MORTUARY MUSIC MADE FOR MOURNING!

"This CD is not one to play in the dark. It is just plain creepy, and sounds exactly like what you hear down at the undertaker's parlor. It's a combination of weird stuff played on organ, piano, and harpsicord, by somebody who calls himself Dead Ernest, and he must be, because this music is like out of the cemetery. It's perfect for Halloween, haunted houses, or funeral services, and might be used for monster movie music themes. If you're looking for spook stuff, you found the right CD."
MAUDLIN MUSIC FOR MORBID MOURNERS

"What we have here is just the sort of thing your neighborhood mortician might enjoy programming into his parlor. The stuff FUNERALS are made from, and just really creepy. Some of the music, like Black Gardenias, is really beautiful, yet morbid at the same time. Other things, like Cemeterial Burial or Theme for Dead Earnest, are right from a horror movie. Some of these compositions (er, DE-compositions!) are reminiscent of Dracula or Frankenstein title themes. "Dead Earnest" is credited as the musician on this CD who plays a Hammond organ, grand piano, and harpsichord. I think it's him on the CD cover, and if so, he is definitely DEAD. If you're into grave music, this is your cup of tana. I am, so it is. I VERY highly recommend Music For Dead Things. No doubt a lot of dead things will agree with me."
THIS CD MAKES YOU THE LIFE OF THE FUNERAL!

"There's nothing "grateful" about this dead! Music for Dead Things is just that - slow, somber, spooky stuff to creep everybody out whether you're having a seance, a spook show, or a very laid-back funeral (is there any other kind?) Some of the music includes "Black Gardenias" - it starts out with the death march - "Theme for Dead Earnest" (the walking dead who supposedly plays all this stuff and is featured on the CD cover!), and "Cemeterial Burial", a perfect piece for any memorial service! If you're dead when you listen to this stuff it will raise you, and if you're not, when you hear "Fetid Fugue" or "Final Resting Place", you'll wish you were! Perfect for a dark and stormy night. The organ, grand piano, and musty old harpsichord set the mood. All you have to do is provide the casket & corpse!!!"
