Lesbo is a 1969 erotic film directed by Edoardo Mulargia, his only experiment in this genre within a filmography mostly focused on Western films and sentimental/romantic comedies. Calling "Lesbo" an underground film is practically an understatement, as no official home video releases of this movie seem to exist; its soundtrack instead has luckily survived to the present day and, given the caliber of its two composers, it could only be a terrific work. The friendship between Francesco De Masi and…

Beat Records returns with a new CD edition of Ennio Morricone's score for Il diavolo nel cervello, the 1972 psychological thriller directed by Sergio Sollima.

Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso is one of the most important scores in Piero Umiliani's lengthy career. He was an eclectic and internationally attentive artist, capable of genial expressions through jazz (I Soliti Ignoti), pop-funk (Baba Yaga, La Ragazza Fuoristrada), Western (Crisantemi Per Un Branco di carogne) and even electronic experimentation (such as his score for the unknown TV serial Il Mondo dei Romani, 1972).Director Luigi Scattini, whose partnership with Piero Umiliani was also a friendsh…

Restocked!! "Il mondo dei romani" is one of Maestro Piero Umiliani's most atypical sound library/synch albums, recorded in 1972 during a period of great electronic experimentation (partly because of production reasons, partly responding to an immense desire to express his creative skills). Unique in his discography, the album joins paradigmatic Roman classicism with the most genuine electronic experimentation, which in some parts reminds us of Kraftwerk. A great follow-up to the electro-synth so…

Restocked!! "Tra scienza e fantascienza", is an album of histrionic Piero Umiliani recorded under the pseudonym Moggi.

Timeless atmospheres, alien hypnotic sonorities, modern and charmingly retro, minimal and complex arranged with an impressive taste for the unknown substance the Maestro…
