The Omen OST - Jerry Goldsmith's brilliant score on splatter vinyl! You've been warned!

Jerry Goldsmith's diabolical sounding score for The Omen. It's always had a reputation for great sound and music, and I was dying to get a copy in my collection. This recent reissue, which I had hoped to review for Halloween, finally was released in December! The record is not my first colored vinyl pressing but it is my first two color splatter vinyl pressing, in this case blood red with black splatter! An original score for the film, including the movie's theme song "Ave Satani", was composed by Jerry Goldsmith, for which he received the only Oscar of his career. The score features a strong choral segment, with a foreboding Latin chant. The refrain to the chant is, "Sanguis bibimus, corpus edimus, tolle corpus Satani", Latin for, "We drink the blood, we eat the flesh, raise the body of Satan", interspersed with cries of "Ave Satani!" and "Ave Versus Christus" (Latin, "Hail, Satan!" and "Hail, Antichrist!"). Aside from the choral work, the score includes lyrical themes portraying the pleasant home life of the Thorn family, which are contrasted with the more disturbing scenes of the family's confrontation with evil. According to Goldsmith's wife, Carol, the composer initially struggled with ideas for the score until one evening when he suddenly, happily announced to her, "I hear voices", referring to an orchestral chorus or choir.
