This is the small combo recording of tracks from the legendary jazz score to I Want To Live!

A great little score for a well-titled movie – given that Scent Of Mystery was the very first film ever issued in "Smell-O-Vision"! The film's big theatrical gimmick was that screenings were accompanied by a variety of odors to match the action or setting on the screen – but ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Bruno Nicolai's at his most Morricone-esque with this one – and has crafted a dreamy set of tunes that hardly matches the dark Satanist thriller they were recorded for!
