I’d already known Sergio Martino for some years, as his team produced another cult film by director Lucio Fulci, "Paura nella città dei morti viventi" (aka "City of the living dead") in 1980. The following year, Sergio decided to produce a movie with a compelling plot, a psychological thriller with horror elements. The film was set in Volterra and its surrounding neighborhoods, which at one time were the political and social heart of Etruscan society. The main theme of the score is a piece …

In 1963, when Ennio Morricone composed the music of "La fidanzata del bersagliere", he was only 34 years, but the signs of what would become, like in other previous works, are all there. And this "La fidanzata del bersagliere", is, as far as we can tell, the only job that Morricone has created for the playhouse so-called "light". At that moment, Ennio Morricone is best known and appreciated for the arrangements of some pop music albums of Edoardo Vianello, Luigi Tenco, Rita Pavone, Gianni Morand…
In May 1980 the Italian Radio and Television, RAI, put on air on the TV national network a program on the water, a very hot topic.

The shooting of "Il Pianeta d'Acqua" brought him to travel a good part of the world. Maestro Ennio Morric…

This soundtrack composed and conducted by Ennio Morricone is just as such intense as any other score composed by the Master. This music involves the audience so deeply inside the plot. It captures the viewers mind, and makes them to share in the drama from the first to the last shot of the movie. Maestro Morricone is not new to this kind of magic. If we close our eyes and we indulge in our memories, we will have the feeling of famous notes, such as those of Once Upon a Time in the West, Metti un…
The film music composed by Maestro Piero Umiliani is very appropriate, the orchestration is really good and the workmanship is excellent.

'Superimpositions' is the hyper-coloured conceptual follow-up to multi-disciplinary Milanese artist, Lorenzo Senni's landmark LP, 'Quantum Jelly' (Editions Mego, 2012). It further consolidates, accelerates and evolves his idea of "Pointillistic Trance" - an ascetic, extreme approach to the aesthetic essence of '90s-style trance/hard-trance - with a broader range of song structures, minimalist moiré patterns, and tantric dancefloor arrangements, all executed to visceral impact and challenging, ex…
