Carlo Savina – Il Tuo Dolce Corpo Da Uccidere

We release, for the absolute first time on CD, the OST by Carlo Savina for the movie “Una maleta para un cadáver” (“Il tuo dolce corpo da uccidere”). For this CD, we were able to use everything that was found on the mono master tapes from the original recording session. Carlo Savina composed a recurring main score with a mysterious feminine voice which develops into a shake and is alternated with sometimes calm passages and sometimes violent noir and bossa nova lounge music. The discography of Carlo Savina has grown in recent years - an artist of his caliber definitely deserves it. 

Mario Bertolazzi – Il Baco Da Seta

Mario Bertolazzi (born 10 October 1918 in Bologna, died 8 October 1986 in Rome) was a jazz musician who starred in TV programs from the 1950s. He also wrote numerous songs between 1952 and 1971 and was active in the cinema as a soundtrack composer for films such as “Lady Dynamite”, (“La padrina”), “Who Killed the Prosecutor and Why?” (“Terza ipotesi su un caso di perfetta strategia criminale”), and “The Real Decameron” (“Decameron’300”). For “The Silkworm,” Bertolazzi composed a main score in music-hall style for Smeralda, the failed singer in the film, which is repeated with instrumental variations and also a vocal French version. The leitmotif is alternated with high-tension music typical of giallo films, electronic atmospheres, lounge songs you might hear at a cocktail party, and a danceable shake that seems to tastefully wink at famous American colleagues like Quincy Jones, Lalo Schifrin and Henry Mancini. This excellent OST has been released in its complete version on CD for the first time ever, using the master tapes in full stereo from the original recording session. This is the perfect CD to remember a truly well-rounded musician.

Stefano Torossi – Omicidio Per Vocazione

Stefano Torossi composed a lounge-style score where the Noir side of the story is contrasted with a danceable shake (Tr.1, Tr.2, Tr.3, Tr.5). There are also plenty of romantic themes (Tr. 4, Tr. 8) as well as an atmosphere of suspense typical of giallo films (Tr. 7). Originally C.A.M. had released 8 musical selections on a promotional LP (C.A.M. PRE 2) paired with the OST from the film (“E’ stato bello amarti”). This extremely rare vinyl was released for the first time on CD by Fin de Siècle Media (FDS32) in Sweden in 2009. For our CD we were able to access the master tapes in mono from the original recording session. We found some unreleased material such as fabulous Bossa, folk music, and other alternative and dance versions of previously released pieces - and all approved by Maestro Torossi. 

Guido & Maurizio De Angelis - I Corpi Presentano Tracce Di Violenza Carnale

In 1973 a 26 minutes-long stereo LP was prepared for RCS’s promo SP series, but it got cancelled and the 45 rpm didn’t see the light, neither. In 1999 BMG printed out a CD (OST 145) with the editing found in RCA’s archives and paired it with a selection from Bruno Nicolai’s “Gatti rossi in un labirinto di vetro” OST. Back in 2008, when we printed the full 33 tracks-long CD version, we mistakenly wrote “stereo” on the cover, but the music actually came from the mono session recorded for the movie. When Dagored printed a double LP (RED219C), in 2015, they used our mono CD as source. This new revised CD version (running time 70:38 minutes) carries the top eleven tracks in stereo version (identical to the 1973 unpublished album and to the 1999 CD) and the following twentytwo tracks in mono version. Guido & Maurizio De Angelis composed an OST which was perfect for the scenes but which also has its own life outside of the movie, where a quite cheerful and pop main theme alternates with mysterious and suspended ones, at times with dark and frightening voices. An OST for a cult movie, loved by fans all over the world.

Trans Europa Express - Il Gatto Dagli Occhi Di Giada

Digitmovies reintroduces this remarkable progressive avant-garde rock soundtrack based on Antonio Bido’s 1977 cult movie “Watch me when I kill”. Music is written and performed by Trans Europa Express. For this CD we used the recording session’s master stereo tapes. Its progressive style follows the band’s origins, in fact, Trans Europa Express’s lineup consisted of: Mauro Lusini, singer, writer of the well-known “C'era un ragazzo che come me” by Gianni Morandi and voice for “Volo” by Goblins, Gianfranco Coletta, guitarist for Chetro & Co and for the earliest Banco del Mutuo Soccorso’s formation, Glauco Borrelli, Albero Motore’s bass player, Adriano Monteduro, guitarist who recorded his first album as singer and song writer together with Reale Accademia di Musica. The atrocious killings are highlighted by a theme full of mystery, where the electric bass prevails, creating those atmospheres typical of Dario Argento’s movies, and by rythmical rock themes. This score alternates delicate moments, magical and romantic, to a great variety of avant-garde tracks, very impactful both in the movie and out. A soundtrack for every archive devoted to noir genre.
