Things To Come (1976)

Here are a couple of goofy promo photos for a 1976 sci-fi/sexploitation film that I recently found in Austin.  It looks so low-budget it almost hurts.  Magus Film Group was a San Antonio, Texas outfit (more info about Magus at Temple of Schlock).

I dig the font, at the very least.

Here's the color poster, via Wrong Side of the Art:

And an advertisement, care of Temple of Schlock (which gives a clearer indication as to what the film is actually about):

The Cosmic Bicycle (1972)

I*HATE*THIS*FILM's Vimeo channel is a source of many wonders.  As a fan of collagist Sätty's work, I was pretty excited to experience IHTF's most recent upload, The Cosmic Bicycle (1972), with art and design by Sätty and an early electronic score by Parasound, inc. a.k.a. Beaver & Krause.

Some screenshots:

The film is available for viewing and download at IHTF's aforementioned Vimeo site:

I'm drawn to the mix of the sinister and the whimsical (epitomized by the theme that accompanies shots of the bicycle as it makes its cosmic journey).

There's a new mix available at my Mixcloud page.  It's been in the works for some time now. It's at least a little bit magic, I think.

A foggy dock in the early hours of morning. A dark shape begins to emerge from the mire. A sea creature? A human? Or something in between? Is it friend or foe? Can we ever really be sure?

A mix inspired by the call of the sea, from whence we all originally came. A sea that can sometimes soothe us, sometimes scare us.

A suitably atmospheric vintage photo found in a curio shop in Brighton, May, 2012.  My friend Stephen spied it first, but i was more than happy to pluck it from his reject pile after he made his final purchase choices.
