Surf Nazis Must Die

John McCallum's great electronic score for the 1987 Troma Entertainment film "Surf Nazis Must Die" was issued on vinyl a few years ago (actually, almost ten years ago). I watched the film for the first time recently and immediately searched down the soundtrack. This is the first official release of this material in any format (there have been bootleg versions floating around for decades). Strange Disc Records did an excellent job working with McCallum to produce the ultimate vinyl edition of this soundtrack, which, if you're not familiar with it, is very much in the vein of Tangerine Dream or John Carpenter . https://www.strangedisc.com/ And, yes, I am a fan of 70s and 80s electronic movie scores. I can't say the same for the synthwave genre which those scores have inspired in more recent years. I'm not writing off all of synthwave, mind you, I just find it's pretty hit and miss. - W.A.Davison
