This one's got it all – fuzzy instrumentals, sweet harmonies, and some nice trippy parts too – all wrapped up in a set that's easily one of the best Tower Records rock soundtracks of the 60s! Most of the schlocky biker soundtracks from the time are already pretty darn great – but ... read moreCD

Some fairly groovy stuff by composer Luis Bacalov, who's usually more known for straighter stuff in the soundtrack vein. Ricatto Alla Mala has a few tracks performed by The Country Lovers, who seem to be a groovy 60's style vocal group with a sound that's similar to Free Design. Other tracks have ... read moreCD
Burt Bacharach and Hal David's sole entry into the musical genre – a weird little musical that's based on the film The Apartment! The record's a lot less "Broadway" than you might think – and often handled with the same sly syncopated style of Bacharach's regular pop work ... read moreCD
Great stuff! Pierre Bachelet did the groovy music for this sexy film based on the Story Of O – and the tracks are a perfect blend of moody instrumental French soundtrack material. The vibe is very spacey, with a dreamy rainy afternoon sound – with nice touches of electronics, and a ... read moreCD

One of the greatest moments ever from saxophonist Gato Barbieri – and that's saying a lot, given that by the time of this recording, he'd already had a great 60s run as an avant jazz musician, and started the 70s with a string of albums that criss-crossed jazz and South American musical ... read moreCD
An incredibly groovy soundtrack that's also one of the best-ever scores written by John Barry – a masterpiece of jazzy scoring that never gets old! There's some wicked use of Hammond in the main theme – played by Brit jazzer Alan Haven – a catchy little groove that dances nicely ... read moreCD
Quite a shift for John Barry – not the usual groovy music you might expect, and instead a somewhat serious score written for this historical epic written and directed by James Clavell, starring Omar Sharif and Michael Caine! The sound is still wonderful, though – proof that Barry was ... read moreCD
The spookier side of Les Baxter – an amazing soundtrack penned for the film debut of director Mario Bava! The film was somewhat notorious in the US, but was actually from Italy – and it's got a quality that's darker than even the darkest of the Italian horror classics of the time ... read moreCD
A nude panther? This one already had our attention with the title – and once we heard the music, things got even better – a very groovy blend of jazz and 60s elements by Sandro Brugnolini & Luigi Malatesta – put together in modes that rival some of the better-known Italian ... read moreCD

Two funky groovers from Chaquito – aka John Gregory, a very groovy British arranger of the 70s! Spies & Dolls is a cool 70s update on the sort of album that came out often in the 60s – but instead of the usual James Bond themes, this one features a lot more funky action – ...

Stelvio Cipriani at his slinky 70s best – serving up a soundtrack that's maybe got a lot more class and care than you'd guess from the schlocky image on the cover! As with some of Cipriani's love-oriented scores of the time, the keyboard work here is sublime – either great electric ... read moreCD
A wicked double-header – a pair of rare French vampire soundtracks, packaged together in a single CD! First up is Fascination – a totally cool score from Philippe D'Aram – one that's heavy on electronics, amidst the usual horror movie moods – which gives the music a cold, ... read moreCD
A surprisingly groovy soundtrack to a cheesy little Sinbad-esque film – with a really thumping electric groove melded with more exotic sounds! The work was done Guido & Maurizio De Angelis – a sequel to the Sandokan film from the previous year – with loads of chiming little ... read moreCD
Very nicely produced compilation of tracks from the mid 60's French comedies of actor Louis De Funes. Most of the material on here is from his "Gendarme" series of films, and all of the tracks are composed by Raymond Lefevre, with a tight groovy mid 60's sound. There's lots of poppy ... read moreCD
Haunting western work from Francesco De Masi – a film score that mixes nice bits of electric guitar and bass in with the larger orchestrations! A number of tracks here also used some great harmonica, too – very much in the best Morricone-styled sound of the period, but warmed up in ... read moreCD
A trio of Italian western soundtracks from Francesco De Masi – one of the greatest composers of the genre! L'Uomo Della Valle Maledetta is from the mid 60s – and has a style that's relatively traditional – with strings filling out most of the backgrounds, and bold horns or ... read moreCD

A sexy Euro soundtrack from the 70s – penned for a film that's apparently filled with lots of scantily clad showgirls! The style is totally sweet – often heavy on the keyboards, or on the strings – slightly slinky one minute, then soaring to the skies in a Love Unlimited ... read moreCD
Kind of a painful movie, but a pretty sweet soundtrack! The set features a number of new works produced by Deodato, very much in the spirit of his Inutil Paisagem 60s bossa recordings – with wonderfully complex airy melodies, and a touch so light you can't believe there's actually a ...

Fantastic soundtrack work for the Stranger Things series from Netflix – a narrative set in the early 80s, and scored here with a sound that really gets that era right! This isn't schlocky 80s keyboard work, nor some sort of easy retro motif – and instead, the team of Kyle Dixon and ... read moreCD

A very spooky soundtrack – and one that stands out as one of the best-remembered from this important second generation of Italian horror! The record's got less of the atonal orchestrations and funk/thriller modes of a few years before – and moves into the spare, eerie quality that John ... read moreCD

A pair of soundtracks from the great Neal Hefti – both quite different, but working well together here as a single CD! Oh Dad Poor Dad is great grooviness from Hefti – working here at the height of his 60s powers! The film stars Robert Morse, Barbara Harris, and Jonathan Winters ... read moreCD
