However, if you took a trip back to the 1970s you'd see that the Chilean polymath's reputation was nearly as large as it is today. After years working in theater he released his second feature film, \u003ci\u003eEl Topo\u003c\/i\u003e. The acid western became a cult classic and drew in fans from all over the world, including \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.mom\/search?q=John+Lennon\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Lennon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, who thought very highly of it, and convinced the president of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.mom\/search?q=The+Beatles\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Beatles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e' company \u003cstrong\u003eApple Corps\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAllen Klein\u003c\/strong\u003e, to distribute it in the United States. In addition, Klein agreed to give Jodorowsky $1 million to work on his next film. The outcome was \u003ci\u003eThe Holy Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e, a film of epic proportions that was released in 1973. The complex, multi-part story follows a man credited as \"The Thief\" and equated with Jesus Christ, a mystical alchemist played by Jodorowsky, seven powerful business people representing seven of the planets (Venus and the six planets from Mars to Pluto), a religious training regimen of spiritual rebirth, and a quest to the top of a holy mountain for the secret of immortality. During the filming of the movie Jodorowsky received spiritual training from \u003cstrong\u003eOscar Ichazo\u003c\/strong\u003e of the \u003cstrong\u003eArica School\u003c\/strong\u003e, who encouraged him to take LSD and guided him through the subsequent psychedelic experience. The soundtrack, which was produced by Jodorowsky along with legendary jazz musician \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.mom\/search?q=Don+Cherry\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDon Cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and rock producer \u003cstrong\u003eRonald Frangipane\u003c\/strong\u003e, is nearly as surreal as the visuals presented on screen. It's eclectic and varied, moving through psychedelic rock and esoteric folk music, subtle tone poems to grand-scale orchestral themes, vintage dance music and a little Tuvan throat singing. Taken as a whole, the soundtrack to \u003ci\u003eThe Holy Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e is a wonderful ride through one of the hidden gems of the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g 'cloud \u0026amp; blue sky' colored double vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eindie exclusive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1973\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: ABKCO 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by Hank Ohs 01\/2015\u003c\/h6\u003e.","brand":"Alejandro Jodorowsky","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":40282242023514,"sku":"lp-14088","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/holymountain-soundtrack-coloredvinyl-1.jpg?v=1762284402","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/alejandro-jodorowsky-the-holy-mountain-ost-colored-vinyl-vinyl-2lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
