CAM/Cinedelic (Italy), 1965. New Copy
An amazing set of modern jazz -- penned by Italian film composer Piero Umiliani, but also played by a very hip group headed by a young Gato Barbieri! Although Gato's probably best known for his late 60s appearances on the American scene, and his 70s dates for Impulse and Flying Dutchman -- his

Easy Tempo (Italy), 1975. New Copy
One of the coolest Italian soundtracks we've heard in a long time -- a wonderful set of tunes that moves from slinky, to easy, to groovy, and beyond! The tunes start out bubbling very spare and slow -- with floating piano, moog, and other nice bits -- and as the record progresses, the sound gets

Cinevox (Italy), 1969. New Copy
Quite possibly the greatest Morricone score ever -- and one whose dreamy bossa-inflected title theme has been covered a number of times over the years (most recently by the group Balanco!) From the first minutes of the album, you'll instantly recognize the main theme -- as it's swells of voices
...
|
GDM/Cinedelic (Italy), 1968. New Copy
2 of the grooviest soundtracks ever recorded by this Italian genius! For the score to the mod 60s film Il Profeta, Trovajoli adds in some great elements like twanging guitars, trippy sitar, and hammond organ -- all of which groove along in kind of a "go go" mode on the set's best numbers
...
|
GDM (Italy), 1974. New Copy
A surprisingly great Morricone soundtrack -- written for Pasolini's film of Arabian Nights, and scored with an equally dark edge! The feel of the music is incredibly somber -- with spare organ passages that rumble with dark bass-y notes and push sound off into space, next to moodier sections that
...
|
Cinevox (Italy), 1969. New Copy
Sublime work from Piero Piccioni -- a really Morricone-like soundtrack, and one that's filled with hauntingly beautiful melodies! There's a lightly gliding feel to the record that's really wonderful -- light lines on organ, topped with wordless vocals from Edda Dell'Orso and I Cantori Moderni,
...
|
Cinevox (Italy), 1960. New Copy
A beautifully jazzy score from the great Piero Piccioni -- penned for this obscure Italian film about 4 prostitutes who decide to reform and open a restaurant! Piccioni's soundtrack shares many styles with American jazz soundtracks of the late 50s -- including a strong use of spare instrumentation

Right Tempo (Italy), 1973/1998. New Copy
Fantastic! Easy Tempo scores again with this beautiful rerelease/repackaging of Gianni Ferrio's lost score for the film Una Farfalla Con Le Ali Insanguinate. The music has lots of spare spooky keyboards, with a slow building sound that's similar to Francis Lai's best soundtrack work, and a warm
...

Capitol/DRG, 1959/1960. New Copy
A killer 2-in-1 CD -- featuring two rare Capitol albums from Elmer Bernstein! Staccato is a great lost crime jazz soundtrack -- penned by Elmer Bernstein in the style of some of his best work from the 50s, with a really jazzy feel throughout! There's a real Man With The Golden Arm feel here -- as

Easy Tempo (Italy), 1971. New Copy (reissue)
A fab little soundtrack from one of our favorite Italian composers -- a lost gem originally issued in 1971, with a very groovy sound! The score has Piero Umiliani picking up a bit more funk than usual -- working with electric bass and keyboards to come up with some totally great tracks that kind
...
|
GDM (Italy), 1978. New Copy
One of the most striking Morricone scores we've ever heard -- a record that's based around 2 different themes, one breathy and sexy, the other quirky and electronic! The title theme of "Crescente E Motltiplicatevi" is very much in the Mondo Morricone mode -- slow, slinky horn passages
...
|
Cinevox (Italy), 1970. New Copy
A rare spaghetti western score from Piero Umiliani -- an Italian composer we usually know best for bossa or more jazz-oriented scores, but who sounds right at home in this genre too! The album's got a sound that really shows the full range of Umiliani's talents -- a few western-styled numbers with
...
|
Right Tempo (Italy), 1971. New Copy
One of the most haunting Morricone soundtracks ever -- and one of the grooviest too! The album's a perfect blend of our two favorite styles of Morricone work -- that of the floating female vocal over a gentle groove, and the darker, tenser side of his music. The main "Verushka" theme is

|
Cinevox (Italy), 1969. New Copy
Wonderful work from one of the grooviest soundtrack composers ever! At the end of the 60s, Piero Umiliani wrote some of the best film scores to come out of the Italian scene -- and this little gem, long out of print, is certainly one of them! The album's got some beautifully jazzy numbers --

|
Cinevox (Italy), 1969. New Copy
One of the greatest soundtracks we've ever heard from Piero Umiliani -- an incredibly groovy record from the very first note! The score's got a fantastic mix of groovy scoring, jazzy bits, and cool little vocals -- spare organ lines that set the tune on most numbers, stepping basslines to set the

|
Easy Tempo (Italy), 1970. New Copy 2LP
One of the best Italian scores we've heard in ages! The soundtrack is one of the best-ever by the great Piero Piccioni -- and it's a swirling mix of organ riffs, soulful tenor, and throbbing basslines. Some tracks burst out with a heavy groovy sound, while others hang back in a pensive jazzy kind
...
|
Cinevox (Italy), 1979. New Copy
Rare work by Morricone -- tracks from two different comedies from 1979, most of which have never been issued before! Only 2 or 3 songs from each movie were ever released -- and even then, only briefly, as 45rpm singles -- which means that the bulk of this 32 track set is showing up for the first
