Goblin
Squadra Antimafia (Performed by Girodivite)
In the immense Goblin discography, an enormous void has always been represented by the original motion picture soundtrack of Squadra Antimafia, a score which we have tried to find, since many years, but that is apparently lost. A 1978 movie full of absolute cult icons among which Tomas Milian, Bombolo, Enzo Cannavale, Eli Wallach, Massimo Vanni directed by Bruno Corbucci: to this incredible list of stars to add Goblin is exciting. So, a while ago, following the initiative of Fabio Capuzzo, veter…

Shock
"Schock" was released in 1977 and directed by horror maestro Mario Bava, released while Italian horror cinema was at its peak, following the international success of Dario Argento with Deep Red and Suspiria. While Goblin soundtracked the work of Argento, the choice for the music of Schock fell on Libra, (distant relatives of Goblin , thanks to drummer Walter Martino and guitarist Carlo Pennisi). In ‘77 Libra, after a brief dalliance with legendary soul/funk label Motown, had practically split up…
Rarities (Film Versions and Alternates)LP
Straight from Goblin's vast production archives, here is an exclusive collection of alternative versions, sometimes very different from the original tracks included in the official releases, of some of the band's songs released from 1975 to 1982, from the legendary debut LP 'Profondo Rosso' to 'Tenebre,' passing through the extraordinary 'Suspiria,' 'Zombi' and 'Phenomena' and the 'hidden gems' of 'Patrick,' 'Contamination' and 'Buio Omega.'
'Rarities' is an exclusive Record Store Day release wh…
Squadra Antigangsters
Cinevox Record, in collaboration with Pick Up Records and Beat Records presents the CD featuring the OST of Squadra Antigangsters, composed by Goblin, 5th movie with Tomas Milian in the role of commissioner Nico Giraldi. At the time speaking Cinevox released an album with 8 cues, included two songs singed by Asha Puthli that bring the listener into late 70s American discotheques. Goblin (Fabio Pignatelli, Claudio Simonetti, Agostino Marangolo and Carlo Pennisi) composed a brilliant OST, with dif…
Contamination
180gr. clear purple vinyl. “Contamination” was released in 1980 as a soundtrack for the eponymous horror/science fiction film, during what probably was the most prolific period in Goblin’s career, even if the band had already been abandoned by guitarist Massimo Morante and keyboardist Claudio Simonetti. Unkonwn by most listeners, it’s a release that deserves more attention, since it shows a wide range of music styles (Jazz, funk, rock, electronic) and once again Goblin’s ability in writing film …
Zombi (Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film)
Thanks to the brilliant debut “Night of the Living Dead” (1968), director and screenwriter George Romero is considered the creator of the ‘modern zombie’, a metaphor for the profoundly consumerist and capitalist society we live in, that was perfectly shown years later in “Dawn of the Dead” (1978); this movie was distributed in Italy as “Zombi”, with a different editing made by Dario Argento and a soundtrack once again composed by legendary Goblin.
“Zombi” is a very varied album where the electr…
Suspiria
** 180gr. clear purple vinyl edition. ** After the incredible debut of “Profondo Rosso” (Deep Red), the soundtrack of the eponymous 1975 film directed by Dario Argento, no one could ever imagine that shortly afterwards Goblin would be able not only to reach its heights but even further refine what the band already delivered in their first record. While “Profondo Rosso” had been partly composed by Giorgio Gaslini, “Suspiria” is a 100% Goblin album, the result of a choral work in which every sing…
Buio Omega
Limited edition on 180gr. clear purple vinyl. “Buio Omega”, two short and simple words that, in the mind of Goblin’s fans as well as in the horror/splatter movies fanatics’ one, recall sounds and images of a legendary film. Directed in 1979 by Joe D’Amato, it still impresses with the rawness and morbidity of its scenes, the trademark of a director who, much more than others, befits the term ‘extreme’.
