1. GENE PAGE BLACULA

    The overblown ham horror of Chi Sei has gave me a bit of an itch, I guess.

    I first came across Gene Page on St Etienne’s The Trip with his song ‘All Our Dreams are Coming True’, from the stunning and rare 1974 original album Hot City. All Our Dreams are Coming True is as good as song as you’ll get and nods to a man completely mastering his craft- yet, as is too often the case, the artist is never given the proportionate attention merited.

    His soundtrack to Blacula is hysterical satire, backed up with some of the best worked songs ever released on a film score: the range of theme is prodigious; from camp giggle (There He is Again) to lush melancholia (Finding Love Losing Love).

    Heavy Changes gives you a kiss with a closed mouth from the opening bar.
