DESCRIPTION:
1983 Prog Rock LP Re-released for RSD 2017 30x30cm insert with images of lobby cards and posters of the film. First reissue on vinyl with 3 additional tracks. Clear acid green vinyl.
This 1982 score from Goblin represented just how much their sound had changed their mid-1970s beginnings: their grasp on creating an atmosphere through sound remains strong, but their approach is gentler and more electronic-oriented than earlier, more frenetic albums like Profondo Rosso. Although Notturno is the score for a thriller, the casual listener could be excused from not recognizing this: the guitar-driven main theme has an energetic sound that makes it feel like a modern update of the "James Bond Theme," but other numbers like "Landing Strip" and "Helicopter (reprise)" are romantic, saxophone-dominated mood pieces whose sound borders on easy listening. The musicianship is high and the music is well produced, but too much of the album's material is the kind of background music that simply doesn't have much effect unle

(There are multiple artists named Goblin)
1. Goblin is an Italian progressive rock band known for their soundtrack work. They frequently collaborate with Dario Argento, most notably creating soundtracks for Profondo rosso in 1975 and Suspiria in 1977.
The group was initially named Cherry Five. Influenced by Genesis and King Crimson, their early work spawned one eponymous progressive rock record. The band changed their name to Goblin when they were called in to compose the soundtrack for Profondo rosso, rewriting most of the score originally written by Giorgio Gaslini, including the famous main theme. The film, and the soundtrack album, were huge hits.
A reshuffle in their line-up followed, and then an instrumental progressive rock album Roller, before they got the chance to work with Argento again for Suspiria. The score's nerve-jangling experimental sounds and bizarre vocals have since become legendary. Other film soundtracks and a concept album (Il fantastico viaggio del bagarozzo Mark) followed, then the score for the European version of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978).
Despite their success, more members of the band left. The line-up was altered again, but this time they struggled to maintain their credibility. What was left of the band continued to work on further soundtracks, but there was a partial reunification for Argento's Tenebrae (1982) (although they were credited separately, not as Goblin).
In 2000, the group reformed to score the new Dario Argento thriller titled Non ho sonno (aka Sleepless). After over 22 years of absence, their return was spectacular. The soundtrack was a great success and showed the group could still compose after such a long time apart, much to the fans delight. Since that time the group has again been disbanded, amid disagreements during the production. Nevertheless in 2005, the official Goblin biography written by Giovanni Aloisio was released and an official website called Back to the Goblin. In 2007, Goblin recorded the soundtrack for Argento's follow-up to Suspiria and Inferno, titled La terza madre (aka The Mother of Tears).
They also recorded under other names, including Il Reale Impero Britannico.
Claudio Simonetti, one of Goblin's original founders and keys player, has since formed his own band under the Goblin name and continues to tour much of the original music from the band.
2. Goblin is a band originally from Punta Arenas, Chile. His music, depressive and dark, is inspired by the cold and desolate places of the southern Patagonia, and in the even darker corners of the human soul. His lyrics and music are created by Jaime Bustamante, also founder of the progressive death band, Infernal Doom.
3. Goblin is an American YouTuber who uploads a wide variety of videos on his YouTube channel. He primarily creates and uploads informational and educational content that document his experiences with substance abuse. He shares these stories to discourage viewers from abusing substances, by showing what the reality of his lifestyle at the time was like.
Goblin launched his YouTube channel on May 23, 2013. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
