"Italian soundtracks from the late 60s to mid 70s are practically a genre to themselves and have long been a treasure trove for those who seek unique jazzy psychedelic beats. In the early 90s, both the retro-exotica crowd and the rare groove DJs re-discovered Italian soundtrack music thus giving it a big boost in popularity."--blurb to The Psych Jazzy Beat Of I Marc 4 "It goes without saying that Italian horror soundtracks were essential [in making the film Berberian Sound Studio (2012)] - Morricone, Bruno Nicolai, Riz Ortolani, Stelvio Cipriani, Fabio Frizzi, Claudio Gizzi, Goblin. --Peter Strickland interviewed in Sight and Sound |
