes in the fall. The very long and complex medley runs through the obscure and popular sounds of well known films from the late 70s to early 90's spliced with dialogue samples. It is fair to mention this song and the popular culture arrangements are only a fraction of the work epileptic peat does, but damn, this is an amazing song. The sound is raw and minimal and sounds like a tribute from a frenzied horror enthusiast who mixed mastered and recorded this in a sweltering Brooklyn apartment.
