Fan Favorites 9: Songs That Go Bump In The Night

Comments

MrWondrous David Beckwith

Ooh this looks to be fun. I don't like to be scared either. I do not do adrenaline. I do natural exuberance. Gonna go listen. MrWondrous has an album of Halloween sounds and songs on Bandcamp, who I think makes pork-n-beans. BRB Nice salad! I forgot how great Phil was on "The Lady Lies". Gentle Giant was genius from the gitgo. The Floyd was largely improvised. I know because Ummagumma was one of my first albums, and used by Eugene on the family piano. He only alluded to that original melody right at the beginning. The studio version is worth a listen too.

Mike Harding

I'm surprised Home By The Sea didn't make the choice list.

Randy Hammill

“The Lady Lies” is from “…And Then There Were Three,” the first album without Steve Hackett, thus the first as a trio. Most of the solos are keyboard solos because Mike Rutherford wasn’t quite comfortable with playing a lot of lead guitar yet. It’s probably one of Phil’s best drumming albums too.

Jose Kuhn

If you are going to select Jerry Goldsmith, his Omen score, which won him an Academy Award!!!!

Randy Hammill

Roger’s scream on “Careful With That Axe, Eugene” is done by inhaling instead of exhaling. You’ve heard a fair bit of it on “Animals,” but it’s been in various Floyd tunes from the beginning. It’s really based on dynamics and the length varied from night to night. You didn’t mention it, but many people miss David’s singing with his soloing, both before and after the scream. My favorite performance that is available on video is Amougies in 1969: https://youtu.be/kiaFPgFWJDM

from Gentle Giant you should pick Spooky Boogie

The Black Queen

I so wish you did the studio version of Death On Two Legs, this one was really poorly recorded any you lose the studio magic of the vocal harmonies.

The Black Queen

That vocal style that Roger Waters does in Careful With That Axe, Eugene is called Ingressive Phonation, and that just means he's breathing in while vocalising his screams. I can also perform it and it's actually a lot more comfortable than you might think. You can get a lot of really cool sounds with ingressive phonation if you really practice with it.

Richard Plante

Another great reaction, by the way, the “Heckling” at the beginning of Boris The Spider was not coming from the crowd. That was Keith Moon the drummer razzing John.

""Little old lady got mutilated late last night", man that just rolls off the tongue.

Richard Plante

Tidbit about “Careful With That Axe Eugene” The original working title when it was still an instrumental, was The Murderotic Woman

Joseph Maurone

Came for the Pink Floyd, but stayed for the POLTERGEIST. So glad you did this! I already liked the soundtrack, but became more musically interested in it when I watched a documentary about Claude Debussy that pointed out his influence on Jerry Goldsmith in ALIEN, which made me hear the Debussy influence in the POLTERGEIST score; "Prelude to the Faun's Afternoon" comes to mind. (Plus, it's is my personal favorite horror movie.)

Joseph Maurone

Doug's not too far off the mark with his POLTERGEIST speculation about the kids...when Tangina remarks "To her, it simply is another child, but to us, it is the Beast."

Joseph Maurone

For context: "Careful, With That Axe, Eugene" was originally called "Murderistic Woman (or, by other accounts, "Murderotic Woman"). It was originally intended for the soundtrack to Peter Sykes horror movie THE COMMITTEE.

Tom V

Careful with that Axe Eugene also had 2 other names. On the Zabriskie Point soundtrack, it was re-recorded and called "Come In Number 51, Your Time is Up" and on the Man and Journey (from the Early Years), it was called "Beset by Creatures of the Deep"

Jeff Norman

This version of "I Put a Spell on You" isn't very spooky, true...but check out Screamin' Jay Hawkins's original. A *bit* more creepily intense!
