 Finders Keepers Records originally presented Andrzej Zulawski’s previously unreleased electro / orchestral / experimental score for his surrealist 1980s horror classic, ‘Possession’, in 2012 as their maiden voyage into an expansive vat of unreleased music by Polish composer Andrzej Korzynski.
 These 25 cues were written and recorded exclusively for the
1981 award-winning film starring Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neil,
but due to the progressive, stark and modernist nature of the
finished film, less than half of them made it on to the actual
director’s cut - leaving many of the tracks on this package
totally unheard outside of Korzynski’s studio.
 The intended ‘Possession’ score in its entirety marks an
important axis in Korzynski’s career, where his various musical
disciplines overlap. In one respect it marks his first forays into to
synth driven electronics and disco drum machines, while other
tracks epitomise the well-honed techniques used in previous
Zulawski scores, such as ‘Third Part Of The Night’ and ‘The
Devil’, which rely on his inimitable orchestral arrangements and
combination of clavinet, Rhodes, piano and electric guitar.
 Available once again on vinyl, for the first time since its original
release some 11 years ago, Finders Keepers’ ongoing
commitment to the important restoration of Korzynski’s music
aims to shed new light on the seldom manufactured productions
of the composer whose vast cinematic catalogue warrants
overdue global status alongside other golden era Eastern
European composers such as Kryzstof Komeda, Jan Hammer
and Zdenek Liska - not to mention the best of the French and
Italian soundtrackers, such as Roubaix, Vannier and Nicolai.
 Duplicated and carefully remastered directly from Korzynski’s
original master tapes, this album boasts the uninhibited studio
experiments and retains the pre-cut ambience.
