49. Suspira: Goblin


An instrumental track in 3 movements, this is apparently a song from the soundtrack to Dario Argento's horror movie Suspira, which apparently is some kind of big deal I had never heard of (but which is now in my netflix' queue, albeit 175 movies (and thus about 4-5 years) from actually getting to me.

As for the song, the first 150 seconds sound like what a horror soundtrack is supposed to sound like: the repetitive, suspenseful, higher octave work dominating. The song launches into a middle section that is clearly a chase sequence before returning to the suspense, this time with foreboding chanting coming to the foreground.

Great soundtrack song. But I wasn't watching the movie.

Rating: 45

OK with it: N
