About this album
Phantom Of The Paradise is a cult 1974 soundtrack that fuses Paul Williams’ melodic pop with glam rock, horror and stage-show spectacle. Written for Brian De Palma’s film, the songs give the story its bite and emotional pull, turning a dark satire on fame, vanity and exploitation into a genuinely catchy musical. Williams’ compositions, performed by a cast that includes his own voice among others, move from sly showstoppers to aching ballads such as “Old Souls” and “The Hell Of It”. The result is one of the most distinctive film soundtracks of the 1970s, admired for its invention and enduring cult following.
