Few records capture the lost magic of Italian soundtrack minimalism with the stylistic punch and playful invention of America Amore Amaro, a collaboration between Remigio Ducros and Luciano Simoncini in the fabled year of 1977. Born in the fertile crucible of the “Edi-Pan” label and recently revived for seekers and samplers, the album is equal parts geographical homage, daydream, and cultural remix: a suite where each track feels like a new scene in a fantastical road movie, Italian musicians translating their feverish impressions of mid-'70s America through funk, jazz, and cinematic orchestrations.​

What sets America Amore Amaro apart is not mere virtuosity but the way Ducros and Simoncini sculpt sound as architectural space, every cut animated with tightly knitted drum breaks, luminous Fender Rhodes, hyperactive flute passages and cosmic Wah Wah guitar excursions. The mood is mercurial: stretching from stoned melancholy to exuberant horns, from Hip-Hop inflected breakbeats to pastoral flute interludes and all shades in between. In a catalogue renowned for sonic bricolage, this LP pushes further, orchestrating urban tension and rural reverie within a single arc. The record wears its cinematic origin proudly, inviting listeners to conjure street scenes, night drives, and utopian Americana as imagined by continental outsiders.​

Beyond the standout instrumental soloing, the compositions reveal rich layers of collaboration: Daniela Casa likely supplies some of the album’s otherworldly guitar fuzz and cosmic motifs, her presence weaving yet another thread into the swirling tapestry. The arrangements echo earlier works from both Ducros and Simoncini’s legendary associations (Arawak, Jason Black), yet here, the palette is more vivid and immediate, blending lush melodic lines with stoned rhythm sections, giving diggers and DJs classic samples to feed modern invention. America Amore Amaro does not rest in pastiche - instead, it reinvigorates the classic Italian library tradition by transforming the imaginary landscapes of ’70s America into living, breathing sound.​

As a limited vinyl artifact and contemporary rediscovery, America Amore Amaro remains a cornerstone for soundtrack lovers, collectors, and anyone drawn to the alchemy of place, memory, and sonic exploration. It is unvarnished nostalgia, sharp-eyed critique, and dreamy celebration—proof again that the best musical travelogues are written in vivid, unpredictable detail.
