The Raven soundtrack uses lots of dissonant chords mixed with electronics for an unusual but scary mix! Lots of humorus parts as well since this was background music for a Roger Corman horror/comedy film. Very interesting indeed! The Edgar Allan Poe stuff is REALLY scary. I listened to it while rummaging through my records and was sure glad the lights didn't go out in the basement. It would have freaked me out! Damn, I love Les Baxter!! Cheers and Mahalo, Jeff
