Morricone, Ennio
I Malamondo O.s.t. (2lp)
Continuing the 'Morricone Segreto' series of releases of unearthing hidden and underrated soundtracks of the late Maestro - here's the score from 'I Malamondo,' a strange, off-beat mondo-movie about the youth of the early 1960s, directed by Paolo Cavara. This is one of Morricone's earliest works, and possibly one of his most eccentric and colourful scores. Quirky and vivid, this soundtrack spans many genres - classical, bossanova, jazz, Latin and features the renowned vocals of I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni and I 4+4 di Nora Orlandi - two choirs that embody the spirit of Italian soundtracks of the time. The score has been carefully restored and remastered from the original master tapes and includes 9 unreleased tracks.
