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.
Cannibal Holocaust
AMS Records is proud to present a special edition of the 'Cannibal Holocaust' soundtrack, exclusively released on the occasion of Record Store Day 2023. It is, of course, one of the many 'cannibalistic' movies, but perhaps it's also the only one of its a genre that even today generates mixed feelings and strong controversy. The excellent soundtrack, composed by Riz Ortolani, makes extensive use of string instruments, masterfully arranged and directed to match the strong contrast between the more…

Magnificat
300 copies. Black Vinyl Taken from the 1993 movie directed by Pupi Avati. To describe the dark era of the Middle Ages, between the sacred and the profane, Riz Ortolani has composed a fascinating score of ancient flavor and by abstract sounds even given from the sound of water and the breath of the wind mixed with the tolling of the bell, various types of percussion, strings instruments and ghostly choral voices
Citta' Violenta
** Double LP, 300 copies. Black Vinyl ** 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), conducted by Bruno Nicolai, 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…
Il Serpente

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 …

Le Ultime Ore Di Una Vergine
Chris' Soundtrack Corner proudly presents Daniele Patucchi's masterful score to Le Ultime Ore Di Una Vergine. In the 1970s, the genre of Italian melodramas found new and innovative ways to discuss heavy topics against the backdrop of romantic stories. Until abortion was made legal in 1978, Italian filmmakers shot dramas centering around the issue with varying degrees of good taste. Le Ultime Ore Di Una Vergine (THE LAST HOURS OF A VIRGIN; also known as UN DOPPIO A METÀ and DOUBLE BY HALF in the …
El Ultimo Viaje
Edition of 300 The "Comisario Mendoza" trilogy from Spanish filmmaker José Antonio de la Loma is a very strange genre series with an informal bond established through the titular character who was played by a different actor in each of the movies. From the first film, La redada (aka Barcelona Kill, 1973, with John Justin as Mendoza) to the last, Metralleta Stein (1975, Francisco "Paco" Rabal as Mendoza, with El último viaje (1974, Eduardo Fajardo as Mendoza) in between, each film is relatively d…
Peccato Senza Malizia
Chris' Soundtrack Corner proudly presents the CD soundtrack to Peccato Senza Malizia (aka Sins Without Intentions, 1975), an elusive romantic drama by a similarly enigmatic albeit one-time filmmaker, Theo Campanelli.

Il Sorriso Del Ragno
* 2023 stock * Chris' Soundtrack Corner proudly presents the CD soundtrack to Il Sorriso Del Ragno, composed by Daniele Patucchi.

It's the only film directed by Massimo Castellani, who had better success as a script supervisor and a second unit or assistant director.
Based on a script writ…
