Happy New Year from SL!

Just a quick note to wish everyone a happy 2010 and to let you know that I am still around. It's been a while since my last post, but I assure you I have lots of good stuff on the way. Keep checking back and keep up the great comments. I really appreciate them.

Nora Orlandi - The Strange Vice Of Mrs. Wardh (1970)

The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh (a.k.a. Blade of the Ripper, Next Victim) has a lot going for it. A great director in Sergio Martino, an absoutely stunning lead in Edwige Fenech (who never looked better) and an excellent soundtrack by one of the few women in the field, Nora Orlandi. All of these things combine to make for one of the best and most satisfying gialli to come out of the 70's. Enjoy this wonderful soundtrack!

Ennio Morricone - Revolver (1973)

Continuing on with the Inglourious Basterds inspired posts with more from the Maestro. What can I say about Revolver? It's an amazing movie with an amazing soundtrack.

01. Un Amico (02:36)
02. Revolver (12:37)
03. Anna (02:04)
04. Un Amico (02:35) (Performed by Daniel Beretta)

Ennio Morricone - Allonsanfan (1973)

I have yet to see Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, but like many of you, I'm pretty sure I've already heard most of the soundtrack. Upon request I'm going to try to post several of the full scores to match the tracks to the film. Most are less than groovy, but all are excellent in their own way so I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

Ennio Morricone - Frantic (1988)

Going beyond the 60's and 70's to fill a request for Albatroz. This is slightly more modern than most of the Morricone on this blog, but that's no reason to dismiss it. It's still got plenty of the Maestro's classic touches and is really an excellent soundtrack. Give it a shot.

More requests to be filled very soon...

01. I'm Gonna Lose You (04:05) Performed by Simply Red
02. Frantic (04:13)
03. On The Roofs Of Paris (06:07)

Lalo Schifrin - Bullitt (1968)

A recent request by "anonymous", this is the 2000 release of the exciting Schifrin soundtrack to the classic Steve McQueen film. Here's a little more about this release from Moviegrooves:

The Original Soundtrack to Bullitt (the actual music used in the movie) has never been released. The LP version that appeared back in the late 60's itself comprised of re-recorded versions - these versions were slightly more jazzy in order to appeal to a wider audience.

This CD contains re-recorded versions of the arrangements from the original Bullitt soundtrack LP which were recorded in 2000 by the WDR Big Band and conducted by Lalo Schifrin. It also contains re-recorded 'movie versions' of some of the tracks too. There's also a few previously unreleased cues; "Just Coffee", "Architect's Building" and a new arrangement of the main theme for jazz guitar. A superb set of tunes.

01. Main Title (03:05) (Movie Version)
02. Shifting Gears (03:12)
03. Ice Pick Mike (03:58) (Movie Version)
04. Cantata For Combo (02:51)
05. Room 26 (02:28) (Movie Version)
06. On The Way To San Mateo (02:36)

08. Main Title (02:13) (Record Version)
09. The Aftermath Of Love (03:01)
10. Ice Pick Mike (03:07) (Record Version)
11. Hotel Daniels (03:32)
12. Guitar Solo (01:34)
13. The First Snow Fall (03:41)
14. Room 26 (03:39) (Record Version)

3 Films By Jess Franco

A recent request from Ed, this is a disc everyone should have in their collection. This long out-of-print compilation contains tracks from three of Jess Franco's best films (to me, anyway) - Vampyros Lesbos, She Killed In Ecstasy and The Devil Came From Akasava. It's safe to say that this amazing music by Manfred Hubler and Siegfried Schwab is what sucked me into the world of "sleazy" listening all those years ago. It was like nothing I had ever heard before. A condensed version entitled "Vampyros Lesbos Sexadelic Dance Party" was also released, but I chose to share the full version. Enjoy!
