Citta' Violenta
A tight, atmospheric, and pretty damn funky soundtrack composed by the maestro Ennio Morricone for the 1970 crime-drama Città violenta(released in the USA as The Family in 1973), starring the mighty Charles Bronson and directed by Sergio Sollima. Another hard-hitting score by Morricone with quite a dark mood, flowing from the dramatic to psychedelic along with a touch of funkiness. The famous "Città violenta" track, the score's main theme, is celebrated as one of Morricone's most iconic themes. …
Searching For Fantasy / In The End (Ep)
Another legendary avantgarde soundtrack from Tokyo Senso Sengo Hiwa [The Man Who Left His Will on Film] directed by Nagisa Oshima, originally released in August 1970. Oshima’s avant-radical blend of Marxist politics, agitprop cool, and softcore is a heady time capsule of early 1970s Japanese counterculture, with a dreamy pop score by the great Toru Takemitsu
Eros + Massacre (Ep)

La Lupa Mannara
Werewolf Woman (original title La Lupa Mannara) is a 1976 Italian exploitation sleaze fest with the emphasis on sex and violence.

Fuga Dal Bronx
Fuga Dal Bronx (also known as Escape from the Bronx) is one of Director Enzo G. Castellari’s crowning achievements. Dispensing with story all together, Casterllari is able to go wild with crazy over-the-top stunts, explosions and gratuitous violence. Francesco De Masi’s score is nothing short of masterful proving why he is one of the greatest (unsung) composers that worked in Italian genre pictures during the exploitation heyday of the ’70s and ’80s. His score veers from tense, smokey, jazz-ins…

Requiem per un agente segreto
A groovy little soundtrack by the great Piero Umiliani! The score is for a b-grade spy film from the late 60s – starring Stewart Granger as (according to the notes) "a seasoned secret agent, but always ready to kiss and to bang!" A lot to live up to, we know – but Umiliani more than does the job, with a wonderful mix of tunes that run from Barry-esque Bond to swinging Milan, blending electric guitar, bubbling organ, and exotic themes into a 17 track package that sparkles with the best o…
