Fumo Di Londra

i Crudeli (The Cruel Ones)
Supremely atmospheric Ennio Morricone score to a lesser known, but nonetheless stylish and satisfying Sergio Corbucci production; a cross between a Spaghetti Western and a wild west road movie, indeed, a fine example of a film that combines both Italian and American western film traditions.
Andy Warhol's Flesh for Frankenstein
Dagored presents the first complete vinyl edition of Claudio Gizzi's sophisticated soundtrack for the ultra-cult film "Flesh for Frankenstein". The legendary 1973 work was directed by Paul Morrissey and produced by Andy Warhol and stars a young Udo Kier. With its sad tone, the score perfectly matches the cold and cruel realism of this bizarre horror film. Careful piano is joined by an at times magnificent orchestra on this album, which definitely holds its own, even without the film. Double v…
Profondita'
Restocked, last copies around....One of the more enigmatic and best kept secret albums in Italian discography, which has sparked lengthy discussions among collectors, has been unearthed by Cinedelic Records who found the original masters and put an exclamation mark on the year of production: 1977. 'Profondità' is a double LP of strongly progressive and psychedelic tunes with space, underwater, intimate and rarefied atmospheres. Full of the kind of technicolour psychedelics you expect by a Floyd-…
Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh
Spare and spooky – and a cool Italian soundtrack for this horror film that's also known (alternately) as The Blade Of The Ripper, The Next Victim, Next, and The Strange Vice Of Mrs Ward. The style is kind of a mixture of Piccioni and Morricone – as some tracks have a spare, moody, evocative sound with piano and wordless vocals, mixed with other tracks that have a lighter bossa-ish sound on organ or harpsichord.. (Dustygroove)
Una Bella Grinta
n amazing set of modern jazz – penned by Italian film composer Piero Umiliani, but also played by a very hip group headed by a young Gato Barbieri! Although Gato's probably best known for his late 60s appearances on the American scene, and his 70s dates for Impulse and Flying Dutchman – his earlier work in Italy is all pretty darn great, and this set shows the budding modernist to be in very strong company with a lineup that includes Enrico Rava on trumpet and Franco D'Andrea on piano, plu…
La Musique dans le Film d'Alain Resnais
This unedited collection of soundtracks to the films of Alain Resnais explores the legendary French director's relationships with some of the greatest composers of the era: Georges Delerue (whom Le Figaro dubbed "the Mozart of cinema"), Giovanni Fusco (known for his work with Michelangelo Antonioni), Francis Seyrig, and the great Hans Werner Henze. A film director of insatiable curiosity and a man rightly considered as a musician among filmmakers, Resnais worked with composers of widely differ…

Quarta Pagina
**CD version** Another amazing find of our research - this obscure album by The Braen's Machine is dated 1971 and is part of one of the most fascinating and enigmatic periods of Italian music history. Library Music, made for radio and TV mainly, pressed on a few vinyl copies..."Quarta pagina" portrays with great ability some possible - who knows if they ever had been realized - crime scenes, with hard-boiled and dark atmospheres, alternating with the Psych-Funk rides that have always characteriz…

Stelvio Cipriani's legendary "Italian version" (it was cut from the US release) soundtrack for the 1972 Mario Bava film Gli Orrori Del Castello Di Norimberga (Baron Blood) contains jazzy elements and classic sounds combined with great audio effects obtained by "torturing" guitars, drums, and the wind.

Il Prefetto di Ferro
The Maestro Morricone’s Mediterranean sounds for the cult movie “Il Prefetto di Ferro” - directed by Pasquale Squitieri and starring the Italian cinema legend Giuliano Gemma - are sometimes warm, sometimes hard and sharp. With this score we can easily understand how much the Italian composer know about Sicilian folk music; the wonderful ballad “La Ballata del Prefetto Mori”, with its sad lyrics written by Ignazio Buttitta, is magistrally interpreted by one of the most important voices of …
Il Consigliori
Riz Ortolani's soundtrack for Il Consigliori (1973) is a varied mix of elements, approaches, and methods, and it will satisfy collectors searching for depth and emotion in their soundtracks. Ortolani bravely experiments with a certain pop sound, moving through devastating moments of love and explosions of brass to represent the violence and the action. Light-hearted at some moments and brooding at others, Il Consigliori serves up prime Riz for cult Italian soundtrack fans, while also serv…
The Chain Reaction
Described as 'Mad Max meets the China Syndrome', the 1980 Australian film The Chain Reaction is an often overlooked entry in the highly venerated Ozploitation Genre. A nuclear disaster themed thrill ride into early 80s Australiana and industrial paranoia. Sitting alongside Night Of Fear (1972) and Turkey Shoot (1982) in the outlandish canon of Australian B-cinema from the 1970s and 80s The Chain Reaction includes its fair share of gratuitous nudity, ocker attitude and souped up vehicular ca…

Obscure and desirable Italian Library exploitation by a mysterious studio group composed by Ernesto Nicelli, Stellio Subelli and Pasquale Castiglione. Tons of psychedelic killing grooves as the infamous "Diatomea" or "Gospel 71", nice breakbeats are also featured in the…
