All single track ePm Mixes Re-upped Here

Thanks for all the requests for the re-ups. Here is the full Eros Plus Melody collection in single track form. I will get the split tracks up at some point, but that will take a little longer. Of course, many of these mixes are unbelievably already 10 years old and the bit rate in many cases needs an upgrade. At this point in my life, I'm not sure I'll ever get around to that. But there's always the hope! Enjoy these anyway. Best, HPD.

Forsaken Housewife, Midnight Lady (Original Soundtrack) [1980]

Soundtrack to the 1980 Japanese Pinku film directed by Akira Kirafukwa about a bored and neglected housewife who indiscriminately sleeps with strangers for the thrill of it, causing her husband great public shame and ultimately leading to his attempt of seppuku, only to be intercepted by his infidel wife at the last minute, leading to great arousal and a renewal of the couple's carnal interests.

RE-UPS

 There have been a lot of requests for re-ups, but I am unwilling to check each link to see whether it is alive or not.

If you have specific requests for dead links to be re-upped, please write them in the comments.

Summer Sorority (Soundtrack to the Adult Film)

Summer Sorority (1983)

Directed By: Tom Pumphrey

Anyone who thought the girls of Sunnydale High were going to take a summer vacation were dead wrong because this foursome who just can't get enough are intentionally failing winter semester so they can stay over the summer and pound their high school teachers! Woohoo!

The girls' plot is soon foiled the first afternoon into the summer semester when they team up on Mr. Pitts in English class. The four girls are very conveniently the only students to have failed winter semester so it's game-on in the classroom as the girls work together in each and every scintillating scene throughout the film.

The girls are so hot-to-trot that merely a week into summer semester, they've so mercilessly pounded all their teachers that the principal, Mr. Riggs, has had to call in reinforcements in the form of substitutes. When they need to be replaced, Mr. Riggs resorts to all-female teachers. But even that fails to stop these horny girls!

Great film that should be mentioned in the same breath with many non-adult films of the early '80s and in this writer's opinion, roundly shafted by not even receiving a single adult film nomination for 1983. Also with a smoking soundtrack. 10 Stars out of 10!!!

Naughty Secretaries (Soundtrack to the Motion Picture)

Naughty Secretaries (1982)

Directed By: Tom Pumphrey

The men of the Law Office of Girth and Young are in for a surprise when a trio of hot young secretaries are hired on...

Naughty Secretaries fails to possess any kind of coherent narrative, but where it fails in plot, it excels in over-the-top sex scenes, for instance when star actress Cherry Kisses makes her adult film debut by being pounded mercilessly on the top of a Xerox machine, leaving a basketful of black and white images of her bottom in her wake. Trixy Hall passes the firm's introductory interview in a wild threesome by engaging her new boss and his female assistant atop a very expensive looking mohogany desk. Dotty May bursts onto the adult scene by accosting a retirement-aged janitor in his work closet, proving these girls just can't get enough.

Overall, a poorly written and fairly forgettable script containing several red hot sex scenes with a stunning cast of ladies, and including a grooving soundtrack. 8 Stars out of 10.

Cardiologie Department De Mort (Eros + Massacre 4)

Film Title: Cardiologie Department De Mort
Director: Rémi Archambeau
Country: France
Release Date: 1981
Runtime:1 hr, 37 min

This is the only known film by the flamboyant director Rémi Archambeau (1954-1981), a never-commercially-released and mostly unknown masterpiece of the French horror genre. The real-life story of Archambeau's tragically short life and grizzly death is enough to make the blood boil, and although his life would make for a fascinating discussion, this entry will focus on his film and the accompanying soundtrack of his Cardiologie Department de Mort.

The film itself is like no other, shot with a precision and directorial flair rarely seen, and it is no leap to suggest Archambeau was well ahead of his time in terms of his approach to cinematography and storytelling. If not for his untimely passing, we might be speaking of Archambeau alongside the likes of Jodorowsky or Bunuel. Unfortunately, only a single reel-to-reel tape of his only film exists, archived in a movie theater in Archambeau's birthplace, Saint-Brieuc, a commune lying on the shores of Brittany in France. The film is ceremoniously unearthed once every decade, on October 31st, to shock and amuse the townspeople of the Saint-Brieuc commune.

Based on a true story, Cardiologie Department de Mort tells the story of a real-life heart surgeon from the city of Rennes, Dr. Gerard Gorin and his assistant and lover, Angélique Lefevre. The two manufactured a killing chamber within the confines of the cardiology department of Renne's now demolished Hospital de la Croix Rouge, where hidden from the watchful eye of the hospital's related departments, dozens of unassuming patients were tortured and mutilated in the most ghastly fashion between 1976-1980. Out of respect for the dead, and to honor the sanctity of the lone copy of this film, this review will not go into the details of the film itself.

But much can be said of the soundtrack, which is one of the greatest ever compiled. Hand-picked from the vast French, Italian and English music libraries by Archambeau himself, the result is a cacophonic wall of sound: actual and musical heartbeats, soundscapes of hospital operating machines and instruments of torture, and brilliantly interpreted electro-instrumentation that invites the listener into the bloody chambers of Dr. Gorin's cardiology department. It allows one, if one dares, to visualize the slow and deliberate tortures of Dr. Gorin's terror chamber. The soundtrack is intended to bring discomfort to the listener, and at this it vastly succeeds; but there is also an underlying melodic melancholy that infuses a unique beauty into an otherwise grim subject. Rhythmic heartbeats, real and interpreted, morph in and out of musical machinery, guiding the listener through a horrifyingly alluring tapestry of electronic beats and sound.
