From My Cold Dead Hands is my first mix album posted online. Inspired by Dark Side of the Mood, I’ve put together a collection that includes Zombie Zombie, Giorgio Moroder, The Emperor Machine, Wooden Shjips, Map of Africa, and John Carpenter to create a surreal 80′s synth horror soundtrack to a film that should never be made.
If you want more in that vein, I recommend the following mixes: Arctic Beach and Quiet Village‘s “Fragments of Fear Drowned in Blood”, volumes 1 and volume 2
Find more crazy cold electro-synth at Simply Good Music and ValerieCherie, but also read this article at The Guardian about cosmic disco and why this type of music is having a resurgeance.
Download TheScrapBook‘s own From My Cold Dead Hands here. (If it’s not in the right order on your playlist, don’t panic, just hit shuffle for your very own alterna-soundtrack.)

yo. you need to sort the properties of those track so they run as an album / compilation, at the moment they just come up as separate track in itunes. had a quick flick through, some ace!
btw – that quiet village mix is brilliant!!!!!
heavy…
Properties will be fiddled with and ammended later today. Meanwhile, hit shuffle and make your own soundtrack with the collection of freak-out beats.
amazing mix btw. had this on a lot recently.
