Le Foto Proibite Di Una Signora Per Bene
One of the greatest soundtracks ever from the legendary Ennio Morricone – a real standard-setting record that's one of the top choices we go to again and again to illustrate the genius of his music! The score is a fantastic mix of the two best sides of Morricone's work – the kind of light, lilting melodies that are schooled in bossa, but turned loose on their own devices – and the darker, more atonal passages that would come to play more strongly during the 70s. The light wins over the darkness …
Il Serpente
Super Tip! “Il Serpente” (Night Flight from Moscow) is a 1973 spy and thriller film directed by Henri Verneuil, starring among others Yul Brinner, Henry Fonda and Philippe Noiret. It’s one of the French director’s six movies that feature a soundtrack composed by Ennio Morricone, who here managed to describe the thrilling atmosphere of this high-voltage espionage, alternating dramatic and mysterious passages ("Assassinio sul Lago", "Il Serpente") and experimental ones ("Astrazione con Ritmo", "Es…
Vase de Noces
The venerable Sub Rosa returns with one of their most curious and revelatory releases to date: the first ever release of Alain Pierre’s visionary soundtrack for Thierry Zeno’s 1974, controversial and widely banned avant-garde film “Vase de Noces” (Wedding Trough). A radical and entirely singular, not to mention virtually unheard, effort of electroacoustic music, rooted heavily in field recording and extreme tape manipulation (and who knows what else) - feeling sophisticated and refined while ret…

Lucifer Rising Ost
*2024 repress!!* Forty years or so ago Bobby BeauSoleil conceived of the music for Lucifer Rising as a single continuous piece of music, a 45-minute rock symphony. Despite the rigors and challenges imposed by his imprisonment, he delivered his psychedelic opus, fully realized, and presented it as a complete work on LP in 1979.
“Ultra rare and precious material composed almost in secret during the 70’s. “Lucifer Rising” is also the soundtrack of Kenneth Anger’s experimental, acid and metaphysical…
Napoli Violenta
The original soundtrack of the 1976 cult movie 'Napoli Violenta', composed by Maestro Franco Micalizzi, sees a deserved reissue. A classic 70s Italian crime soundtrack! There's a quality to the music that really matches the badass image on the front – a bold, forceful approach that has the upbeat numbers strutting along with plenty of pride – and which has the mellower, more brooding tracks working themes that are simple, but which pack the same force as the revolver on the cover. Franco Micaliz…

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…
