Maniac soundtrack

William Lustig's classic, ugly 1980 film "Maniac" gets the remake treatment this year in a new film featuring Elijah Wood.  The remake is shot primarily from the point of view of the killer, and looks like it could be a pretty interesting and gory fun ride.  The soundtrack to the new film comes to us from the singularly named Rob, and is a mesh of 80's synth and drone tones (an homage to the original brilliant score from Jay Chattaway).  Mondo is releasing the new soundtrack stateside (that's the cover art above), which is only fitting seeing as their first vinyl release was a reissue of the original film's soundtrack.  Death Waltz is releasing the LP (with different cover art) on the other side of the pond, and as far as i can tell, both record labels are already sold out, so you'll have to procure a copy through other means.  For now though, you can listen to album closer "Juno" featuring vocals from Chloe Alper.
