 Goblin (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Goblin are an Italian progressive rock band who are known for their soundtracks on Dario Argento films (for example, Deep Red of 1975, also known as Profondo Rosso and Suspiria of 1977).
Their early work spawned one progressive rock record named after the band, until they were called in as replacements for composer Giorgio Gaslini, who had left the film Profondo Rosso after a conflict with director Dario Argento.
Nevertheless in 2005, with the release of the official Goblin biography written by Giovanni Aloisio and the opening of the official website called Back to the Goblin, Massimo Morante and Fabio Pignatelli may be reforming the group once again.

 Florida Museum of Natural History Ichthyology Department: Goblin Shark   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)

The goblin shark is a bottom-dwelling shark that is rarely seen at the surface or in shallow coastal waters.

 The Goblin Shark
Perhaps the Goblin Shark is not nearly as 'rare' as catch records would seem to indicate and its apparently patchy distribution may be an artifact of reportage.
In contrast, the Goblin Shark has soft, flabby body with weakly developed myotomes (muscle blocks); small eyes with contractile irises; long, rather delicate and highly protrusile jaws armed with slender, spike-like teeth; and a long, highly asymmetrical caudal fin with a low thrust-angle (a feature common in sharks known to be rather languid swimmers).
Duffy speculates that the Goblin Shark's spatulate, ampulla-peppered snout may function as a forward-projecting prey detector, in much the same way as certain halfbeaks (teleost fishes of the family Hemiramphidae) use the lateral line organs along their elongated lower jaws to feed at night.

The kingpin of Goblin is often quoted as being Claudio Simonetti, a talented and unique keyboard player, his origins were in 60's amateur bands, which eventually lead to the formation of Ritratto Di Dorian Gray (Picture of Dorian Gray), apparently a classical rock trio in the generic Italian style.
Goblin's music was only enough to fill one side of an LP, the second side being a compilation of earlier "hits", and curiously the original music here was rather untypical of the Goblin of the era, being a step back to the ROLLER style with a hard-rock edge and a hint of Focus!
The least interesting of Goblin soundtracks "Squadra Antigangsters" featured a female vocalist on some tracks and got dangerously close to soul and their alternative soundtrack to the spooky horror film "Patrick", it featured dramatic themes similar to those on ZOMBI as well strangely atmospheric and drunken electronic based pieces unlike any Goblin before.

Goblin formed in the mid-70s and achieved their greatest acclaim for their horror movie soundtracks, although they also did produce some non-soundtrack releases.

Apparently sluggish, feeding in mid-water and possibly on or near the bottom (teeth have been found embedded in submarine cables), probably using the electrosensitive rostrum to detect prey and capturing it from close range using a combination of protrusible jaws and pharyngeal suction.
