Fantasy epic directed by Alex (Cradle of Fear [2000]) Chandon, starring Emily Bouffante, David Warbeck, Jonathan Ross and Marc Lamarr. Pervirella has been described as a cross between Barbarella and Dr Who, ...Barbarella as if shot by Terry Gilliam. With a 'Rock n' roll-victorian-erotic-horror-soundtrack', and special make-up effects by Duncan Jarman and Dominic Hailstone, Pervirella's score is a vintage 60s-style, 64-piece orchestral piece that crosses 'Mike Flowers' with 'Vampyros Lesbos'.Sound engineer Liam Watson of the vintage Toe Rag Studios, recorded live in a converted convent in Islington, London. A Hammond organ, Korg 770, Ondes Martenot, glockenspiel, piano, drum kit, vocal parts and vacuum cleaner pipe digeridoos were overdubbed. Soulful Tony Moriah swung out the impossibly-catchy title song.
The soundtrack LP the film Pervirella exists in two versions.

The complete score will be available for pruchase via the LaMP Shop. The DVD is available from Amazon here (UK) or here (US).
