Hypnotic, sinister, minimal, and with just a stuttered chill of sterile, sci-fi futurism—I’ve always thought Cronenberg got very lucky during his low-budget days to discover and license such a stylistically fitting track of stock library music for his 1977 horror production, Rabid. [Source]
Five library tracks which were used in David Cronenberg’s Rabid from 1977.
Track 1 is HIDEOUT by Brian Bennett from the KPM library record KPM 1157 The Hunter / Drama Suit from 1975.
Track 2 is SCREAM by Brian Bennett from the KPM library record KPM 1157 The Hunter / Drama Suit from 1975.
Track 3 is VULCAIN by Claude Vasori from the library record Energie (MPI/LP 541) from 1972.
Track 4 is HIDEOUT (Shock) by Brian Bennett from the KPM library record KPM 1157 The Hunter / Drama Suit from 1975.
Track 5 is SUMMER’S COMMING by Keith Mansfield from the KPM library record KPM 1175 Love’s Theme from 1976.

William S. Burroughs: A Man Within is a feature-length independent documentary by Chicago Director Yony Leyser, in collaboration with BulletProof Film, Inc.
The film features never before seen footage of William S. Burroughs, as well as exclusive interviews with his closest friends and colleagues including John Waters, Genesis P-Orridge, Laurie Anderson, Peter Weller, David Cronenberg, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, Gus Van Sant, Sonic Youth, Anne Waldman, Hal Willner, James Grauerholz, Amiri Baraka, Jello Biafra, V. Vale, Diane DiPrima, with narration by actor Peter Weller and soundtrack by Patti Smith and Sonic Youth.
The film investigates the life of legendary beat author and American icon, William S. Burroughs. Born the heir of the Burroughs’ adding machine estate, he struggled throughout his life with addiction, control systems and self. He was forced to deal with the tragedy of killing his wife and the repercussions of neglecting his son. His novel, Naked Lunch, was one of the last books to be banned by the U.S. government. Allen Ginsberg and Norman Mailer testified on behalf of the book. The courts eventually overturned their decision in 1966, ruling that the book had important socialvalue. It remains one of the most recognized literary works of the 20th century.
William Burroughs was one of the first to cross the dangerous boundaries of queer and drug culture in the 1950s, and write about his experiences. Eventually he was hailed the godfather of the beat generation and influenced artists for generations to come. However, his friends were left wondering, did William ever find happiness? This extremely personal documentary breaks the surface of the troubled and brilliant world of one of the greatest authors of all time.
