From Guy Skornik, the composer and arranger behind Popera Cosmic and Pour Pauwels (1971), comes the enigmatic instrumental cues that provided fellow existentialist and notorious auteur director Alejandro Jodorowsky (The Holy Mountain, 1973) with the soundtrack music to what is now considered his rarest and most overlooked feature film, Tusk (1980). As part as Finders Keepers' ongoing dedicated Jodorowsky soundtrack series, the label present the original film edits from the 1979 studio sessions featuring Steve Hillage (Gong) and members of Cossi Anatz. Following his mind-melting masterpieces Fando & Lis (1968), El Topo (1970), and The Holy Mountain, Jodorowsky's "disowned" attempt at a family film retains the director's ongoing demand for intense, experimental film music resulting in what is undeniably one the best kept sonic secrets from the darker corners of this coveted filmography. Cherry-picked from pre-recorded synthesizer-fueled, cosmic pop sessions by Skornik, these compositions provided Tusk with arabesque new age synthesis alongside full-blown ambitious electro rock, as well as classic French Fender Rhodes-driven romanticism during some of this lesser-spotted movie's most memorable moments. Presented here in isolation, Guy Skornik's multifarious futurist-pop evokes worthy comparisons to Ash Ra Tempel, Eno's Bowie and Suzanne Ciani, mapping an unlikely journey between Magma and 10cc in the process. Don't ignore Jodorowsky's "elephant in the room" -- you never know what is hidden in the trunk. Tusk not only unearths a lesser-known Jodorowsky gem, but forms another spiritual circle in the label's alternative pop universe, forming new twines in the Finders Keepers family tree.

Joe Jackson finished the Night And Day tour in May 1983. He had been asked to contribute a song to Mike's Murder, a film written and directed by James Bridges. He ended up writing both a handful of songs and a few instrumental pieces that were released on a soundtrack album in September. Unfortunately, the film itself was not ready for release then, since it was the subject of a dispute between Bridges and the movie studio that had financed it, the result being re-shooting and reediting, such that the film did not open until March 1984, by which time it had a score by John Barry and only a little of Jackson's music remaining, and then it earned only one-million dollars during a few weeks of theatrical showings, making it a disastrous flop. The orphaned soundtrack album, however, managed to get into the Top 100 and even spawned a chart single in the Jackson composition "Memphis", while "Breakdown" earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.

Digitmovies release the first complete edition CD of Carlo Rustichelli's original soundtrack for the giallo comedy film The Almost Perfect Crime (original title: Delitto Quasi Perfetto). Carlo Rustichelli (December 25, 1916 Carpi - November 13, 2004 Rome) wrote a mysterious score of pure suspense with strings and organ pieces. The author alternates gloomy atmospheres with wild surf lounge-style music and a recurring melody with trumpets and orchestra, which you might think of as a "cousi"" to the movie Blood and Black Lace (Sei Donne Per L'assissino) directed by Mario Bava in 1964. This soundtrack also contains the hit song "E Se Domani" ("And If Tomorrow") by G. Calabrese and C.A. Rossi in an instrumental jazz-blues club version beautifully arranged by Rustichelli. C.A.M. previously released a single with two tracks specially assembled by the author using various takes. For Digitmovies' full-length CD, the label was able to access the mono master tapes from the original recording session, with Bruno Nicolai as conductor. This is another CD which can be added to the ever-growing discography of the venerated maestro Carlo Rustichelli.

In a small village in Emilia, pastor Don Camillo (Terence Hill) and Communist Mayor Peppone (Colin Blakely) are from opposing political factions and are invaluable friend/enemies. They clash at every opportunity, which often ends up in a fight -- as in the case of the football game played by teams which they had trained. Obviously, the mayor is not happy with Don Camillo's behavior and threatens to transfer him to a remote mountain village. This is a remake of the movie Don Camillo (1952) by Julien Duvivier. It was Terence Hill's first time behind the camera and he wanted to make the action between Don Camillo and Peppone take on a more modern feel, which better suited his style. The story is set in recent times, with a sportier priest (he skates in the church), and embellished with classic fist-fights (as in the football game scene). There are also some small cameos by famous Italian ex-footballers, including Roberto Boninsegna, Roberto Pruzzo, Luciano Spinosi, and Carlo Ancelotti. Ancelotti was a soccer player for A.S. Roma and former coach of teams such as Juventus, Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid. He is now the current coach of Bayern Munich. Music by Pino Donaggio; Conductor: Natale Massara; Producer: Roberto Danè. In this new edition Digitmovies honor the original editing of the album released in 1984 by Senso Unico.

