The final three pieces, entitled 'Volk Spin Off V1', 'Volk Spin Off V2', and 'Volk Spin Off V3', respectively, are each snippets of bending noise. It’s one minute and six seconds of rippling drone and unfolding melody. Here, piercing jabs of strings battle as they are layered atop one another for forty-nine seconds before a quick fade ends the track. 'Unused Spell' is another promising song that falls victim to an early death. Ambient needs time to define itself and this track was aborted too quickly. It’s a good way to start a song, but then it cuts off at a minute and twenty-six seconds. 'Unmade Overtones', the record’s opener, sees Yorke layering sounds and drones, gently applying pressure at certain points to build a sensation of drama. Unfortunately, most of the songs on this release don’t hold up. Questionable sales practices have nothing to do with the music. It turns out that vinyl only is open to interpretation. On the album’s release day, Suspiria: Unreleased Material was accessible on all major streaming services. In this case, however, the terms were dishonest. They inject a sense of urgency into the wallets of potential customers. Words like exclusive and strictly limited are effective for sales.

The release was billed as a 12” exclusive and strictly limited to 1,500 copies.

When pre-orders went live on The Vinyl Factory’s website, a bullet-point explicitly advertised the music as “Available on vinyl only”. It was an accusation that is not without warrant. There was some controversy with the roll-out. They started taking pre-orders on what was promised to be a 7-track album of unreleased materials from Yorke’s original Suspiria sessions. It’s a great record, and a few months after the album’s release, in early January 2019, The Vinyl Factory and XL Recordings revealed to fans that there was more on the way. Lush pieces of orchestration sweep throughout and give the soundtrack unity and beauty. Piano melodies worthy of the best ‘80s slashers stalk around dark corners of electronic noise. Fabio Frizzi influenced drama dances through much of these tracks. He moves beyond his regular music and melts traditional horror devices to his compositions. And yet Yorke doesn’t simply settle into his comfort zone. The album isn’t beat-heavy, but when the drums roll in, they have a distinct Radiohead flair. The songwriter and multi-instrumentalist was reluctant to join the project at first, but he eventually gave in and developed one the best albums of his career.įor the soundtrack, Yorke called to his proven signatures his falsetto voice, his preferred electronic palette.

And he switched-out Argento’s house band, Goblin, with Radiohead frontperson Thome Yorke. Guadagnino took themes from Argento’s movie, but made drastic changes to shape the film to his own vision. Luca Guadagnino’s remake of Dario Argento’s 1977 classic, Suspiria, is very good.
