Five Thousand Spirits is a collaboration project from Italy,

founded by Stefano Musso (Alio Die), Raffaele Serra (Talharion) and Claudio Dondo (Runes Order, Atom Infant Incubator).
Their first album, "A Tapestry For Sorcerers" was released in 1995 by Sempiterna Mutatio,

mainly consisted of low drones and evocative mystical synth layers, reminiscent of the Runes Orders style.
After this album Claudio Dondo quit the group, and Five Thousand Spirits became the duo of Musso and Serra.
A second album was released in 1999 entitled "Mesmeric Revelation", with a more minimal and meditative sound.
The duo returned in 2006 with two albums, "Schwarzschild Radius" and "Quantum Consciousness" 

both characterized by an electronic vitality and a style reminiscent of the 1970s cosmic music.
From 2007 to 2014 three more albums were also released by the project.

Altered States is a 1980 American science-fiction horror film directed by Ken Russell

based on the novel of the same name by playwright and screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky.
The film was adapted from Chayefsky's only novel, published in 1978, and is his final screenplay.
The film follows the experiments of a psycho-physiologist with drugs in a sensory-deprivation tank

and his visions that he believes are genetic memories.
Both the novel and the film are based in part on John C. Lilly's research conducted in isolation tanks 

under the influence of psychoactive drugs like mescaline, ketamine, and LSD.
Altered States marked the film debut of William Hurt and Drew Barrymore.
Chayefsky withdrew from the project after disputes with Russell and took his name off the credits, 

substituting "Sidney Aaron," his actual first and middle names.
The film score was composed by John Corigliano (with Christopher Keene conducting)

and was nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Original Score and Best Sound Mixing.
John Paul Corigliano (born February 16, 1938) is an American composer of classical music.
His scores, numbering over one hundred, have won him the Pulitzer Prize, five Grammy Awards, 

Grawemeyer Award For Music Composition, and an Oscar for his score for the film The Red Violin (1998).
He is a distinguished professor of music at Lehman College and the Graduate Center of the City University Of New York

and on the composition faculty at the Juilliard School.

2. To Elide Something 06:24

Lavra was an atmospheric/doom/post/rock project from Finland

that was created from the progression of the band Sceptical Schizo.
Sceptical Schizo was created in 1988 as a death/thrash band and from 1989 to 1991 they released four demos.
The band was constantly searching for a more original and personal sound and in late 1991,

with the addition of a second guitarist, they recorded four tracks of atmospheric doom/death metal.
Two of these songs (Into The Suction Of Blue / Withdrawn) were released as a self-produced 7" vinyl EP in June of 1992.
The remaining two songs were offered to some labels and in late 1992 the Italian Wounded Love Records

agreed to publish them as a 7" vinyl EP entitled "The Plight", a release that saw the light of day in early 1993.
At the same time they decided to change their name to Larva.
As Larva the band moved one step forward with their style

and in 1995 they released the album "Bluenothing" on the Finnish Demonosound label.
The track "From The Suction Of Blue" was also a remade version of the Sceptical Schizo track "Into The Suction Of Blue".
After the release of the album the band for unknown reasons was disbanded.
In 2019 two of the remaining members of their old line up decided to resurrect Sceptical Schizo

and released the EP "Aggressions" with their style nowadays moving towards thrash metal territories.

Nothing was a side-project of Jason William Walton (Agalloch, Sculptured, Especially Likely Sloth etc.)

like Don Anderson and John Haughm (also members of Agalloch),

Michael J.V. Hensley (Yen Pox, Blood Box), Nihk Ryan Loiacano (Self Spiller, Snares Of Sixes, Climb To Zalem).
The band was created in the mid '90s and since then they released four albums,

various compilation appearances and a few limited releases as well as a handful of live performances.
Each release exploring a different theme, a different style and a different approach,

and never being content with what they have achieved.

Jason William Walton decided to end the project in 2008.

"Hercules In The Haunted World" (Italian: "Ercole Al Centro Della Terra", lit. "Hercules At The Center Of The Earth")

is a 1961 Italian sword and sandal (aka peplum) film and the second official directorial effort of Mario Bava.
British bodybuilder Reg Park plays Hercules while British actor Christopher Lee appears as Hercules' nemesis Lico.

Shooting at Cinecittà, director Mario Bava used some of the same sets

from the earlier "Hercules And The Conquest Of Atlantis" which had already starred Reg Park.
The film started a short-living subgenre of films trying to combine the peplum genre with horror/gothic elements.

Films considered belonging to this subgenre include Riccardo Freda's "The Witch's Curse"

and Sergio Corbucci's and Giacomo Gentilomo's "Maciste Contro Il Vampiro".
The soundtrack of the film was composed by Armando Trovajoli (also Trovaioli, 2 September 1917 – 28 February 2013),

an Italian film composer and pianist with over 300 credits as composer and/or conductor,

many of them jazz scores for exploitation films of the Commedia all'italiana genre.

Trovajoli collaborated with Dino Risi, Vittorio De Sica, Ettore Scola on a number of projects

and was also the author of several Italian musicals.
Digitmovies in 2006 released for the first time the complete original motion picture score that is characterized

by innovative sound experiments that almost anticipate the colors of later psychedelic era in the decade.
