*2022 stock* Angelo F. Lavagnino  wrote scores for all kinds of films: documentaries, historical films, comedies and westerns. For this film he composed a compelling soundtrack performed by just a few instruments such as organ, percussion, and piano, but for the melody of the gang of "Mexicans" the author brought in a large orchestra. We were able to use each and every note found on the original mono master tapes for this CD.

*2022 stock* Digitmovies travels back in time to the 1970s and presents for the very first time on CD and in full stereo two OST by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis.

" - "Zwei tolle Hechte auf dem Weg zum Himmel ") was a 1974 movie directed by Giuseppe Colizzi which starred the very famous American actors Keith Carradine (" Em…

*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'…

*2022 stock* Through his music Stelvio Cipriani has tried to give body and sensitivity to the symphony that the works of great Renaissance artists have continued to express through the centuries. The works in question are those of the Vatican. The artists are among the greatest that the history of mankind has ever produced, it is sufficient to mention only two names, Michelangelo and Raffaello. In Cipriani's music, the old and the new blend in modulations of profound consonance.

*2022 stock* In this 1989 television remake of La ciociara, the curiosity in the soundtrack is all about the composer. Armando Trovajoli, after having composed the music for the original, has also taken it upon himself to write the score for this new version of the film.Obviously, compared to the masterful version made for the original, this second vision of the film is less articulated and interesting, however, Trovajoli's training, which began his career with the violin, pervades the main them…

*2022 stock* Murderock continues Keith Emerson's string of soundtrack albums he released after disbanding Emerson, Lake & Palmer in 1980. "Streets to Blame" and "Not So Innocent," which feature singer Doreen Chanter. It begins with pop songs and the remainder of the disc consists of instrumentals, from the jazzy, lighthearted "Coffee Time" to the heavily orchestrated "Candice," most of which are at the very least pleasant and all of which have moments of inspiration. Here are some of Emerson's b…

A classic score by legendary Armando Trovajoli for the comedy-action-spy movie directed in year 1968 by Michele Lupo and produced by Marco Vicario. Fresh off the big hits of the Seven Golden Men, producer Vicario hired again Armando Trovajoli for this motion picture. M° Trovajoli has created a very loungey soundtrack filled with blues and jazzy elements. The highly talented choir of I Cantori Moderni di Alessandro Alessandroni plays an important role in the score, performing in its unique way. T…

Kit Sebastian are back with a special stand-alone 7” release that presents an appetising taster of what is to follow from their much-anticipated sophomore album.  After losing themselves in the magic of the French countryside to record, the band have delivered two gems that we initially thought were a soupçon of the said new album. In fact, though recorded during the same sessions, they felt these tracks were best served up as an aperitif to the album.  Francis Lai, Vladimir Cosma, Fikret Kızıl…

** 2021 Stock ** Travel agents for inner journeys Seahawks take us on a voyage ever deeper into the new age vortex. Their last album 'Escape Hatch' described by Vice as a 'modern masterpiece' only hinted at the transcendent power of Seahawks music.

Side one: the listener immersed in a soft storm of tape saturated raindrops and distant thunder...numinous waves of sound cascade to create whirlpools of womb-like warmth with ge…

Far away from the land of breaks, beats and modern music is the world of the Clangers. Created by the genius team of Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin (Bagpuss, Ivor The Engine, Pogle's Wood), the Clangers are now over 40 years old. Their name comes from the noise the dustbin lids covering their homes makes, and all the music and special effects played for both series are issued on this record.The music was played and composed by Vernon Elliot and a small quartet from the Philharmonia. Musical di…

“Tenebre” is the soundtrack of the eponymous film directed by Dario Argento in 1982, which celebrated today its 30th anniversary. Even if released as ‘Simonetti – Pignatelli – Morante’, it’s usually considered an actual Goblin album; as many people know, the ‘real’ Goblin were releasing the LP “Volo” at the same time, and the band’s name and logo could not be used for copyright reasons. “Tenebre” is the last great collaboration between Argento and Goblin: here Dario Argento moved from full and w…

"Inferno" is a 1980 film by Dario Argento, generally considered one of the masterpieces of the Roman director. At that particular time, the artistic partnership established with Goblin, who wrote the soundtracks for "Profondo Rosso" and "Suspiria", had essentially crumbled, while in the UK Emerson, Lake & Palmer had just disbanded; Argento was therefore able to make a dream come true: to collaborate with an artist from the English prog-rock scene.Keith Emerson was then invited to reach Dario Arg…

Edition of 500. Quartet proudly announces the first CD edition of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to the film "I due evasi di Sing Sing " from 1964, directed by the legendary Lucio Fulci and starring the famed Italian comedy characters Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia.

