John Harrison – George A. Romero’s Day Of The Dead OST (1985)

February 12, 2021

This record haunted me. There’s a reoccurring motif that I just couldn’t place. It hit me after a while, it was a sample used by Gorillaz for the track “M1 A1” on the self titled record, which was the first album I really spent any decent amount of time with when I was a kid. I’ve also seen the Day Of The Dead film so I have no idea how didn’t put this together before.

Anyway, that aside, the soundtrack has that balance of spookiness and artsy pomp that I have come to love and expect from soundtracks in this vein.
