Il Nido Del Ragno
A selection of six tracks from “Spider Labyrinth” appeared for the first time, on CD “Porte aperte”, from the homonymous movie of director Gianni Amelio. Compared to the original stereo masters, there are nine more unpublished tracks. The author composed and directed a symphonic score which alternates dissonant and calm, suspended musics. This LP, of a total running time of 34:42 minutes, intends to be a sincere homage to Franco Piersanti’s Art.
Il Bisbetico Domato
The dear departed Detto Mariano wrote a very enjoyable comment, based on a love theme, that he retakes with pleasant instrumental variations alternated to funny tracks. The opening credits are introduced by the dance song “Step on dynamite” by “Clown”, which we will find later in two alternatives instrumental takes, and “La pigiatura”, performed by the choir with Patrizia Tapparelli, Mariano Perrella and Simona Aloisi. This latter track is the theme of the main movie scene, in which Elia dances …

Himawari
Meditative synthesizer work from former Ippu-Do keyboardist Akira Mitake. Created as soundtrack for NHK's 1987 documentary series on Japanese art history, Himawari represents a masterful exercise in restraint and space.

Sparse keyboards and subtle pads create atmospheric textures throu…
