Recently, I have been on a quest to find all the songs from Little Monsters. The one song that has eluded me and for the most part, every other Little Monsters fan out there is Billie Hughes' Magic of the Night. The song is a rarity because well, it was NEVER RELEASED. Along with some other songs. Beyond that song, LM has proved to have one of the more memorable collection of songs from the 80's.
Billie Hughes- I Wanna Yell
Nick Lowe- I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass
Paladeins- Let's Go
Bobby Day- Little Bitty Pretty One
Talking Heads- Road to Nowhere
The soundtrack that is on Amazon consists of David Newman's (relation to Thomas Newman???) score.
Well after months of searching, the closest I got was a downloadable file on a Little Monsters related forum. The sound is MPEG 3 Audio and it contains most of the tracks. Magic of the Night is there, but with the sound effects from the movie still in. I guess this is the closest I ever will get unless someone finds a way to extrapulate the film sounds from that track. If there's anyone out there looking for it I'll be happy to direct them to this site where I found the file.
I plan on reigniting this fire very soon...
ReplyDeleteI've also looked for the untouched version of "Magic of the Night" before, and thought it was strange it was never released. Nice to know I'm not the only one!
ReplyDeleteI remember looking for this song about 10 years ago. I remember I was in a forum that claimed to have located either, Mike Piccirillo
ReplyDeleteor Billie Hughes (I can't remember which) and said that he had the only copy and that he was going to send them a copy of the song. Alas, I watched that thread daily for over 2 years and nothing ever came of it. I think they were just trolling all of us desperate fools.
This song is so catchy I wanted more
ReplyDeleteUpdate (Sept. 2020): We MIGHT have this song in a few months.
