Cinedelic Records present a reissue of Bruno Nicolai's Tempo Sospeso, originally released in 1975. Bruno Nicolai was a leading figure in the world of Italian soundtracks although he is primarily known for being the most important of Ennio Morricone's collaborators and his orchestra conductor in the period of Morricone's greatest productions in the '60s and '70s. But Nicolai's solo works are certainly not of lesser artistic relevance. Tempo Sospeso ("Suspended Time") is one of the most representative albums in the sense that it was produced by Nicolai in 1975 without any filters or restrictions, in the period of his greatest artistic maturity. The style of his thriller soundtracks of the time, such as 1971's The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave, 1972's The Red Queen Kills Seven Times (RED 209LP) and Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The Key, and 1975's Eyeball (RED 225C-LP), is evident here, as well as the vibe of the "electrified" western, thanks largely to the acid fuzz guitar of Alessandro Alessandroni. The instrumentation is varied and the maestro plays piano, harpsichord, organ, and synth. What is presented here is library music that is definitely above average. The new graphic design of this edition was created by Daniel Martin Diaz from Tucson, Arizona, known for his symbolist works that have been published in The LA Times, NY Times, Juxtapoz, High Fructose, and Low Rider Magazine, as well as four of his own art books. Inside the LP is a postcard/photo of maestro Nicolai, a portrait in front of his Moog. Comes in a solid cardboard cover.