1929 - Das Jahr Babylon marks Thomas Fehlmann's third full-length release of 2018 and presents what appears to be a creative peak in a career that spans beyond his solo work to his early days in Palais Schaumburg, collaborating with Moritz von Oswald as 3MB to his long time work with The Orb. Having left The Orb in late 2017 has set free unforeseen energies in Fehlmann's studio. A departure from his recent dance floor-friendly album Los Lagos (KOMP 148CD/KOM 388LP), 1929 - Das Jahr Babylon is a film soundtrack from the documentary that aired on ARD network on September 30, 2018 and is now available as a podcast series. To complement the internationally-lauded TV series Berlin Babylon, German director Volker Heise has created a documentary about 1929, the fateful year during Germany's Weimarer Republik in which Berlin Babylon is set. Heise's stirring documentary portrays Germany's sizzling capital faced with radical changes by the dark forces about to toss the world into the abyss of World War II. This marks the second time that Fehlmann is partnering with Heise after 2010's marathon documentary 24 Stunden Berlin which was released as Gute Luft (KOMP 081CD, KOM 211LP) in the same year. Fehlmann's composition for 1929 consists of sample material taken from the era and thwarts the exaggerated lust for life with threatening undertones that anticipate the dawn of mankind's darkest chapter so far. Although all the sounds breathe yesterday's atmosphere this soundtrack bursts with modernity. Fehlmann accomplished the daring feat to musically render the unsettling resemblance between the political situation 90 years ago and our current time. KOMPAKT feels that Fehlmann's score has turned out spectacularly enough to give it proper release.

Alec Cheer's Night Kaleidescope is an incredible modern techno-based score to an underground psychedelic detective vampire indie drama. So there. There is little history here as this is a new release, but this is simply an amazing modern score to a 2017 film one may never have heard about (directed by Grant McPhee). What sets this score apart is its clinical post-modern feel, with influences including Mica, John Carpenter, Brian Eno, Goblin, Fabio Frizzi, even whispers of the 1980s, as well as a musical feel a little like the classic Drive (2011) soundtrack. Yet with all these influences, composer Cheer somehow manages to create a new work that sounds unlike any other. It's dark, bewitching, mesmerizing, ear-catching and even "banging" in parts. Look, it must be good, otherwise Jonny Trunk would not be pressing it. And with a spelling mistake too. Full color eye-catching minimal sleeve.

Digitmovies release, for the first time on CD, the complete edition of Piero Piccioni's original sound track for the drama The Big Night (aka Bad Girls Don't Cry, original title La Notte Brava). Piero Piccioni (1921-2004) wrote and directed this score where jazz and blues create the right atmosphere for the young protagonists of the story. Originally, not a single note was released from this prestigious soundtrack. Digitmovies' CD was possible thanks to the mono master tapes from the original recording session. Maestro Piccioni composed a recurring main score which is introduced in the opening credits and reprised in different versions: slow for bassoons, with horns, a fast swing, and with the addition of female voices. Piero Piccioni alternates this with numerous dance melodies like the mambo, rock n'roll, swing, tango, and the song with a female voice, "Hello You", which is reprised in an instrumental version. The inner side of the main characters is emphasized by very evocative passages. This album is another masterpiece by Piero Piccioni which has finally been recovered and preserved on CD forever. Edition of 300.

