Praised by Quentin Tarantino as one of the greatest films from Australian New Wave cinema, 'Next Of Kin' (1982) was a highly stylised psychological thriller in the bloody tradition of European art-Horror. Scored composed by ex-Tangerine Dream/Ash Ra Tempel drummer and German electronic music pioneer Klaus Schulze. The music featured in the film was a unique hybrid of pulsing Giallo-moods and hypnotic Berlin-School electronica. It is true that Schulze composed an original full-length soundtrack for 'Next Of Kin', although for editorial reasons the complete score was rejected at the last moment by the filmmakers in favour of using pre-existing tracks from Schulze's studio albums. The final soundtrack consisted of partial elements of this rejected score together with various pieces of early '80s Schulze recordings edited.
