I ...That's OK, Rich. Thanks for your reply. :)<br /><br />I really like the Beausoleil score for 'Lucifer Rising'. It's not at all obvious (given the subject matter), and covers a lot of ground tonally. I think he carefully avoided cliche (for the time) and definitely composed per Anger's intentions. <br /><br />I agree that one can very happily watch Anger without any reference johnny6666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16749738500273163297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-16122089436050466062012-02-14T14:02:37.910+00:002012-02-14T14:02:37.910+00:00johnny: Where are my manners?

I bel...Nice to see Anger covered! Thanks, Rich. :)<br /><br />I believe 'Invocation' was cobbled together from material initially intended for 'Lucifer Rising' (as, according to Anger, at least, Beausoleil stole much of the completed footage, forcing him to effectively release a 'short'). <br /><br />It's certainly an effective film, and does make some sense if one johnny6666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16749738500273163297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-2269143740089883602012-02-13T23:56:59.829+00:002012-02-13T23:56:59.829+00:00Excellent piece Rich!Excellent piece Rich!Mikehttp://www.videotapeswapshop.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-21084891408278013772012-02-13T06:08:10.917+00:002012-02-13T06:08:10.917+00:00I always assumed that Beausoliel played both roles...I always assumed that Beausoliel played both roles, as the dual aspects of both Lucifer and Mars but having just watched it again, closely, its obviously not the same person.I remember reading that Beausoliel composed the Lucifer Rising whilst in prison.

He has always been a favorite study of mine. <br />But I felt I should point out one major discrepancy . Bobby Beausoleil is featured in Lucifer Rising as the one of the Egyptian gods. With his long curly dark hair and handsome face he resembles Jim Morrison a bit. He also did the soundtrack for the film.<br /><br />The Albino guy in "highwaykneeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458606266831050852noreply@blogger.com