The late great Italian film director Michelangelo Antonioni, perhaps most famous in the English world for Blowup (1966), Zabriskie Point (1970), and The Passenger (1975), created his most arresting work, the so-called "trilogy on modernity and its discontents" in the early 1960s. Comprised of 1960's L'Avventura, 1961's La Notte, and 1962's L'Eclisse, this is not a narrative trilogy, but instead a stylistic one. With music from the brilliant composers Giorgio Gaslini, and Giovanni Fusco this is an essential collection and a beautiful look into the sonic world of Antonioni's most brilliant work.

Founded in early '70s by historical RAI TV trumpeter and composer Cicci Santucci (Looking Around (1971), On The Underground Road (1971)), New Tape grew up during the golden period of Italian music production and was dedicated to experimentation of new forms of sound, always hailing from the solid jazz base of the musicians and inspired by theme music. Andrea Galtieri aka Cavalier Piscopo has sequenced the very best shots from the label's production and included exclusive liner notes, creating an explosive mix of jazz-rock, bossa, spellbinding grooves, and raw experimental stuff. "A leading figure in the Italian jazz scene, Santucci worked as trumpeter in the legendary RAI TV orchestra for over 20 years. He was renowned for collaborations with such jazz legends as Lionel Hampton, Gato Barbieri, and Kenny Clarke, until his foray into the avant-garde with The Living Music, a project founded by his brother Umberto. During these same years, he took part in important Italian jazz sessions like Looking Around and On The Underground Road, with Enzo Scoppa. It was just around this period that Cicci founded his own label, New Tape. His goal was to dedicate himself to composing library music with a new expression, less linked to hard bop or American standards, but more focused on the sounds of the time that brought the listener closer to modern vibes, like jazz-rock and the avant-garde. Mixed Grill opens this series, by the maestro's alias, Girosan, along with Lesiman (aka Paolo Renosto). Rengran Mix (1971) and Tropical (1972) followed, with music by Renosto and Romolo Grano. This work gave way to electronic instrumentation, and was built on a rich rhythmical carpet -- tropical percussion, rock and blues-inspired vibes, sleazy psych, and jazz improvisations. The label's most important production was the fourth album, Mirage (1971) by Santucci and Enzo, an explosive mix of elegant jazz, funk, and psychedelia. The last album of the series is Appunti Di Guerra (1971) by the mysterious Ruscigan, an obscure alias which probably belongs to Renosto and Guido Baggiani. This work features complex and dramatic sounds composed for war scenes and gloomy atmospheres, with a large assortment of percussion, distorted effects, and tape manipulation, foreshadowing industrial music. With pressings of only 100 copies per title, New Tape is among the most interesting discoveries to date in terms of original production library music." --Andrea Galtieri. Edition of 500, 180 gram vinyl in heavy cardboard packaging.

Digitmovies rerelease, on a triple-CD set, Fiorenzo Carpi's complete original soundtrack for the TV drama Le Avventure Di Pinocchio ("The Adventures of Pinocchio") in full stereo, directed in 1972 by Luigi Comencini. At the time the C.A.M. issued a 33rpm containing eighteen tracks and a 45rpm single with two tracks. The album material was re-released in France on an LP and on another vinyl with music and dialogues narrated by Genevieve Casile. C.A.M. reissued on CD for the first time ever, the content of the vintage 33rpm in 1991, in its series Cam's Soundtrack Encyclopedia and in 2005 with a new music suite. For the production of Digitmovies' triple-CD set, the label were able to access the master tapes in full stereo of the recording session of the time which allowed them to use every note recorded in 1972, under the direction of the fabulous orchestra conductor Bruno Nicolai (who had also handled the arrangements). An open sea of music... the label almost felt like the puppet Pinocchio who desperately swims in front of the monstrous jaws of the whale; experience of recovery, edit, sequence, and restoration really tiring and unprecedented, which led finally to the realization of Digitimovies' ambitious project. CD one contains the material of the historic 33rpm, followed by TV versions and alternate takes; CD two continues with many other TV versions and alternate takes; the third CD contains TV versions, alternate takes, and test versions sung by Andrea and Nino Manfredi Balestri with the orchestra of the brothers De Angelis. The magnitude of Fiorenzo Carpi and Bruno Nicolai is highlighted by the impressive number of different arrangements of the main themes (the most attentive audiophiles will notice even the presence of certain sonic atmospheres typical of Nicolai for the Italian thriller!) That lead the listener into the magical world of Pinocchio, thanks to a popular flavor of music, strong in its extreme simplicity. An absolute masterpiece that wants to pay homage to Nino Manfredi in one of his most intense performances, the director Luigi Comencini and of course the musical art of Fiorenzo Carpi and Bruno Nicolai. Edition of 300.

