A nice one from Italian soundtrack great Piero Piccioni – his work for the mid 70s film Tutto A Posto E Niente In Ordine – one that travels through a number of modes! There's a bit of jazz funk, more laidback numbers with easygoing horn, strings and piano arrangements and others with more stripped down grit! There's quite a bit of funk to be found throughout, especially in the drums, yet it's a fairly sprawling set that works in a number of the styles – all areas in which Piccioni excels! 28 tracks in all: "Traffic Boom", "La Ragazza Nella Vetrina", "Palazzo Del Ghiaccio", "La Bella Signira", "Adelina", "Tema Citta", "Sante Mariuccia Tango", "Per Le Strade", "Calzer Sul Palchetto" and many more.

A classic Italian score from Carlo Rustichelli – penned for a famous early comedy from Marcello Mastroianni! The mood of the film is a bit lighter than some of Marcello's with Fellini – and as a result, so is the soundtrack – put together with a mixture of sprightly melodies and older, warmer modes that really the Italian film score mode of the previous decade – but which are masterfully handled by Rustichelli with a tongue-in-cheek approach that's more of a parody of them than anything else! The blend is quite nice – and almost visual enough even without the images on the screen. Titles include "Divorzio", "Canto D'Amore", "Traffico", "Marcia Funebre", "Musica D'Amore", and "Serenata". This massive 2CD version is filled with material – 14 tracks from the original soundtrack, plus an insane 37 more bonus cuts!
