A collection of themes and songs from iconic Hollywood westerns -- films starring John Wayne and directed by John Ford -- with bits from Stagecoach, Fort Apache, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, Three Godfathers, Rio Grande, The Searchers and Horse Soldiers. Despite the western theme, anyone and Wayne's ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 -- ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

One of the heaviest soundtracks scored by Goblin during the 70s -- with lots of funky club influences, and a funky disco sound on a number of tracks that feature vocals by the great European club diva Asha Pulthi. Pulthi sings on the tracks "The Whip" and "The Sound Of Money", ...

A standout score from Piero Piccioni -- quite different than some of his other work of the time, and filled with really unique instrumental touches! The feel of the record varies nicely from track to track -- so that one tune features a whistling solo in the lead, another has "metallic" ...

Rare work from composer Robby Poitevin -- pulled from two groovy Italian films of the late 60s! Tecnica Di Un Omicidio is a great action score, put together with a heavy dose of jazz -- great vibes, flute, and plenty of other horns -- blasting out with a hip style over lots of tight percussion -- ...

A train-based thriller, with a very tense score from Morricone -- one that often makes you feel the movement of the train in its rhythms -- then intercuts the music with some really moody moments! The mix of quick-rolling and slow-moving elements is really great -- and creates a feel that's unlike ...

An incredible soundtrack from Morricone's best period ever! The score has that totally sublime Morricone quality that you'll find on on a small handful of his best works -- like La Donna Invible, Photo Prohibite, Le Casse, and Metti Una Sera A Cena -- and it's filled with amazingly precise ...

A cool little western score -- served up with a great mix of dark moods and lighter touches -- all composed and conducted by Gianfranco Di Stefano, with a sound that's a bit more complex than the usual soundtrack of the time! There's less of the driving western modes than you might expect -- and ...

A western soundtrack with a different twist -- one that definitely shares some of the darker aspects of the crime score work by Gianni Ferrio! There's a few hard-driving themes, but most of the tracks are pretty spare, short, and moody -- almost melancholy at points, with great spare instrumental ...

The kind of sexy Morricone soundtrack we really really love! This overlooked gem is a sweet 70s side -- written for a love story starring Marcello Mastroianni and Nastassja Kinski, and done with the lightly erotic touches that make even Morricone's prettiest melodies extremely haunting and edgey. ...

A lovely little orchestral score from Ennio Morricone -- penned for a period piece, and handled with the same depth of feeling as some of the maestro's bigger film soundtracks from the 80s! Although full, the orchestrations still have a good sense of space -- those fragile moments that always make ...

Spare and spooky -- and a cool Italian soundtrack for this horror film that's also known (alternately) as The Blade Of The Ripper, The Next Victim, Next, and The Strange Vice Of Mrs Ward. The style is kind of a mixture of Piccioni and Morricone -- as some tracks have a spare, moody, evocative ...

Jazzy magic throughout -- an ultra-cool Italian spy film score from the great Piero Piccioni -- and a great blend of his jazz-based roots and some of the groovier styles he was using in the late 60s! Instrumentation is mostly acoustic -- trumpet, flute, piano, bass, and drums -- but all used in ...

2 killer Italian soundtracks back to back -- both of them wonderful, and a heck of a bargain at this price -- given all the music on the set! First up is L'Uomo Dagli Occhi Di Ghiaccio -- a score released in 1971, but with all the best jazzy modes of Italian work from the late 60s -- upbeat and ...

One of the funkiest soundtracks we've ever heard from Alessandro Alessandroni -- a set that clearly shows he'd been listening to the score for Shaft, as well as a host of 70s sound library music too! There's lots of great Italian cop/crime grooves on the set -- done at an understated level that's ...

A really crazy little book -- one that's filled with sexy images from Italian comedies of the 60s and 70s -- and packaged with a special CD to match! The book itself is practically softcore porn (so be aware of that, you sensitive viewers!) -- 326 full color pages with images from the films, most ...

Well, the soundtrack's not one of Quincy's funkiest, but it does include some nice moments -- especially on some of the more African-inflected numbers. Features performances from James Cleveland, Letta Mbulu, and Bill Summers -- and tracks include "Many Rains", "Free At Last", ...