Digitmovies release the Carlo Savina's original soundtrack for the Spaghetti Westerns The Stranger and the Gunfighter ("Là Dove Non Batte Il Sole") and An Animal Called Man ("Un Animale Chiamato Uomo") for the first time on CD, in complete edition. For The Stranger and the Gunfighter, Carlo Savina wrote an enjoyable soundtrack dominated by three main themes. One is a vibrant orchestral motif in Western-style beat for the character of Dakota, the mature gunslinger played by Lee Van Cleef. It is introduced in the opening credits and reprised later. The second is an oriental style theme for the character of young Wong-Kiang (Lo) with sounds which are sometimes dramatic and heroic. And finally, a pleasant love theme for Wong-Kiang and the beautiful Lia-Kua, where the wonderful voice of Edda Dell'Orso chimes in. There is also no shortage of lounge music like a pop bossa, action music, and the guaranteed saloon pieces. For this recovery and preservation, the stereo master tapes from the original recording session were used. With An Animal Called Man, Carlo Savina wrote an upbeat soundtrack where an amusing and light-hearted motif comes through. It is introduced in the opening credits and is then reprised slower and faster, and as a shake with organ. It is alternated with a romantic love theme with the voice of Nora Orlandi as well as with saloon pieces. For this recovery and preservation, the stereo master tapes from the original recording session were used. Edition of 300.

Remastered from the original tapes, Calamo is an outstanding and 100% essential Italian soundtrack containing top-notch giallo and sleazy thrilling music with dark, fuzzy, funky, and definitively trippy sounds that put this amazing soundtrack in high demand. Calamo merges Euro sex movie themes and arrangements with the classic Italian giallo sound of the time, and is filled with funky drums and breaks. There is plenty of dopeness, spaced-out down-tempo beats and hypnotic basslines, with dark orchestrations, threatening bells and swirling, filtered-out Hammond organ. Dig a sinister female chorus, fuzzy cues, captivating psychedelic moods, ringing thriller vibes, and dramatic moments with menacing progressive riffs, sleazy wah-wah, heavy piano, and sweeping strings. For fans of Bruno Nicolai and Ennio Morricone. Edition of 500, 180 gram vinyl in gatefold sleeve, includes CD with unreleased outtakes.

After the release of the successful soundtrack for the TV series Gomorra (which was aired outside Italy as well) the Italian combo Mokadelic returns with a brand new score, Sulla Mia Pelle, for one the most controversial movies around. Based on the despicable history of Stefano Cucchi, literally killed in prison by a bunch of policemen, the album renews the cinematic style of Mokadelic through a series of almost dramatic instrumental sketches. Equally informed by the post-rock of luminaries such as Godspeed You Black Emperor and Explosions In The Sky -- not to mention the subtle rhythms of contemporary IDM (Boards Of Canada first came to mind) -- the band delivers their signature with several epic moments. That is the real companion to a tragic feature film.

