Holiday Music Fare

[Lorentzen / Nicklaus]

 perhaps you would also enjoy "vampyros lesbos. sexadelic dance party", a berlin 
 porno soundtrack by manfred hübner and siegfried schwab from 1969. it was 
 digitally remastered and published by 'crippled dick hot wax' in naughty-five. 
 back then it was played a lot in some of the reeperbahn bars that found 
 their rooms in former brothels. red plush and everything. to me this music 
 sounds like a 'star treck' melody remix by the early pink floyd. well,  
 somehow. here's some pynchonesque stuff from the booklet: "the countess 
 escorted me to a  baroque chamber where the air was alive with red and yellow 
 bubbles, and there she danced for me, looking like a black angel lending 
 incantantory ferment to an uncorked sparkling wine. with the skill of an 
 artisan she removed her costume piece - by - piece and used it to clothe a 
 wooden mannequin...then the mannequin sprang to life and undressed itself, now 
 revealing warm flesh underneath, the better to seduce the doctors who had 
 driven her brilliant husband to suicide, lovers whom she then killed in 
 ecstasy...and then she stripped once again, all the way dowm to her true 
 identity as jane morgan, a gun-toting agent with the british secret service. 
 overwhelmed i staggered across the oriental carpet to a fluorescent orange 
 mirror in which i was confounded to find a reflection of the late dennis 
 price." this is a playlist addition for "the royal family".

kfl //:: ps: the movies themselves were, all in the year 1970, directed by a guy 
named jess franco. the (english) titles are: "vampyros lesbos", "mrs. hyde, she 
kills in ecstasy" & "the devil came from akasava". anybody seen this stuff?
