Stelvio Cipriani "Piranha 2-Les Treurs Volantes" OST General Music 1982 RIP @320K


   Here is Stelvio Cipriani's excellent score to the 1982 Horror film sequel to Piranha.  This forgotten film was directed by, of all people, James Cameron (Aliens,Terminator,The Abyss).  In this film the scientifically altered piranhas can now fly and get ya through your window or whatever supposed safe place your chillin.  The real massacre happens when all the tourists are awaiting the yearly Spawning on the beach only to be slaughtered by a militia of flying piranhas.  Ridiculous fun this movie is but the soundtrack is very dramatic and beautiful.  The best composition is repeated here 3 times in, "Profondo Sinfonico","Profondo", & "Theme From Piranha 2".  But I do also enjoy the beauty of "Escape To Paradise".  This version was released in France specially for a Science Fiction Festival in Paris and is very rare and hard to grab.  So enjoy this gem from one of the Italian greats and check out the film on youtube, it features an early performance from horror legend, Lance Henriksen.     Thanks,Chris Tillotson        GET IT HERE!

  1. Very good soundtrack. I got this as an extended version from a first time ever on cd.
    But want to hear the difference if any.
    Thanks a lot.

  2. What an awesome cover! The artist's depiction of the piranhas as angry, pissed off carnivorous butterflies is definitely a grabber!

    As I've never heard this soundtrack, or seen the film, this will be a real treat. Thanks for posting this up for us Chris!

    1. Yeah this cover is so dope. I also love the way they look in the movie as well, 80's horror is the best.

  3. Thanks! The crappy, 2010 version of this movie was on TV just last night. I remember seeing the original and this, part two, when I was a kid and it scared the crap out of me!

    1. Your welcome! I agree like most modern remakes that the 2010 version is crap. The originals are still part of the reason I'm scared to go in the ocean. HAHA
