Complete Incomplete Soundtrack........2005-08-25

This CD is great. But also check out the Previously Unreleased Incidental Music CD at amazon.com/uk.

Goblin: Lords of Cinematic Rock!.......2005-06-25

Zombi (1979) was the soundtrack to the Italian/European release of the classic horror film Dawn of the Dead. The U.S. release featured a few tracks from this album (the rest were library music and non-licensed songs). The music is helmed by keyboard virtuosio Claudio Simonetti. A lot of synthesisers and guitars are used in this album (especially the track used in the mall invasion and end credits). Even the mall's musak was composed by Goblin! If you loved Dawn of the Dead then you'll definetely dig this soundtrack. It's a little pricey but worth every penny.

Highly recommended!

this site sucks.......2005-04-08

amazon is the worst retailor to buy any goblin or dawn of the dead music from. they repeatedly told me that the zombi soundtrack was in stock. when i tried to order it they told me they were out of stock yet their site said it was in stock for 6 months after that!
I had to order from tower.com (who are awesome!) Amazon is not a great site to order from and I am dissapointed with them.

This cd is so worth it, so don't be discouraged by this site..... serch around if you buy it.

Goblin all the way. . ........2004-11-15

Finally. . . all of the major Goblin cues for this film have been released in one tidy little package. Only complaint I have is with the cover artwork. . . I personally would have preferred something along the lines of the Italian one-sheet artwork, or even a variation on the American release artwork, but that's a minor quibble at best. If you're a DAWN fan, your collection simply isn't complete without this one.

Know what it is you're buying and you wont be disappointed!.......2004-04-04

First, this is the Soundtrack to the ITALIAN cut of the film, that's why it's (A) an ITALIAN IMPORT and (B) titled 'Zombi' as that was the Italian versions release name.
The Italian cut of the movie, available previously only on Japanese Laserdisc and European VHS/DVD but coming to R1 DVD this year, used ALL the tracks on this CD, but the US/English language European cut used only a few of the (best) tracks on this CD. The mall Muzak (Called "the Gonk") contrary to another writer, is NOT here but is replaced by the cheesy elevator-muzak 70s porn sounding Goblin version (Zombi sexy).
Secondly, Goblin WERE the only ones to compose music for the film, even the versions where not all the music is theirs. The rest of the music on the film with which most of the reviewers here must be familiar, came from the De Wolfe music Library - they were tracks chosen by Romero from this Film music Library!
Some rare Vinyl copies of this 'incidental' music by Herbert Chapell & others (The Gonk, the shopping spree music and so on) still exist (Probably forgotten in Library files), but have otherwise never been (re)released, although they will be released (With none of the Goblin stuff) later this year.
Previously unavailable tracks on this CD are a great addition - the throbbing moog-synth sequence landing on the mall roof for example, or the alternate Dawn theme played when Peter is 'executing' the Ghetto basement Zombies. If it's the haunting synth/Prog Rock Goblin stuff you want - this is it! If it's the quirky Jazz and mall muzak you are looking for you will be disappointed. For my money this is an awesome CD - very little music from low budget 70s productions has had the longevity of this material, it still sends shivers down my spine when I hear it, and although it would be nice to have it rounded off with the 'Gonk' muzak, the Goblin tracks evoke the film perfectly.

Tracks 11,12,14 & 16 do appear in the movie contrary to other writers - Segments of track 11 are used throughout the movie (Peter killing the ghetto basement Zombies), clips from track 12 are used throughout, 14 is used when landing on the mall roof "I guess the power's not off in this area!" and is one of the tracks most missed from previous releases. Track 16 is a collection of the Orchestral 'stabs' used, again, throughout the film, such as when the Titles first appear, the protagonists first look into the mall and so on.

Like Dawn of the Dead? This is the most complete collection of the GOBLIN tracks from it around, ever.

Oh and a final note from a Zombie pedant, the Zombie 'voices' aren't moog synth produced, they are various objects being dragged up and down electric bass and guitar strings.....!
