Nocturnal Emissions - Cathedral - VINYL LP

Featuring liner notes by Rob Simonsen. For the first time on any physical Mutant, in partnership with Hollywood Records and Marvel Studios, is proud to present the premiere physical of Rob Simonsen's score to the blockbuster event of 2024, Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine. And hold on to your chimichangas because this limited edition physical includes the physical media debut of showstopping InchLike a Prayer (Choir Version).Inch The tonal balancing act of the Deadpool series is a tightrope to walk - a meta action-comedy with tons of heart and even more vulgarity. Luckily, composer Rob Simonsen rises to the challenge, scoring the highly anticipated third chapter with well earned confidence. Equal parts explosive and emotional, Simonsen's debut superhero score is electrifying, occasionally heartbreaking, but always emotionally honest - just like the titular characters.

(Invocation of the Beast Gods) is a well-paced and deftly layered collage based on location recordings of night creatures - bats, owls, foxes, insects and sea animals. Like many of Nocturnal Emissions' previous recordings, it combines natural with synthetic sounds in a wholly musical blend. The key to the success of this disc is it's rhythm. Every sound has it's own looped pattern (many of the sounds are looped), and when these different but complimentary patterns are combined, a dense and enticing aural landscape emerges. This is not empty new age music, meandering, slapdash sound collage, or low-budget field recording, but a meticulously laid out and painstakingly arranged musical environment.

Vinyl LP pressing. The Ethereal Mirror is the second full-length album by British doom metal band Cathedral, originally released in May 1993.
