One day, this album will be regarded in the same realms of John Coltrane Giant Steps, Pink Floyd Dark Side and The Beatles Sgt. Peppers, it is a monolithic masterpiece of sonic exploration, the likes of which had never been conceived before.

I love Clive Barker's writing and unique themes of horror, he's like no other, the film adaptation did it's best for it's time (1987) yet it doesn't quite capture the full scope or feel of the book, "The Hellbound Heart". The movie does sag in the middle somewhat but the beginning and the end are horrific yet mesmerizing and provocative to the point of feeling like Clive himself had truly tapped into a sinister reality of another dimension just parallel with our own, something so disturbingly dark it seems genuine. It would have been far darker and better if it had the original score composed by COIL; I asked Clive about that score one time I met him, why he didn't go with it, and he said that score with the movie was far too frightening for it's time, so he opted for a more subtle score for the sake of wider theater distribution.
