Abnormal Sensations
Lucky restock, few copies available Collectively known under their production pop group moniker The Pawnshop, Italian Giallo/Spaghetti legends Alessandro Alessandroni, Giuliano Sorgini and Giulia De Mutiis (using their Giallo-psych alter egos of Braen, Raskovich and Kema) would reconvene behind the curtain in 1973 to craft this lost full-length LP as a mythical addition to their tiny group discography.Pin-pointing a bona fide crossroads between the composers’ individual library grails The Under…
Il Mondo dei Romani
Restocked!! "Il mondo dei romani" is one of Maestro Piero Umiliani's most atypical sound library/synch albums, recorded in 1972 during a period of great electronic experimentation (partly because of production reasons, partly responding to an immense desire to express his creative skills). Unique in his discography, the album joins paradigmatic Roman classicism with the most genuine electronic experimentation, which in some parts reminds us of Kraftwerk. A great follow-up to the electro-synth so…
Tra Scienza e Fantascienza
Restocked!! "Tra scienza e fantascienza", is an album of histrionic Piero Umiliani recorded under the pseudonym Moggi. A Master gifted with a never ending passion for music, innovator by vocation, experimenter in his genetic code now at ease with synths in order to forge sound that could be reductively termed as avantgarde. Timeless atmospheres, alien hypnotic sonorities, modern and charmingly retro, minimal and complex arranged with an impressive taste for the unknown substance the Maestro…
Black Emanuelle: Orient Reportage
Nico Fidenco's 'Black Emanuelle: Orient Reportage' aka 'Black Emanuelle Goes East' is one of the seminal soundtracks that will set you on an Italian groove odyssey! The film is probably the most depraved of all the volumes of the Emanuelle series. Maestro Fidenco relies heavily on layered strings, horns, flutes, violins and an array of exotic instruments and aims for eclecticism in playing with versions of the main theme. No one is ever the same after... 'Black Emanuelle'! 45RPM audiophil…
The Link (Extrasensorial)
On vinyl, it's the ultra rare Ennio Morricone soundtrack for the 1982 horror/thriller 'The Link' (a.k.a. 'Extrasensorial' or 'Blood Link'), directed by Alberto De Martino. Maestro Morricone delivers a stunning score that is by turns romantic and suspenseful, producing several layered foreground as well as background compositions, and disturbing distortion effects in accordance with the sophisticated mise en scene curated by cinematographer Romano Albani ('Phenomena'/'Inferno') for De Mart…
Chi L'ha Vista Morire?
One of Ennio Morricone's long overlooked masterworks, the collection of eerie, dissonant choral pieces and freaky takes on traditional Italian children's songs that is Chi l'ha vista morire? is as compelling on its own as it is fascinating in its interaction with the 1972 film. While at first celebrating a carefree childhood, then lamenting its helplessness and unavoidable loss, Ennio Morricone's brilliant pieces in the end move on to address darker areas of the human psyche, the hysteric…
Bandidos
Egisto Macchi composed an excellent score that gives to the scenes the pathos, which is lacking most of the times in the interpretation. With the help of this cool music, the breathtaking succession of scenes and the compelling story make the viewers to forget they are just watching a fiction, and not a true story. Bandidos is the story of a great revenge and action-packed from the very start.
Come Un Girotondo
In 1978 Roberto Faenza directed Forza Italia!, a ferocious satire on the power of the Italian Christian Democrat party covering thirty years of Italian political history. The film was withdrawn from the theatres on the day Aldo Moro, President of the Christian Democrats, was kidnapped, and remains banned for over 15 years. Aldo Moro being the one who will end his life recommending (in his handwritten memoirs found in the den of the Red Brigades in via Monte Nevoso in Milan) to see the film 'if o…
Mysticae
"Mysticae" contains the Original TV Soundtrack composed by Ennio Morricone for the RAI series, "L'uomo e la magia". "Mysticae" was also the first LP published by Cometa. Movie director Sergio Giordana started to work for RAI (Italian State TV) in 1963, and since then he showed his talents for investigation documentaries. In 1972 he proposed and carried out for RAI a mini series titled "L'uomo e la magia". Having the opportunity to develop the series in eight episodes, and that joint to the …
Pathos Bellico
Morricone, Bacalov, Pregadio, Trovajoli, Macchi, Teimar: original music never published before. The music collected in this CD recall the most remarkable phases of armed conflict, in order more or less the usual tragic parable. The emotion aroused by the onset of hostilities in the early operations, employment of a patrol, a displacement, the commotion caused by listening to reports of war or sign of honor to the fallen, or on arrival difficult of rare letters from home, and then panic, the part…
Violence!
