Description
One of the ironies of the career of Chilean-born filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky is that while he is best known as a visual stylist, his most avid and loyal champions have often been musicians. When Jodorowsky arrived in New York from Mexico City in 1970 carrying a copy of the then-unreleased El Topo, it was the jazz producer Alan Douglas who bought the distribution rights to the film. When Jodorowsky and Douglas were looking for a venue in which to screen El Topo, it was John Lennon and Yoko Ono who asked for it to run at midnight following their short-film festival at New York s Elgin Cinema. After six months of sold-out midnight screenings at the Elgin, it was Lennon s manager, Allen Klein (ABKCO s founder), who bought the rights to El Topo and agreed to produce its follow-up, The Holy Mountain. And when Jodorowsky wanted, in his words, another kind of music something that wasn\'t entertainment, something that wasn\'t a show, something that went to the soul, something profound, for the soundtrack to The Holy Mountain, forward came jazz legend Don Cherry and crack studio musician (and one-time Archie) Ron Frangipane to share composing and (along with Jodorowsky) conducting duties. And, boy, did they deliver the score to The Holy Mountain is every bit as hallucinatory as the fantastic visual imagery in the film itself. Every one of the 24 tracks on the film s soundtrack presents another vertiginous twist in the philosophical and spiritual journey that is The Holy Mountain.\nNow, Real Gone Music, in association with ABKCO Music & Records, Inc., presents for the first time ever on vinyl, the original soundtrack to Alejandro Jodorowsky s 1973 masterpiece The Holy Mountain. The CD gatefold double-LP edition features liner notes by New York Times contributor Eric Benson that include exclusive quotes from Jodorowsky himself, festooned with copious production stills.
