About this album
The Burning shows Rick Wakeman bringing prog-rock imagination to a cult horror soundtrack with eerie atmosphere and sharply drawn thematic cues. Issued in 1981 for the slasher film directed by Tony Maylam, the score moves between ominous ambient passages, dramatic keyboard-driven themes and bursts of rhythmic tension, reflecting Wakeman’s skill at turning synthesiser colour into narrative momentum. It sits alongside his best-known solo and concept work as a distinctive example of early-1980s film scoring from a major progressive-rock figure, and remains notable for giving the movie a memorable musical identity rather than treating it as background support.
