Mind-reading maniac… Similar to how Les Baxter handled many of Mario Bava’s Italian thrillers for North American release via AIP, the progressive rock band Goblin crafted (mostly) new scores for two movies, specifically 1976’s “Martin” (also known as “Wampyr”) and the Australian supernatural thriller, “Patrick.” While Brian May offered a rich symphonic mix of suspense and drama, Goblin’s score was chosen by Italian distributors, who then cut 10 minutes from their dubbed version. Jazz-funk makes up most of the early tracks. Directed by the late Richard Franklin, whose deep understanding of Alfred Hitchcock’s work led to his success with the “Psycho” sequel, the film is a highly regarded thriller. Following the original was an Italian-made sequel, “Patrick Still Lives” in 1980, and a 2012 remake. The film tells the story of the titular character, who, after the shocking deaths of his mother and her lover, becomes bedridden and starts displaying strange psychic abilities, causing several unfortunate events reminiscent of “Carrie.” The album kicks off with some relaxed grooves in “Patrick” and “Bagliori Di Luce,” featuring suspenseful keyboard work and guitar that build a mysterious, escalating tension. “Metamorfosi II” takes a darker turn, with stark performances hinting at uncertainty. In line with the film’s supernatural themes, the music shines brightest when it delves into brooding tones, particularly in a second take of “Patrick,” and especially during a third version of “Patrick,” where twitchy synths create an anxious atmosphere. Wrapping up this 2001 remaster are three more renditions of the “Patrick” theme. (Many Italian soundtrack releases didn’t specify scene details in the track listings, so only the most dedicated fans of the Italian version will know where the tracks fit). The initial lounge-style approach, similar to the band’s scores for the Poliziotteschi crime genre, gives way to these final cuts, focusing on the ambiguous and deadly extent of Patrick’s powers. A must-listen for Goblin enthusiasts.

Following the original is an Italian-made sequel, “Patrick Still Lives” in 1980, and a 2012 remake. The story follows the transformation of the main character, who becomes bedridden after the shocking deaths of his mother and her lover. After being admitted to a hospital, he starts showing strange psychic abilities, leading to several unfortunate events reminiscent of “Carrie.” The album kicks off with some relaxed grooves in “Patrick” and “Bagliori Di Luce,” where suspenseful keyboard work and guitar create a growing, mysterious tension. “Metamorfosi II” becomes darker as the stark performances hint at uncertainty. In line with the film’s supernatural themes, the music works best when it’s brooding, particularly with the synth sustains in a second take of “Patrick,” and especially during a third version of “Patrick,” where twitchy synths quiver nervously. Wrapping up this 2001 remastered edition are yet another three versions of the “Patrick” theme. (Many Italian soundtrack releases didn’t specify scene details in the track listings, so only the most dedicated fans of the Italian version will know where the tracks fit). The initial lounge-style approach, similar to the band’s scores for the Poliziotteschi crime genre, gives way to these final cuts, focusing on the ambiguous and deadly extent of Patrick’s powers. Highly recommended for Goblin enthusiasts.
Fantastic sounding album, but oh my goodness, the cover art is terrible.
