ALBUM REVIEW
This is the hugest release ever engineered by Black Widow Records! It's divided in 3 cds (or 4 Lp) featuring 41 bands for a total running time which goes beyond three hours. The rules are simple: each band chooses a movie it's particularly fascinated by, and composes a song gaining inspiration from the movie. The musical styles range from high class prog-space rock in HAWKWIND's "this is Hawkwind Sonic Attack", ARCHITECTURAL METAPHOR's "The Maker", ADRIAN SHAW's "Silent Running" or ALAN "THE ELF" DAVEY's "monster from the Id", to the psychedelic moods in STANDARTE's "La Donna di Latta", SUN DIAL's "The Prisoner's Theme", FANTASYY FACTORYY's "Raumpatrouille", to more modern and experimental interpretations in CANDLEMASS's "Planet of the Apes", MALOMBRA's "Children of the Invasion", DEATH SS' "La Voie Lactee", UNIVERSAL TOTEM ORCHESTRA's "Lacrima di Tempo", PAUL CHAIN's "Twilight Zone" to the dreamy ambiences of MALLEUS's "Tiamat", QUARKSPACE's "The Soylent Factory" and KREL's "Track Thru Space"….and it's not all!! "Not of this Earth" is also a book which enhances the three cds in a SPECIAL DELUXE PACKAGE, written in Italian and English and containing articles on cinema, literature, culture linked to science fiction, with a special section dedicated to sci-fi made in Italy. Ominous names collaborated to the book, such as writer Valerio Evangelisti, Luigi Cozzi, Gaetano Mistretta and directly from PRISONER FAN CLUB Roger Langley who wrote a great article about PRISONER!!..and many many more…..
