ENNIO MORRICONE – “EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC” (2021 RE-ISSUE) //Jackpot Records// (Released 9th April)

Description

£28.99 – 1xLP, Limited Edition Fluorescent Green Vinyl

In one of his first forays into big budget Hollywood, Ennio Morricone handed in one of his weirdest, eeriest scores, which later featured in Rolling Stone’s ‘Top 35 Greatest Horror Soundtracks.

From the beautiful to the absolutely demented, while still playing in the same sandbox. Once you get to the deranged Satanic prog rock of ‘Magic And Ecstasy,’ it hits you: this is the craziest we’ve ever heard Morricone. And it’s amazing.

“I like the first Exorcist, because of the Catholic guilt I have, and because it scared the hell out of me; but The Heretic surpasses it”. – Martin Scorsese.
