As we told you earlier this week, Cadabra Records has given new life to Fabio Frizzi‘s iconic score for The Beyond with a brand new vinyl release, dubbed the “Composer’s Cut.”
Now up for grabs, the “Composer’s Cut” includes 52 unused pieces of music originally composed for the film, and we’re serving up one of those new tracks today.
Listen to Zweick’s Torture – M1-M5 and learn more below!
In an interview published in 2019 horror soundtrack book Blood on Black Wax: Horror Soundtracks on Vinyl, Frizzi explained the process of building this new cut:
“The definitive mix of a movie is a difficult matter in which [everyone’s] ideas flow and where the director has to create the right balance under his artistic view. For the new composer’s cut, I found my old notes taken with Lucio and many of the scenes that I newly scored contain the original, unused music cues…It is basically a new reading of that movie. I tried to do the work imagining Lucio sitting beside me. The true Beyond is always the one dated 1981, but I hope this new one will be a pleasant experience for all of those who loved that one.”
The Composer’s Cut marks the first studio recording of the score heard the way it was intended, unearthed and uncut.
Cadabra presents The Beyond: Composer’s Cut as a deluxe double LP pressed on 160-gram colored vinyl. The label is renowned for their high quality, deluxe packaging, and The Beyond promises to be one of Cadabra’s best releases to date, housed in a deluxe heavy weight tip-on gatefold jacket, newly commissioned artwork by Jeremy Hush based around the movie’s key character Schweick (the artist accused of being a warlock), as well as a 4 panel foldout insert, an 11’x11’ insert, a huge 24’x36’ poster, as well as exclusive liner notes by Fabio Frizzi himself.
Two different versions are still available. Head over to Cadabra’s website to grab yours!
