Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former Tangerine Dream member & Michael Hoenig (The Wraith<\/b>, and the superb Dark Skies<\/b>) crafted a clever little score using deep, resonating synths and actual brass instruments for his slow-oozing narrative about interstellar pink goo gradually wreaking hell on a small town.<\/p>\n

From the ambient tones arise metallic sounds and sampled vocals like a miasma, hovering before some classic shock stab, and by the score\u2019s finale it\u2019s a snarling m\u00e9lange of weird brass figures, and layers of electronic textures that splatter and screech.<\/p>\n

Amid Hoenig\u2019s original cues are remnants of the film\u2019s temp track (“Sleeping Pill” blatantly grabs major melodic material from Jerry Goldsmith\u2019s Capricorn One<\/b> love theme), but it\u2019s a minor quibble with an otherwise fun B-movie score written with an obvious affection for vintage drive-in fodder.<\/p>\n

Few of Hoenig\u2019s scores exist on CD, making this limited expanded and remastered disc mandatory for fans of vintage electronica.<\/p>\n
