Four Flies Records is an Italian label which “rescues golden age soundtracks from oblivion,” and we here are MYNTH are thankful for it! This release is a 7-inch record by Italian saxophonist Gianni Oddi (in Italian) which blends a grimy funk with easy/cheesy/sleazy listening grooves. This will definitely appeal to Continue Reading

Oleg Karpachev – Sputnik (Dir. Egor Abramenko) O.S.T.
I have never heard of Oleg Karpachev, a Israeli soundtrack composer, but thanks to the fine folks at the legendary Cold Spring Records, I can spend this day blown away by this soundtrack which melds together Hans Zimmer and In Slaughter Natives in some fashion. From the label’s Bandcamp site: Continue Reading

From the release’s Bandcamp site: “People On Sunday is Continue Reading
Michał Urbaniak – Decadence – (Soundtrack Album)
Though this disc was released in 2014, this long-forgotten soundtrack has the sound of something from the 1980s. Michał Urbaniak is, of course, in fine form here, and it’s good to see he’s releasing a lot of material, both new and archival, on Bandcamp.
They Came From Hell – Osteotome
There are two very short tracks on this release by They Came From Hell, one of the many fine side projects of composer Philippe Gerber, but the music is so oppressively dark are foreboding that it would make for stellar soundtrack music.
William Ryan Fritch – Cohesion
William Ryan Fritch’s lastest disc is the, “second in a three-part series reflecting on the many calamitous water crises affecting life on this planet.” Cohesion is a bit darker than the previous album, Polarity, but there is a more organic feel to it. From Fritch’s Bandcamp site: “In contrast to Continue Reading