One of the most renowned "polizziottesco" soundtrack ever, "Il cinico, l'infame e il violento" (here with the name "Violence!") is Franco Micalizzi at his best, funky and groovey. This is the first complete CD edition!
Sardegna
The movie "Sardegna", made €‹in 1972, is part of the 14 documentaries funded and sponsored by Esso, who aimed to bring to the attention of the large international audience the beautiful landscapes, the architecture and art of our wonderful and unique country: Italy. In 1978, RAI broadcast the full series. The same thing happened in the U.S., Germany, Australia, China and other networks of national importance. The series was distributed in schools, in 35mm and 16mm. In 1983 the publica…
La Fidanzata Del Bersagliere
In 1963, when Ennio Morricone composed the music of "La fidanzata del bersagliere", he was only 34 years, but the signs of what would become, like in other previous works, are all there. And this "La fidanzata del bersagliere", is, as far as we can tell, the only job that Morricone has created for the playhouse so-called "light". At that moment, Ennio Morricone is best known and appreciated for the arrangements of some pop music albums of Edoardo Vianello, Luigi Tenco, Rita Pavone, Gianni Morand…
Assassinio Al Cimitero Etrusco
I’d already known Sergio Martino for some years, as his team produced another cult film by director Lucio Fulci, "Paura nella città dei morti viventi" (aka "City of the living dead") in 1980. The following year, Sergio decided to produce a movie with a compelling plot, a psychological thriller with horror elements. The film was set in Volterra and its surrounding neighborhoods, which at one time were the political and social heart of Etruscan society. The main theme of the score is a piece …
Il Pianeta d'Acqua
In May 1980 the Italian Radio and Television, RAI, put on air on the TV national network a program on the water, a very hot topic. The proposal to RAI of that really interesting topic came by the talented director of documentaries Carlo Alberto Pinelli. Always very attentive to the socio-cultural issues, now Pinelli has got credits for over one hundred and twenty documentary-investigations. The shooting of "Il Pianeta d'Acqua" brought him to travel a good part of the world. Maestro Ennio Morric…
Opposte Esperienze
This beautiful and rich soundtrack, written especially for "Opposte esperienze", shows an artistic sensibility that has no equal in the difficult world of cinema, because it reflects the passions that run and overlap in context and it is particularly attentive to the feelings that disrupt the lives of humans who take turns in the film. Only a keen student of human frailties may report on the musical staff all those feelings that afflict the world daily and Ennio Morricone with his whole exp…
Once Upon A Time In The West
2020 repress, clear vinyl + poster. After the "Dollar Trilogy", Sergio Leone was given a new offer on another western movie that he could not refuse. Following his own rules again, and working on the film story with Bernardo Bertolucci and Dario Argento, he directed the monumental "Once upon a time in the West", featuring the American actors Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson among others.Each character is strongly stereotyped here, a fact emphasized by the motion picture soundtrack, once again del…
A Fistful of Dollars / Per un Pugno di Dollari
**2020 repress. Red vinyl + poster** Year 1964. Almost out of nowhere, the little-known and regarded director Sergio Leone transposes into a western key a film by Akira Kurosawa, and by putting together all the right pieces, adding a bit of intuition, lays down new rules for the 'spaghetti western' genre, giving way to an endless series of imitations."A Fistful of Dollars" would not have the same impact without the inimitable music written by Ennio Morricone, who had curiously been an old elemen…
Meditations Vol. 1 - 2
The 2 LP in bundle, originally released in the early 1980s on Coloursound (the German library-music label) a combination of exotic instruments, woodwinds, synthesizers, and early digital techniques, the albums present a futuristic landscape that still sounds other-worldly today.
A few months Aguirre released Joel Vandroogenbroeck’s first solo effort Biomechanoid, an outstanding dark electronic ambient album. Now we present his two Meditations albums. Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. In these library music alb…
