Description

Artist: ‘Vampires of Dartmoore '

Title: ‘DRACULA'S MUSIC CABINET’ Label: Metronome Records (PS 008) Sleeve: EX- Record: EX- (No punch hole as is common with all copies!) Year: Original 1969 German pressing, not a reissue! Notes: German jazz/library musicians Horst Ackermann & Heribert Thusek’s incredible, dark foray into the world of eerie samples & spine-chilling funk. An album whose rarity is as scary as its whole thematic & musical conception. A serious collector’s piece. ‘Dance of the Vampires’, ‘Crime & Horror’, ‘The Fire-Dragon of Hong Kong’, ‘Dr Caligari’s Creeps Cabinet’, ‘Frankenstein Greets Alpha 7’, etc. Always in demand, classic kraut, beat. This is the movie soundtrack to a film that never existed. This is the movie soundtrack by the band that was never requested. These were the sound library musicians who had to invent their own clients and imaginary cast, crew and plot to get their music heard, by a niche audience, before floating deep into the depths of the rare record reservoir gasping for breath. To take a cinematic cue the record in question is the euro-trash-Pop equivalent of Jean Renoirs tragic / triumphant Boudu character who as a homeless, confused and desolate down-and-out plunged to the depths to be unwillingly rescued, resuscitated then after gradually winning the hearts of an entire family becomes respected and revered as royalty. Over 20 years after the mad scientists, Dr. Horst and Ackermann, first breathed life into this short-lived beast, brave and intrepid vinyl explorers have sporadically returned to the doors of 'Dracula's Music Cabinet' to resurrect the sonic spooks and mutated melodies to share with nerds, mods, rockers, Hip-Hoppers, Psych-nuts and Kraut-siders alike.
