The amazing Luis E. Bacalov/Ennio Morricone 1971 experimental album Pitturamusica reissued for the first time from the original master tapes. The two maestros created these compositions approaching the most advanced set of problems existing in the contemporary European musical experience. The basic modules are those proper to certain procedures of musique concrète: the non-traditional use of instruments for timbre research (e.g. the piano played on the tailpiece), the processing of human voices -- almost always reduced to pure linguistic syntagms in polyphonic combinations, the highlighting of a whole series of noise-sounds which are not audible except through electro-acoustic devices, etc. Subsequently, the sound complex -- stored on magnetic tape -- is divided into separate sections, according to a criterion of timbre distribution, and then manipulated through superimpositions, variations in the speed of the tape, natural and artificial echoes, and other processes. The music was composed on the occasion of an exhibition of the painter Edolo Masci in Milan. Edition of 150.

At the time of the film's release only a 45rpm single of this original soundtrack was issued which contained the song "Can Be Done", with lyrics by Sergio Bardotti and sung by Rocky Roberts (in 1966, Luis Bacalov had already collaborated with Roberts, performer of the main theme from the highly successful 2012 western movie Django). Only in 1995, Point Records released a CD which contained the instrumental score coupled with the OST from Il Grande Duello. For this issue, Digitmovies' new digitally restored and remastered record, the label had access to the mono master tapes of the recording session which gave them the chance to discover some unreleased takes which we have assembled in a nearly eight-minute suite. In addition, a special bonus track features the very rare stereo-mixed version of the original 45rpm single song. Luis Bacalov succeeds in representing in his music the whole sentimental side of the plot (the friendship between the corpulent, but good-hearted Thompson and the child Chip) by writing a sweet and cheerful main theme that is introduced in the opening credits in a pop key and with a little Bacharach flavor called "Can Be Done", sung by Rocky Roberts and accompanied by a children's choir. This theme is reprised with orchestral variations sometimes dramatically, sometimes in an epic western context with the use of the harmonica of the great Franco De Gemini and alternated with saloon as well as instrumental and choir folk music. This CD is dedicated to all the fans of the mythic Bud Spencer, of the Italian Western, and the music art of the Academy Award winner Luis Bacalov.

Restocked, lower pricing. Cinedelic Records present a reissue of Luis Enriquez Bacalov's soundtrack for L'amica, originally released in 1969. L'amica is an intriguing Alberto Lattuada film starring Lisa Gastoni (portrayed in the cover photo of the LP), Gabriele Ferzetti, Elsa Martinelli, Ray Lovelock, Jean Sorel and Frank Wolff. The music is by one of the greatest pianists, composers, conductors and arrangers in the world of soundtracks, the Argentine naturalized Italian, Luis Enríquez Bacalov. Bacalov has authored music for countless high-level films including La Seduzione (1973) Quién Sabe? (1966), Django (1966), Roma Bene (1971) and Milano Calibro 9 (1972). He also won an Oscar for The Postman (1995). The soundtrack of L'amica from the title track highlights the excellent piano technique and the jazz vein of the maestro mixed with exotic and erotic atmospheres characterized by extraordinary orchestration, harp, congas and the typical persuasive vocalism of those years (all by the great Nora Orlandi). It's followed by "Rio, Zona Sul", refined samba-jazz on a massive percussive tapestry. "'Round Nassau" offers an elegant and dreamy atmosphere in Les Baxter's style adding flute and female wordless vocals. "Swingin' Easy In Tanganyika" is another extraordinary jazzy piano and drums with flute melody sideways. The side is closed by a previously unpublished version of the theme that was not included on the original Fonit Cetra LP. The B-side rearranges the themes in a more melancholy and symphonic style without renouncing jazz as in the gem "Episodio In 3/4". The ballad "The Bitter Truth" is sung by Fiorenza Mormile in English. Recorded at Italian RCA studios with engineer Sergio Marcotulli. Includes two bonus tracks not on the original release.
