Editorial Reviews

The nine instrumental pieces on this 1972-vintage blaxploitation soundtrack are everything you, Quentin Tarantino, or yo' mama could want: funky, slick, exquisitely dated. Thank then-ubiquitous arranger Gene Page, who arranged and wrote them. Program your CD player to avoid the excruciating--perhaps appropriately so; Blacula was a horror flick, after all--vocal numbers that fill out the set. The Hues Corporation give no hint that their masterful "Rock the Boat" was just a couple of summers down the chronological road, while the 21st Century Ltd.'s subsequent disappearance is absolutely no mystery. --Rickey Wright

One of the best movie sountracks of all time!.......2007-07-05

Let me preface that when Blacula was released, I wasnt even born. I just recently rented Blacula and its sequel "Scream Blacula Scream" While watching Blacula, I immeditaely got into the film, and more importantlly the various music that played during many of the filmes scenes. Some of the songs guage the emotional scale. For example, after listening to "Finding Love, Losing Love" I started to feel sorry for this murderous creature. I belive ths CD is out of print now. You can buy it here on the marketplace, but it wont be cheap. I managed to find it new on ebay for 10 bucks.

Awesome but TOO SHORT!!.......2003-08-03

This is an OUTSTANDING cd and easily one of the best Blaxploitation soundtracks. The instrumentals have all the elements you expect from a good funk soundtrack. It's got the great beat, the big bass lines, and that big horn sound! "Stalkwalk" is incredible and "The Call" is a beautiful slow tempo tune. The vocals are pretty weak with the exception of "There He Is Again." The problem is that most of the tracks are under two minutes in length. You end up wanting so much more. I would love to hear an extended version of these tunes if there was one. Very short cd but outstanding musical quality! EVERY instrumental is great! Check it out!

How 'bout some cheese with your blood soup?.......2001-08-23

Loved the instrumentals (which take up most of the CD), but for the most part the vocal tracks are amateurish and pretty cheesy. No hard funk in the mix, but plenty of choppy and groovy action tracks...even some creepy suspense tracks toward the end! I'd have given this album 5 STARS if it weren't for the barely-listenable vocal tracks, which I usually just skip altogether when listening to this CD. The rest of the album is HIGHLY recommended for BLAXPLOITATION and HORROR soundtrack collectors alike...

"It's worth it".......1999-11-19

Blacula is a classic in its own right, and the music is fantastic. The Hues Corporation "There He is Again", "What the World Knows", and "I'm Gonna get you" are in themselves worth the price of the CD. The 21st Century Limited "Main Chance" is great. "The Call" is superb, being just like an instrumental "Main Chance" But let me just say the whole album is a gem, with that 70's disco beat. It's a miracle this is on CD sountrack. Get it now and "look the other way when he come by you!"
