A great little soundtrack from Ennio Morricone with an overall dreamy feel to the best numbers on the set!

Contemporaneamente
A pure beauty! Unreleased before experimental music composed by Ennio Morricone and mostly performed by the legendary Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, with some surprising use of percussions, vocals and electronics too! The maestro has used electric instrumentation on other scores, but this one has a pretty different feel – a handful of tracks that have more of a future-sounding quality, with a spacious mix of light strings and more sparely focused instrumentation. Other numbers get …
Amanti D'Oltretomba
** in restock** First time on vinyl ever, released on 180g coloured vinyl.

Tepepa
Although this wasn't directed by but Sergio Leone, but by the less known Giulio Petroni, "Tepepa" is one of the best films in the spaghetti western genre, thanks to a perfect synopsis - even if as set in the 'abused' Mexican Revolution of the early '900 - to a trio of exceptional actors and, finally, to Ennio Morricone's soundtrack.

Queimada
A very dark little score by Ennio Morricone – written for an obscure 1969 period film that starred Marlon Brando (and a very disheveled Brando at that!) – filled with cool tunes that mix the Morricone western mode with some haunting elements that almost have a spiritual approach! Many numbers have these moody, airy notes floating through – on organ on some of the best cuts – and even the overall orchestrations tend to hang in the air, but with a lightness that's often different than the …
