In 1958 he even topped the Hit Parade with the manic \"Hoots Mon.\" But to horror aficionados, Robinson is best known for his work with Hammer Film Productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Robinson first saw footage from\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwins of Evil\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehe was struck by the scenes of Gustav Weil (Peter Cushing) and his witch-finding Brotherhood thundering through the countryside on horseback. Soon after, he began composing a score inspired by spaghetti westerns.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwins of Evil\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas shot from March to April 1971. The previous year the age restriction for the \"X\" certificate had been raised from 16 to 18. This relaxation, combined with Hammer's recent assimilation of independent producers Harry Fine and Michael Style, led to some relatively extreme film-making for this early part of the decade. The potentially risqué scenario of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwins of Evil\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis fairly restrained, at least in comparison to previous Fine and Style productions such as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Vampire Lovers\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eLust for a Vampire\u003c\/em\u003e, but the film clearly belongs to a more violent and sexually explicit era of Hammer horror. It's therefore entirely appropriate that Robinson's music occasionally lacks the delicacy of Hammer scores from previous decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNevertheless, there is memorable and evocative music here: the epic main theme combines the rousing spirit of Morricone's Westerns with a doom-laden percussion that anticipates Weil's fanatical puritans. The supernatural element finds an unsettling accompaniment in the cue written for the resurrection of Mircalla. Director John Hough was at his most inventive in the scenes featuring an certain incriminating mirror, and Robinson's score underlines the impact of these visuals with see-sawing violins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobinson's juxtaposition of genres may seem unorthodox, but the strident and melodic result helped define\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwins of Evil\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eas the quintessential Hammer horror of the early 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree panel fold out pop up sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harry Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53774250606957,"sku":"lvr1787249434718","price":9.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0526\/9869\/files\/twins-of-evil-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-cd_1.jpg?v=1787249441","url":"https:\/\/www.ruralgoods.shop\/products\/twins-of-evil-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-cd","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
