THE NEWTON BROTHERS Vinilo y CD

Review: Created and directed by Mike Flanagan, The Midnight Club is a hit original Netflix series with a soundtrack by The Newton Brothers that now gets its own vinyl release thanks to Waxwork Records. It comes across four sides of gatefold orange and purple swirl vinyl and is a tasteful mix of orchestral and synth sounds that are coated in eerie ambient cues packed with emotion and darkness that embody the modo of the film which centers around the stories of eight terminally ill people who all live at the Brightcliffe Home hospice centre.

Review: If you've yet to catch up with the story of Danny Torrance, the young boy with special powers who wound up being tormented and almost murdered by his father, Jack, after the latter went mad in the remote and closed-for-the-season Overlook Hotel while working as winter manager, then we do recommend Doctor Sleep, the long-awaited sequel to landmark horror classic The Shining. However, it's wise to heed this warning: don't expect the same level of excellence this time round, or indeed the same type of movie.

Part two is arguably at its best when it slips into a similar vein as its predecessor, with eerie quiet and these subtle then intense builds of tension. That doesn't happen too often and the narrative is far more fantastical than traumatic. In contrast, the score itself - delivered by The Newton Brothers - does serve comparable purposes to the first. A masterclass in atmospheric white noises, shimmers, broodingly menacing noises and suggestions of fright.
