Il Giustiziere Sfida La Città
The music composed by Micalizzi undeniably emerges for its adherence to the narrative of the story adding dynamic and lyrical value to the various scenes, all the more reason this to consider it an absolutely successful soundtrack in terms of interplay between sound and images. The means used by the Maestro to achieve this result are the classics of the period: Tight hard-funk rhythms, guitars effected with wha-wha, woodwinds in great relief, piano played in the medium-low register, clavinets po…
La Banda Del Gobbo

Here at the wor…
Confessione di un commissario di Polizia...
For the first time on 7’’, the two grooviest tracks from the soundtrack composed by Riz Ortolani for “Confessione di un commissario di polizia al procuratore della Repubblica” (aka, “Confessions of a Police Captain”), the renowned 1971 crime drama by Damiano Damiani, starring Franco Nero at the peak of his career. On Side A, “Serena e Lomunno” is a jazzy spell performed by an exceptional quartet - unfortunately uncredited - consisting of bass, electric guitar, drums, and piano. On Side B, the qu…

The Wicker Man
Tip! *2024 stock* Originally released in 2013 for the 40th anniversary of the cult 70’s horror film, only 500 copies of The Wicker Man 40th Anniversary Edition were pressed on black vinyl which have become highly sought after.

The record is impossible to describe accurately, but it's a really dark one – strangely fragile at some …
Spasmo
2024 repress. This great score for Umberto Lenzi's 1974 cult thriller Spasmo, by the maestro Ennio Morricone, creates a disorienting and disturbing effect, with unusual, almost avant-garde-like sounds, instrumentation, and composition. "Sweetness and darkness – perfectly blended together in this classic mid 70s soundtrack by Ennio Morricone! The main theme of the film – "Bambole" – is one of those Mondo Morricone type numbers that floats along on a gossamy sheen – vocals gliding softly over ligh…
Squadra Antimafia (Performed by Girodivite)
In the immense Goblin discography, an enormous void has always been represented by the original motion picture soundtrack of Squadra Antimafia, a score which we have tried to find, since many years, but that is apparently lost. A 1978 movie full of absolute cult icons among which Tomas Milian, Bombolo, Enzo Cannavale, Eli Wallach, Massimo Vanni directed by Bruno Corbucci: to this incredible list of stars to add Goblin is exciting. So, a while ago, following the initiative of Fabio Capuzzo, veter…

Chronopolis
Limited to 45 copies. In Andy Ortmann's own words: Earlier in 2020 I was commissioned to score a film of my choosing. Chronopolis (Piotr Kamler) from 1982 was my first choice. It was to have been debuted in Chicago over a 16 channel speaker system, incidentally this was the first event to my knowledge to be cancelled due to Covid-19, furthermore it was Friday the 13th.

The Maestro wrote the entire OST starting from a single…
Soundtrack From The Film "More"
Commissioned as a soundtrack to the seldom-seen French hippie movie of the same name, More was a Pink Floyd album in its own right, reaching the Top Ten in Britain. The group's atmospheric music was a natural for movies, but when assembled for record, these pieces were unavoidably a bit patchwork, ranging from folky ballads to fierce electronic instrumentals to incidental mood music.
