Released to the grindhouse film circuit in 1980, Shogun Assassin is a martial arts East-meets-West culture mashup. Composed by Mark Lindsay (former lead singer of Paul Revere and the Raiders) and W. Michael Lewis (of L.A. disco pioneers Rinder & Lewis), the soundtrack features eastern melodies chiming out of futuristic synths and disco bass lines introduced by a child’s ominous voiceover. The film’s legendary cult status was solidified by GZA’s extensive use of snippets from the film on 1995’s classic album Liquid Swords (produced by RZA). Highly recommended for soundtrack buffs, Wu-Tang lovers, and Tarantino aficionados (who may recall Shogun’s homage in Kill Bill Vol. 2).

Isabella E. ★★★★★

The vinyl pressing is dead quiet, and the bass on "The Master's Death" really thumps through my system. I'd forgotten how perfectly the synth and guitar grooves capture that gritty 80s grindhouse vibe.

Charlotte P. ★★★★☆

I’ve been spinning this soundtrack all week—Mark Lindsay’s score really captures the grindhouse vibe perfectly. The vinyl arrived well-packed and plays cleanly, with only a slight surface noise on one track that I can live with.

Aurora P. ★★★★☆

The vinyl itself feels solid and heavy, and the pressing is clean with minimal surface noise. I was a bit surprised by how sparse the soundtrack is on some tracks, but it fits the grindhouse vibe perfectly.
