Klaus Schulze
Soundtrack to "Next Of Kin"
December 1982

This is the soundtrack for the movie "Next Of Kin" directed by Tony Williams, Australia. It was shown in German cinemas during the summer of 1988. Out-takes from the "X" album were used for some of the music. It was recorded before a trip to Australia at the end of 1982 in Hamburg. The film got the "Grand Prix du Festival du Film Fantastique", in Paris 1983. Also part of the track "Death of an Analogue" was used from the album DIG-IT. The film is also known as: Montclare: Rendez-vous de l'horreur.

About the movie: At the age of 24 Linda Stevens returns to inherit Montclare, the old family home run by her mother as a retirement home for the aged. Something deep in her memory seems to be triggered merely by being back in the house, where strange things start to happen: taps turn themselves on in her bathroom. The lights go out - not by accident.
Someone listens to her telephone calls. She feels she is being watched. What is going on at Montclare? As unrest gives way to mounting terror, Linda turns to her mother's diaries for answers, and discovers a horrifying correlation between the events which threatens her sanity and those which killed her mother.
There is something evil in this house... ...she should never have returned.

The music is outstanding, adding immeasurably to the creepy atmosphere. A highly recommended rarity. Some of the music is unique to this soundtrack and others are from other albums, probably more out-takes.
