Ortolani in a grand groove! A totally great record – every bit the gem you might expect from the legendary Maestro: a journey through landscapes of sound rather than a collection of musical pieces, with instrumental arrangements that are able to conjure an atmosphere so haunting and obscure it may swallow your soul. The music is mainly bass-infused with all the best styles of the very early 70s on keyboards and electric guitar – used on these jaunty pieces that are somewhere between groovy 60s jazz and soundtrack styles.
"Now again on your turntable - with two bonus tracks previously unreleased on vinyl - one of the rarest and most beautiful soundtracks composed by Riz Ortolani for the crime movie directed in 1971 by Damiano Damiani, starring Franco Nero, Martin Balsam and Marilù Tolo. Extraordinary bass lines, guitar effects and amazing drum breaks for an astonishing mix of different sounds: from tense or dramatic moments to deep and explosive jazz-funk and beat grooves."