Nice Quincy Jones soundtrack for the first "Mr. Tibbs" film. Roland Kirk's in the orchestra, and you can hear him nicely in a soul jazz groove on a number of tracks. Titles include "Whipping Boy", "Nitty Gritty Time", "Shag Bag, Hounds & Harvey", "B ...

A sexy little soundtrack from Piero Piccioni -- penned for an early 80s film, but done with a slinky style that's pure Euro 70s all the way! Keyboards mix nicely with strings on many tracks -- almost in a way that Piccioni seems to borrow from American soul maestros of the previous decade -- but ...

Dark echoes, mixed with warmer moments -- in a compelling little soundtrack that breaks from more familiar Morricone modes! There's a few themes here that almost echo a Mondo Morricone style -- but other tracks are often quite spare, and almost earthy -- far at the limits of hearing, with odd ...

A great look at one of the first really big international moments for the music of Ennio Morricone -- his famous film scores for director Sergio Leone! Morricone and Leone worked together on many western classics -- such as Once Upon A Time In The West, For A Few Dollars More, My Name Is Nobody, ...

Fantastic funkiness! Although Les Baxter's best known for his easy listening work in the late 50's/early 60's, this 1969 biker flick soundtrack is a motherlode of funky funky tracks, and a veritable cornucopia of breakbeats! Highlights include the classics "Hogin' Machine" and "Hot ...

A darkly beautiful score from Riz Ortolani -- quite different than some of his better known lighter work of the 60s, and with a really moody undercurrent on most of the set! The instrumentation is nicely offbeat -- fuzzy guitar turned down a few notches on the theme -- strings tuned oddly on ...

A trio of Armando Trovajoli soundtracks -- all of them somewhat short, but plenty darn groovy when packed together on this single CD! First up is Il Magnifico Cornuto -- a score that often has a somewhat spare instrumental approach, and some slight Latin and jazz touches too -- used in ways that ...

The funky freaky soundtrack to Ralph Bakshi's animated feature Fritz The Cat -- a really messed-up little film based around the original character created by Robert Crumb! Like the movie, the album's got a very skittish kind of feel -- leaping from one genre to the next with each different track -- ...

A funky classic from Galt MacDermot! The record is Galt's score for the blacksploitation film that starred Godfrey Cambridge and Raymond St Jacques -- and it's a mix of vocal and instrumental tunes that takes off from the sound of his late 60s work. Melba Moore sings on a few cuts -- and others ...

One of the most insanely wonderful soundtracks from the late 60's -- filled with weird instrumental touches and sublimely groovy vocals that really match the mad spirit of the film! Although Bob Crewe's best known for his work as a producer for bigger names in the 60s, he really shines here on ...

A moody late 80s score from Ennio Morricone -- penned for a Nicolas Cage thriller known in the US as Time To Kill! The music is often quite mellow -- that mature mode that Morricone hit in the decade, when it seemed that his style was even more sonically sensitive than ever -- really rising up ...

A lesser-known Morricone soundtrack -- written for this obscure western film! A number of tunes have that spooky "whistler" style of writing that we love from Morricone -- spare whistling over darker orchestrations -- in ways that create some spare and wonderful passages that are ...

Fantastic and stylistically sprawling grooves from Italian soundtrack guru Stelvio Cipriani -- his score for the mid 70s television work Dov E Anna -- which ranges from small combo, dancefloor ready jazz funk, to lush strings and piano peppered dramatic movements, to spare and suspenseful bits of ...

One of Lalo Schifrin's greatest soundtracks ever -- a gem of a TV score that's been lost for years -- and not nearly as famous or well-reissued as Mission Impossible, Bullitt, or Enter The Dragon! The tunes are pure Schifrin all the way through -- a mix of jazz, bossa, and funk -- served up with a ...

Dark genius from Ennio Morricone -- a crime soundtrack, but one that's filled with beautifully spare moments! In a way, the feel here is a bit like his work for Le Casse/The Burglars/Gli Scassinatori -- tunes that are spacious, with subtle instrumentation -- and lots of room in between the rhythms ...
