  8. EL CINE DE LOS AÑOS 70.
    EL FANTASMA DEL PARAISO (1974)
    Hay películas que parecen concebidas para romper las costuras del cine convencional, obras que no buscan agradar sino electrizar. El fantasma del paraíso es una de ellas. Brian De Palma no dirige aquí un simple musical, ni una sátira, ni una historia de horror: construye un artefacto febril donde todo convive en combustión. Ópera rock…

    Phantom Of The Paradise - Original Soundtrack Recording
    1974 Canada pressing

    Last spin of the night.

    A great soundtrack to a very weird movie.
    As a songwriter myself, I adore Paul Williams.
    As a kid, it started with “Rainbow Connection”, but as I got into my teens, I discovered this batshit fucking movie that not only STARS Paul, but was scored by him as well. The film sent me into a deep dive of Paul’s songwriting, and exposed me to just how brilliant he is.

    It’s a very odd movie, and so are the songs, and not everybody is a fan. I can’t explain why it made such an impression on me as a teenager, or why it’s stayed with me all these years, but it’s essentially MY Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    But I fully understand why people hate it. 😂

    I’m just not one of those people.

  27. New #review today: "#PaulWilliams’ interests with #ChurchOfHed lie in relating real-world experiences and concepts into music, and like Rivers of Asphalt, which followed the old Route 66, and The Father Road, which took the listener on a coast-to-coast journey on the old Lincoln Highway, Under Blue Ridge Skies takes another #RoadTrip, though a much shorter one, on the Blue Ridge Parkway." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic expose.org/index.php/articles/
