Scorticateli Vivi
* 2023 stock * 1978's Scorticateli Vivi is a cynical mercenary exploiter that was the last of four films Stelvio Cipriani scored for director Mario Siciliano. The film is best known in the US under the rather grotesquely alluring title Skin 'Em Alive, even though no one actually gets skinned alive in the movie; it is also known under its 1980 Philippines English language release title, Wild Geese Attack, in an attempt to suggest to theatergoers that it was a direct sequel to the 1978 Andrew V. M…
Bermude: La Fossa Maledetta (Cave Of The Sharks)
* 2023 stock * Chris' Soundtrack Corner proudly presents for the first time the complete soundtrack to Tonino Ricci's 1978 supernatural thriller, featuring one of the most luscious and infectiously melodic scores composed by A-list Italian film composer Stelvio Cipriani.
It so happened that in less than two years maestro Stelvio Cipriani composed scores for three genre films dealing with the peculiar subject matter of the Bermuda (or Devil's) Triangle. Between 1978 and 1979 Cipriani scored IL TR…
A Pugni Nudi
The German label Chris' Soundtrack Corner continues its successful crusade to openly flaunt the exceptional precociousness of Italian film scores of the 1970s with A Pugni Nudi - a stunningly appropriate follow-up to their 2010 release of the orchestral funk masterwork Vai Gorilla. Where that hot gem showcased the collaborative magic of Bixio, Frizzi and Tempera, this latest CD allows composer and music mogul Franco Bixio to strut his considerable stuff solo. Salvaged (and expanded) from a top-r…
Sono Stato Un Agente CIA
* 2023 stock * The 1978 Italian espionage thriller Sono Stato Un Agente CIA stars well-known 60s / 70s American actor David Janssen – television's original Fugitive. Also known as Covert Action the taut narrative is a precursor to the wildly successful Jason Bourne series in that Janssen's character is in Europe fighting to stay alive and one step ahead of his former employers, a dark cabal within the American intelligence community. A major difference between current film fare such as the Bourn…

Africadeus
Bomb! Spiritual, intimate and revolutionary, yet firmly rooted in Brazil's folklore. Africadeus was the breakthrough album of the mighty Naná Vasconcelos, in which he discovered the berimbau to the world and took the instrument to a universal level. Having played in the shadows for other artists such as Milton Nascimento, Gato Barbieri or Som Imaginario, Naná is here finally in the spotlight. Recorded in 1973 in France for Pierre Barouh's Saravah label, this is the album that definitely imprinte…

A Vulture Is Not A Bird You Can Trust
Another underground folk masterpiece back on the map. Forerunner of the british revival Ian A. Anderson licensed the album on his own The Village Thing on December 1971. Besides a couple of excellent cover- Black Uncle Remus penned by Loudon Wainwright III and a minor Bob Dylan classic as One Too Many Mornings – the album shows a more forward thinking production, with several bucolic progressive arrangements.
Reaction
*2023 stock* "That this is the first release by the courageous pianist Mario Rusca, born in Turin in 1937, and thus not that young anymore, can only be explained (and not justified) by circumstances such as described above. But there’s more to it. Though I really strive to support Italian jazz and to discover new talents, often by going against the tide, I hadn’t yet heard the name of Mario Rusca three years ago. It was Joe Venuti who introduced me to him in the spring of 1971, while he was stay…