Digitmovies presents the soundtrack by brothers Guido & Maurizio De Angelis for the movie Zorro (1974). At that time a 45 rpm single was issued in Italy and in Japan, with the songs "Zorro Is Back" and "To You Mi Chica", and a vinyl album with twelve selections was issued in France, Germany and Japan and later reissued with the same contents by C.A.M. on CD in 1991. For this CD, Digitmovies uses the first generation stereo master tapes of the original recording session allowing for almost forty extra minutes of material. The De Angelis brothers have written a cheerful main theme for the masked avenger Zorro called "Zorro Is Back", introduced in the version performed by Oliver Onions in "Titoli Di Testa" and reprised in instrumental form. This motif is alternated with the love theme "To You Mi Chica" for solo guitar, orchestra, and vocal with dramatic symphonic music with Latin flavor for the heroic actions of Zorro. The bonus material contains exciting reprises of the album versions of "Zorro Is Back", "To You Mi Chica" and the dramatic background themes among which a remarkable rarity can be found: the off-vocal take of the main theme song, that is to say "karaoke" with Zorro! Edition of 300.

Digitmovies present a reissue of Benedetto Ghiglia's Salvare La Faccia, originally issued in 1969. Digitmovies is pleased to release the complete edition of Ghiglia's soundtrack for the drama Psych-out For Murder ("Salvare La Faccia") for the first time on CD. Ghiglia (Fiesole, December 27, 1921 - Rome, July 4, 2012) was able to represent the young protagonist in the film through music with a swing motif sung in English by a female voice. It's introduced by dissonant strings, and then develops into a romantic and dramatic crescendo for orchestra and choir and then into a baroque theme in rock beat. The composer also wrote a wild shake for the various dance scenes, such as when the young beatniks show up at the business magnate's villa, and the scene with the hippie protestors where the Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni give an incredible performance (much like that of the advertisement of a famous brand of textile fibers in 1967/1968 which had music composed by Ghiglia). The composer created the perfect atmosphere for the time period of the film in which the girl with an angelic face and rebellious soul vindictively manipulates the people around her like puppets after being forced by her father to pretend she was crazy in order to cover up a scandal. The dark side of the story is emphasized by psychedelic crime adventure music with harpsichord, percussion, organ, female sighs, and rhythmic experimental jazz. Originally C.A.M. had published an EP single with two tracks in mono which've been included as bonus tracks: "Love Your Neighbor" and "Una Faccia Da Salvare", which are also found in the original stereo mix. For this CD the master tapes were in mono and in stereo from the original recording session, which allowed use of everything that had been recorded for the film, apart from one version of the baroque theme which was sung in English by the author of the lyrics. This was created separately only for this re-edited version, with added scenes, for the American market. This album is a tribute to the recovery and preservation of the musical art of Benedetto Ghiglia. Edition of 300.

Dagored presents a reissue of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to Svegliati E Uccidi, originally issued in 1966. This perfect "noir jazz style" soundtrack was composed by maestro Morricone for the Italian crime thriller Svegliati e Uccidi (Too Soon To Die), directed by the well-known Carlo Lizzani (who first gained notoriety working on such Italian neo-realist classics as Roberto Rossellini's Germany Year Zero (1948) and Giuseppe De Santis's Bitter Rice (1949) and starred Robert Hoffman and Gian Maria Volonté. Dark and powerful, this is one of the best of Morricone's crime thriller scores of the period, which should appeal to fans of celebrated scores like Città Violenta (RED 223C-LP, 2015) and Revolver (RED 220-CLP, 2015). Available for the first time on vinyl, this is the complete version with nine bonus tracks; edition of 500.

Digitmovies release for the first time on CD the complete edition of the Giovanni Fusco's soundtrack for the Peplum film The Goddess of Love (1957) (original title: La Venere Di Cheronea). Fusco (October 10, 1906 Sant'Agata de 'Goti - June 1, 1968 Rome) wrote a symphonic score for orchestra and choir that he entrusted to the masterful conductor, Carlo Savina. His main source of inspiration for this score was surely Iride's beauty (and actress Belinda Lee who interprets her). Maestro Fusco created orchestral passages with a moving love theme which are introduced in the opening credits and then reprised several times throughout the soundtrack and contrasted with a battle theme. Also included is the track in the alternate ending from the French version of the film. For this CD access to the mono master tapes from the recording session see the use of every note recorded. The recovery and preservation of this CD from the golden age is a tribute to the musical art of Giovanni Fusco. Edition of 300.
