The Art Of The Italian Soundtrack

Nobody quite matches the Italians when it comes to high-power film soundtracks. What's even more amazing is the sheer volume of them! Ennio Morricone produced over 125 of them, let alone the other giants of the industry - Piero Piccione, Piero Umiliani, etc. They cover the entire range - Horror, crime, exploitation, sexploitation, and yes, even western! The spaghettti western, both the films and the musical style, are themselves uniquely Italian. Here's a sampling to whet your appetite... Enjoy!
