The Phantom Carriage (Limited Edition KTL Soundtrack Edition) DVD, 1921

One of the great films of the silent era. It's set on New Year's Eve, when three drunkards evoke the legend of the phantom carriage, which tells that the last person to die in the year, if he is a great sinner, will spend the following year driving the carriage that picks up the souls of the dead. One of the three men, David Holm, played by Sjostrom himself, dies at the very last stroke of midnight...

With magical special effects, Sjostrom evokes a world of shadows and crafts a tale of repentance and a love wasted through alcohol.

This version has been given a bold and thrilling new ambient doom drone soundtrack by KTL (SunnO)))'s Stephen O'Malley and Peter Rehberg). Commencing with what sounds like the very clock of doom itself, its dread tones, sonic flares and low frequency oscillations seem to incorporate the wails of the dead, and the whole builds to provide an exciting setting for Sjostrom's images to attain their full power.
