Hil again!. Today I bring you something extra, an album that I should have put on years ago but that I could not locate until recently. This is a special contribution to Kubrick's fans and "shining" lovers like me.
This the second part of the promised shining trilogy.This time they are the mixes that were made for the film, some finally rejected, but which almost ended up being the original soundtrack released in 1980.
For this reason it is structured on two sides with a length intended to be presented in an LP;but following the order of inclusion in the film . Much of this material was used in the film, but other was unpublished such as: "The Gold Room / Heartbeats and Worry".; "The Ballroom Medley" or "Bloody Elevators":
For the first time is show the original soundtrack reconstructed after Stanley Kubrick rejected that of Wendy Carlos and Rachel Eldkind, made with excerpts of contemporary classical music by: .György Ligeti; Bela Bartók or Krzysztof Penderecki.
In addition, the original titles of how they were to be named in that lost album are shown.
