2 stars Go to hell

This official soundtrack album for the Italian horror movie La Chiesa ("The Church") features four pieces performed by Keith Emerson. These are The Church (Main Theme); Prelude 24 (From Well Tempered Clavier); The Possession, and The Church Revisited, all four of which have also been included on the Keith Emerson "At the Movies" 3CD set. Emerson's contributions add up to about 13 minutes of music all in all.

The rest of the music on this soundtrack is by other artists, including several tracks by Italian Prog band Goblin (who specialized in movie soundtracks). On their own the Goblin tracks do not stand out, but they work rather well in between Emerson's. (However, it would have been more interesting if they had worked together on the same pieces.)

Had we been spared the vocal tracks by Zooming On The Zoo and Definitive Gaze, which are both downright awful, this album would be a much more enjoyable listen. Since Emerson's contributions are by far the best here, I would recommend the At the Movies release instead.
