Inspector Mark Terzi, who is acting incognito under Mark Patti, gets hired in Rome by terrorists Paul Henkel (John Steiner) and Olga Kube (Marcella Michelangeli). His mission leads him to Vienna without knowing what it will be. With his austrian colleagues and the shady US Agent Altman (John Steiner) Terzi tries to discover the planned attack. After a murder attack were he should have been and isn’t by accident he realizes somebody plays wrong. Shortly after the terror attack with Terzi ´s participation is taking shape…..    

The third installment in the (incoherent) „Mark“ series from director Stelvio Massi and probably the best of this short lived series. The Massi attributes like great action, fine camera and a solid story are coming to perfection in this film. The solid police thriller story does also include a political context exceptionally played by John Steiner and Marcella Michelangeli covering the political Zeitgeist with the RAF and Brigata Rossa. 

The story is set in Rome, Vienna and Mailand and was also shot on original sets. Leading actor Franco Gasparri plays a strong lead and is greatly supported by John Saxon, Paul Muller and the two Terrorist Leaders Steiner and Michelangeli. 

Completed by a typical and very fine Stelvio Cipriani score.

Vietnam 1973 – a combat squad has to leave back one of theirs in a special mission.

USA 1986 – a secret mission does bring the Brothers in Blood back together – hostage rescuing in Guatemala. Terrorist leader is their former brother in arms. Tough and relentless Bo Svenson as Sergeant Steven Elliott called „Steel“. The storyline being set to Latin America puts „Brothers in Blood“ solidly into the then-zeitgeist. The mix of genre motifs is a perfect comment on the vanishing decade of action-packed war films in italian cinema.

OVERVIEW

Prog doom drummer du jour Andrew Prestidge branches out into the field of electronic music with his solo synthesizer project MORLOCK!

After several years spent holding down the drum stool with legendary doom metal acts Angel Witch, Electric Wizard and Warning – not to mention the prog rock bands Zoltan, The Osiris Club and Suns Of The Tundra – Andrew sat down with his keyboard collection, a 4-track recorder and a selection of sonic screwdrivers to create a new kind of music.

The space-rock jams contained on ‘Ancient Paths’ are influenced as much by retro synth artists Kraftwerk, Heldon, Tubeway Army and OMD as they are by the sci-fi soundtracks of John Carpenter and the folk-horror that seeps into every corner of the British Isles. Andrew’s previous experience in live-soundtracking silent films (performing at Stewart Lee’s ATP Festival with Suns Of The Tundra to a 1919 film detailing Shackleton’s expedition to Antarctica) and reworking vintage horror scores with Zoltan guide the expansive, all-instrumental melancholy of the record. Acoustic guitars, analog synthesizers and electronic percussion coalesce into a retro-futurist soundscape for the mind’s eye.

Many of the songtitles reference occult literature and cinema: Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (‘Rotwang’s Furnace’), Phantasm (‘Morningside’), H.P. Lovecraft’s Colour Out Of Space (‘Blasted Heath’), the comics of Jack Kirby (‘Kirby Oberon’). The band name itself is a nod to H.G. Well’s classic 1895 novel ‘The Time Machine’.

The Wind in the Willows recast for the 22nd century? Quatermass and the Pit relocated to Summerisle? The music of Morlock bridges the past and the future, re-imagining both into a blend of electronic perfection.

RASHOMON „Ashcan Copy“ (Cine 21) coming in October!

Posted on by

RASHOMON – ASHCAN COPY – FILM MUSIC VOL. III (CINE 21) LP & CD

RASHOMON are back with a wonderful release worth your cinematic ears! This fine album will be out on 180g Vinyl (300 copies on bone/orange mixed colour and 200 on solid black Vinyl) and as a CD edition in Gatefold Cardboard sleeve. 

Out in October, exact release date tba. 

Originally issued in 2011, Ashcan Copy is the third instalment in Rashomon’s Film Music series of LPs. Cineploit Records is proud to present this re-release, and to introduce the 

record to a wider audience than the 150 lucky souls who snagged a copy of the ultra-limited initial release on Hlava Records.

Active since 2009, Rashomon is the solo project of Matt Thompson, also of Cineploit mainstays ZOLTAN. This is his second release on the label under the Rashomon name, 

following 2014’s LP/DVD extravaganza The Cameraman’s Revenge: Film Music Vol. 4 (Cine 09) – the final release in the Film Music series to date. 

The previous edition to this, 2009’s The Finishing Line: Film Music Vol. 2, had focused on re-creating the psychological mind-state of the wilder end of 1970s British public information films. By way of change Ashcan Copy is presented as an album of soundtrack cues fromfilms that were, for one reason or another, never released. The films, hailing from Italy, Japan and the USA (among others) supposedly date from the 1950s to the 1970s, and were (according to the extensive sleeve notes) exactingly sourced from film archives across Europe. In reality, all the music is self-composed. The eight tracks include elements of noise, folk, psychedelia, prog and noir-jazz within their elaborate constructions, created with a panoply of instrumentation including Mellotron, zither, home-made percussion, Fender Rhodes, harmonium, MiniMoog and more. Delicate and sensuous, heavy and oppressive – the record negotiates these musical contradictions while retaining a single-minded pursuit of strangeness and surprise.

Having finally found its spiritual home on cinematic specialist label Cineploit, Ashcan Copy can at last be heard by all.
