LP version. Splatter vinyl (edition of 500). The original orchestral/electronic score from
Karel Kachyna
's 1976 Czech film adaptation of
Hans C. Anderson
's
The Little Mermaid
, composed by
Zdenek Liska
(
The Cremator
/
Fruits of Paradise
) featuring
Lenka Korinkova
. Liska's legacy in the history of European cinema is huge in volume but relatively modest in its celebrity having already composed nine scores for Kachyna's films to add to his 1976 filmography of 150 completed soundtracks.

for the first time, folklore and fairy tale fanatics around the globe celebrated the 200-year anniversary of the birth of one of the world's most celebrated children's authors of the published era.

, first published November 11th, 1843, and the bittersweet surrealist tale of
The Little Mermaid
, printed in the third booklet of the first volume of
Eventyr, Fortalte For Børn
(Tales, Told For Children) in 1837. One of the most idiosyncratic and haunting undiscovered scores in the annals of European cinematic history, Liska's forward thinking score has all the hallmarks of a
Broadcast
record, some 20 years before the band first committed sound to vinyl. Beautifully remastered from the original mastertapes with the full cooperation of the seminal Barrandov Studios in Prague.