The album was originally released on an impossible-to-find promo-only library release in the late '60s with different tit…

"Freedom Power" (released in 1976 on Cometa too) is  one of the most popular italian libraries of the '70s  and contains compositions of Gabriele Ducros with the  contributions of other masters and musicians like Sandro Brugnolini, Enrico  Pieranunzi and Silvano Chimenti. "Tower  Of Power" is the sequel to that lucky LP  and includes unreleased material recorded during the same session of 1976, songs that, just like the ones on the first volume, are in the tradition of the jazz-funk soundtracks …

1970's Italian quartet legends I Marc 4 put this album out in 1969, possibly their first album, and it has been reissued on CD under the now defunct "Plastic" label that specialized in Italian movie soundtracks and other swank bachelor-pad sounds of the era. Surprisingly, very few from the mega I Marc 4 compilation  Beat Sound of the Marc 4  appear here, and when they do they are snippets of earlier versions that will blossom into other renditions later in their career. For that reason, and be…

The incomparable Piero Umiliani (under his mysterious Moggi moniker) weighs in with another killer library gem of 1979. “News! News! News!” was originally released in few copies on the small imprint Sound Work Shop, both label and recording studio owned by the cult maestro. Musica Per Immagini gave another chance to its eleven amazing electronic and jazz tracks played by some of the best musicians who took part in the golden age of Italian music libraries. This sought-after album is the way the …

The year is 1971 and Mort Garson - already prolific in the emerging world of Moog synthesis through his zodiac series and the gentler Mother Earth's Plantasia - decides to peer into darker territories. Under the singular moniker Lucifer, he releases Black Mass, an album that remains his most unsettling and focused work. This is occult electronics before the term had any real meaning. Ten pieces exploring supernatural phenomena through purely synthetic means - the Moog interpreting exorcism, witc…

2010 release. Meet Stone. The trailer says it all. A deep Australian drawl narrates the scene over a psychedelic swamp-funk rhythm section doused in electronic percussion and treated keyboards. "Stone Is a Trip... The grave diggers are on the move -- a new breed of motorbike gang." The screen fills with images of slo-mo bike accidents, hallucinogenic trips and a death-defying cliff stunt which could easily be mistaken for a doppelganger scene in Psychomania. "Vietnam veterans with their own styl…

CD digipack edition. The original motion picture soundtrack for John Carpenter's Dark Star (1974), with added bonuses that are sure to satisfy all cult sci-fi soundtrack completists of the galaxy (and beyond). This limited-edition release includes an LP and a 7". The former is a remastered version of the original motion picture soundtrack consisting of incidental music, sound effects, John Carpenter's synth experimentations, dialogue excerpts, and vintage interferences extracted directly from th…

Superb and obscure Italian soundtrack featuring psychedelic mood music from the obscure RAI television program "... Con Un Colpo Di Bacchetta." centered around the 'Extra Sensory perception' phenomenon, released by an equally obscure group from Genoa, formed by students in 1978 and released this album and a single for the Eleven label (Franco Leprino) the same year. A trully bizzare effort of Avant Garde weirdness, Classical education, acoustic mysticism and deep experimentation, which breaks an…

Philip Glass’ original score to Monique Gardenberg’s 1995 political thriller “Jenipapo”, starring Henry Czerny, brought Glass another opportunity to composed against the backdrop of the Brazilian landscape and the tumult of political upheaval. The story of the film follows a reporter in his search to track down an influential priest who has gone silent during a political battle over Brazil’s forests. Glass’ score reflects the political implications of the film as well as the vast canvas against …

Six years before the release of his landmark Mother Earth's Plantasia, composer and arranger Mort Garson met experimental film director Skip Sherwood, who was interested in an electronic score for his new movie, Didn't You Hear? While not much is known now about the exact nature of their collaboration, we have Garson's magnificent score as a record of those heady, early days after his life-changing discovery of the Moog synthesizer. This stands as one of the first-ever all-electronic movie score…
