Piero Piccioni - Swept Away (1974)


I probably don't tell you guys enough, but I truly appreciate all the great comments. It's really nice to hear that (most) everyone appreciates the beautiful music shared on the blog. I can't always reply to each comment, so I wanted to make sure I let everyone know how much they mean.

One recent comment was a request for Piero Piccioni's classic score for Travolti Da Un Insolito Destino Nell'Azzurro Mare D'Agosto (a.k.a. Swept Away... By An Unusual Destiny In The Blue Sea Of August). Enjoy one of my very favorites (now in expanded form).

  2. Piccioni is my favourite of the 60s and 70s composers!
    Is this his msot famous film that he scored?

    He doesn't get the attention he deserves! On his page on Imdb I'm one of two who's written anything about him on the message board. Is there anywhere else to discuss his work (and other great composers from the same golden age of cinema filmscores)?

  6. No way! What a coooool blog! I'm the bassist for an italian cocktail/lounge band (The Smart Set) specialized in movie themes, soundtrack and jingles from mostly Italian movies and tv-shows from those years. We cover "sessomatto", "la pupa del gangster" "mah na, mah na" and other gems by Morricone, Umiliani, Trovajoli and so on.
    We also do cover of Bacharach and Mancini's tunes and soundtracks, though... why not? ;-)

    I'm definitley putting your blog between the noteworthy links in The Smart Set's site!

    Cheers

    Alex

  12. Hi Brainiac, first of all thanks for all the great music you have shared. It's been greatly appreciated!!

    I was wondering if you have ever seen an OST for the spanish thriller "Tras El Cristal(In A Glass Cage)"? I saw it recently and the music was striking.

  13. Hi
    I found your blog about a month ago and am incredibly appreciative of the effort you've made in helping people like me discovour this amazing music. It has inspired me to try and hunt down as many of these titles on vinyl as I can find.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Thom, that is quite an unforgettable film, but unfortunately I'm not aware of any soundtrack release.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Sacha, you're very welcome! Good luck on your vinyl hunts. It can be quite rewarding, but sometimes very frustrating!

  27. Great Soundtrack! Thx!

  28. I enjoy the blog and the music a lot. I found something you might be interested in, a program developed to attach album art to MP3 files. I use it to attach the art to my podcast, and to the files you make available. It is pretty simple and I have not had any problems yet.

    BTW: I'd love to see some more Jess Franco soundtracks :-)

  29. Thanks for all the comments!

    Nando - I'm afraid I do not have either of those. I'll see what other Plenizio I might have.

    Yaroslav - Thanks very much! I'm glad you remembered because I sure didn't!

    Anon 1 - I'm sorry, I do not have La Ragazza di Trieste.

    Anon 2 - I/m pretty sure I have Il prefetto di Ferro, but I'll have to dig it out. Stay tuned.

    Anon 3 - Thanks so much for the great rip! I'm looking forward to Il Dio Sotto La Pelle!

    Darius - Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

  36. Use megaupload for better service.
    Rapid was unuseable for a long time.
    Filesonic hotfile make you wait 15 mins each download.
    No Megaupload.com

    USE IT all you peeps.

  44. WHOA MAN ! THANKS
    this is crazily good....not strange for piccioni as he was doing at the same time "il dio sotto la pelle" with very good UK singer Catherine Howe.But here.....uuughh for teh summer coming....Nora Orlandi did so much good this ost would be better tha Edda i see and fee she did big in providing such different but similar voicing solos like Edda dell'orso, here Nora is more near simple sexy near the ears..no smooth and douce... no other would be done better and what about berto pisano directing this? who know s who can be the guitarist?

    thanks so much man! Straight into buiyng a sealeed CBS lp copy of this from 1975, that damn beat cd from 2012 is crazy fukka to find.Any else having it to sell contact me here!

  48. Is there any way you can update the link and provide a newer link to download this soundtrack of Travolti Da Un Insolito Destino Nell'Azzurro Mare D'Agosto since rapidshare has been long removed? I would like to hear those bonus tracks of this soundtrack since they are no where online, thank you.
