La Via Della Droga - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
*2022 stock* When Cinevox began reissuing the album catalog of Goblin in the late '90s, they also issued some new albums featuring Goblin soundtracks that had never been given a proper release. One of the most interesting albums from this group was La Via Della Droga, the soundtrack to a 1977 Italian crime thriller that chronicled the adventures of an undercover police officer as he infiltrated a European drug ring. The score plays down the horror theatrics that dominated chilling scores like Su…

La Stanza del Vescovo
La stanza del vescovo (aka The bishop’s bedroom - La chambre de l’évèque) is a dramatic movie directed in 1977 by Dino Risi and starring Ugo Tognazzi, Ornella Muti and Patrick Dewaere. For this film Armando Trovajoli wrote one of his most intense soundtracks.

M° Trovajoli arranged the classic…
Uno Scandalo Perbene
"Wonderful commentary by Riz Ortolani, author of a romantic and nostalgic theme, Uno Scandalo Perbene (Titoli), for strings and solo trumpet. The second track of the CD released by Cinevox, Amnesia, is along the same lines, with elliptical strings and sudden piano notes that cut through the thick fog of memories. While Vecchia Strada evokes the sound of an accordion, instrumental for the historical connotation of the work, the string section of Turbamento Ambiguo and Bruneri O Canella? overwhelm…

Zombi (Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film)
*2022 stock* This is the soundtrack of George Romero's classic nasty gore movie. Consequently some songs are directly in the vein of Goblin's proggy eccentricities, including bizarre arrangements and some others are totally reserved for the film and off course difficult to listen to outside of the context. The introduction theme figures among Goblin's ultimate classics, it delivers a massive, lugubrious atmosphere for doom bass lines, scary synth melodies and heavy drums. The title track takes b…
