Marc Wilkinson - Blood On Satan's Claw (OST)

Long awaited and very limited repress of this legendary British cult horror score from 1971. Written by Marc Wilkinson, former director of music for the National Theatre, the soundtrack takes its lead from the descending chromatic scale which omits the perfect fifth (the only true consonant in the chromatic scale) and therefore highlights the diminished fifth, which ever since the middle ages in Europe has been known as the ''Devil's Interval''. Musical appearances from the Ondes Martenot (the earliest electronic instrument) and Cimbalom add to the overall spookiness of this recording. In al these years the music has lost none of its depth or addictive, evil hooks.
