The Horror Of Lucio Fulci



Today I present you with with a CD called LUCIO FULCI'S HORROR & THRILLER which was released by Beat Records (catalog code CDCR 21) in 1993. This is a compilation of music from various films by Italian film director Lucio Fulci. The musical selections here include material from "A Lizard In A Woman's Skin", "New York Ripper", "House By The Cemetery", "Manhattan Baby", "The Beyond", "Demonia" and "Door To Silence" along with a special recorded message by Lucio Fulci himself (both in Italian then again in English).

I originally ripped this using EAC (Exact Audio Copy) to the FLAC audio format then I used foobar2000 to convert the FLAC audio files to MP3 files. I used LAME 3.98.2 with the "-b 320" setting which basically creates a 320kbps CBR MP3 file which is the highest quality MP3 that can be made. I have included the LOG and CUE files from EAC so that you know the ripping was done correctly and of course this facilitates burning back to a standard music CD if you so wish. I also threw in a M3U playlist file.

Also included in the download are high quality TIFF images of the CD artwork along with smaller JPG images (as seen here) plus I embedded the smaller JPG image of the CD cover into each track so that you get a nice thumbnail image on your software/hardware player.

  2. Usually I don't really go for compilations which take a few songs from various soundtracks but from the first moment I heard this album back in the mid-nineties when a friend taped me a copy. I was blown away with how much it flows and underneath all the different tracks there is a strange current of connectivity as though Lucio Fulci transmitted a certain quality to the various individual composers.
    I have been hunting for a copy of the CD for ages and while I found a 192 rip a couple of years ago, this version blows it out of the water quality wise; its great to hear these tracks with such clarity, many thanks for this.