The soundtrack of the film, whose main ingredients are keyboards and synthesizers, swings among…
Cherry Five
*Clear-Velvet Vinyl edition* A reissue of Cherry Five, the first and only homonymous work of the band, made by Claudio Simonetti, Massimo Morante, Fabio Pignatelli, drummer Carlo Bordini and singer Tony Tartarini. The album was recorded in 1974 but published only in 1976, a year before the official birth of Goblin and the worldwide success of "Profondo Rosso". In the original vinyl Simonetti and Morante were included as authors of the songs but not as performers. The record in question is a rari…
Wampyr (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
* Red Vinyl. Housed in gatefold sleeve. Deluxe Edition * Wampyr is the title of the Italian version of George A. Romero’s movie directed in 1976, "Martin", curated by Dario Argento and edited by Piero Bozza. A very different adaptation from the original film, which was then 'overshadowed' by the success of "Dawn of the Dead / Zombi" and that only in recent years has been appropriately re-evaluated.For the Italian version of “Martin”, as well as for “Dawn of the Dead / Zombi”, the music of Gobli…
Gamma
* 180gr. solid white vinyl edition * “Gamma” is a dramatic Italian TV show from 1975, one of the most important of those made in the same decade: a mini-series that combines mystery and science fiction, in a story that raises interesting ethical questions of a scientific and medical nature.The “Gamma” soundtrack, composed and directed by Enrico Simonetti, is a perfect combination of classical, jazz and pop music, with forays into prog and funk-rock territories. The main theme 7-inch released at …
Virus (Apocalipsis Canibal)
*Limited edition of 500 copies.* Quartet Records, in collaboration with Cinevox Records, presents the premiere release of the soundtrack to Bruno Mattei’s 1980 iconic zombie film Virus (aka Virus, L’inferno Dei Morti Viventi, aka Apocalipsis Caníbal, aka Hell Of The Living Dead), which compiles together both library music and an original score composed by Gianni Dell’Orso.
Virus largely takes place in Papua New Guinea, as a group of mercenaries are sent to resolve an imminent zombie outbreak. Th…
Patrick
*2022 stock* “Patrick” is an Australian thriller/horror movie made in 1978; at the beginning of the following year, Goblin were asked by the Italian distributor of the film, De Laurentis, to write a new soundtrack – originally composed by an Australian musician called… Brian May! – for the Italian movie market. The result is a mix of old songs chosen added by the Cinevox Record label and new selections, strongly influenced by Alan Parsons Project.
Volo
*2022 stock* "One of the last Goblin-related releases to arrive on CD thanks to the Cinevox label, the notorious `Volo' from 1982 is now reissued. The Eighties was not a banner year for much of anything prog-related, and with bass player Fabio Pignatelli the sole founding member here, he's joined by a mix of related ex-Goblin members and session players, and together they delivered a sleek set of pop/rock/funk pieces very much in the manner of the popular commercial styles of the time. While it'…
La Chiesa
*2022 stock* This official soundtrack album for the Italian horror movie La Chiesa ("The Church") features four pieces performed by Keith Emerson. These are The Church (Main Theme); Prelude 24 (From Well Tempered Clavier); The Possession, and The Church Revisited, all four of which have also been included on the Keith Emerson "At the Movies" 3CD set. Emerson's contributions add up to about 13 minutes of music all in all.The rest of the music on this soundtrack is by other artists, including seve…
Non Ho Sonno (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
*2022 stock* "Non ho sonno isn’t exactly a return to the glory days of Suspiria and Roller, but it’s very good, and is worthy of purchase before most of the 1980’s soundtracks. Though Goblin managed to hold on to the 1970’s sound even on most of their 1980’s work, this album sounds much more like the 1980’s than the 1970’s or 1990’s, especially the guitar. As far as opening themes go, “Non Ho Sonno” is good. That basically goes for the rest of the music too. It’s all very good, but not as unique…
Contamination
*2022 stock* `Contamination' sees Italian progressive and cult soundtrack band Goblin add a refreshing dose of other wordly sci-fi sounds to their usual creeping horror atmospherics, and it makes for a mostly consistent and successful album.This time the soundtrack to a science-fiction film, It's a shame that the album is another mostly unnoticed and somewhat ignored work from the band, because in addition to a number of suspenseful and moody numbers, it contains the classic Goblin track `Quiet …
La Via Della Droga - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
*2022 stock* When Cinevox began reissuing the album catalog of Goblin in the late '90s, they also issued some new albums featuring Goblin soundtracks that had never been given a proper release. One of the most interesting albums from this group was La Via Della Droga, the soundtrack to a 1977 Italian crime thriller that chronicled the adventures of an undercover police officer as he infiltrated a European drug ring. The score plays down the horror theatrics that dominated chilling scores like Su…
Amo Non Amo (I Love You I Love You Not)
*2022 stock* This is an official release of the Goblin soundtrack to Amernia Balducci's film Amo Non Amo. The film, staring Jaqueline Bisset and Terrence Stamp, was released in the U.S.A. under the title Together with a soundtrack by Burt Bacharach. For the Italian prog group Goblin, the commission to rescore the Italian version presented a challenge that would produce some of their most unusual work. There was no spine-chilling horror in this human love story, so Goblin penned the title track, …
