Original scores to Norman J. Warren's '78 and '79 low budget horror flicks 'Terror' and 'Prey' composed by Ivor Slaney.
One of the first things to strike you is that this is a quintessentially English horror soundtrack, with a slightly more reserved brand of menacing drama that you generally wouldn't find in the brilliant but often garish Goblin scores to the films of Dario Argento, which directly inspired 'Terror'.
The first half of the disc devoted to 'Terror' displays an unusually lo-fi and minimal electronic sound from Slaney who is better known for his full blown orchestral scores, but manages to refine his craft for a lean and tense accompaniment to the film. 'Prey' follows this with a spectacularly uneasy and sinister score, full of minimal minor key synth moods interspersed with dramatic funk, arcane pianos and one nugget of folk soul featuring Genesis backing singer Val McKenna.
Expired.
