Dead Jack and his Dry Bones

E' La Dose Che Fa Il Veleno   digital album

(Self-issued)

Having again donned his Dead Jack guise, the Bone Machine's Jack Cortese portrays this effort as a "soundtrack for a movie that doesn't exist." Were it corporeal, that flicker would be splashed upon the screen of a spectral drive-in, one populated by rubber-masked bugbears and pie-tin saucers. The architect's employ of suspenseful tension is clever. And, as is typical of soundtracks, mood is wholly imparted by instrumental contraptions: Clanks, rattlings, uncanny kerrangs, and percussive pulsations jump from around corners. The kaleidoscopic unsettlingness is magnetic.   

(The present reviewer reflects on director Ray Dennis Steckler's 1964 cult-epic: "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies.")
