http://www1.screenarchives.com/title_de … LOW-VIPER/

FBI OPERAZIONE VIPERA GIALLA (FBI OPERATION YELLOW VIPER; Francesco de Masi) is as Euro Spy movie directed in 1966 by Alfredo Medori and starring Hellmut Lange, Adeline Wagner and Peer Schmidt. The story follows an FBI agent who’s up against a dangerous criminal gang that takes its name from the yellow viper's deadly poison which they use for their lethal poison-tipped arrows.
It's a title of great interest to Beat Records since it’s completely unreleased and was composed in one of the most creative periods of Maestro de Masi's career (during which he composed some of the most beautiful Spy-Jazz scores ever, including Troppo per vivere… poco per morire, Colpo maestro al servizio di Sua Maestà Britannica, FBI operazione Pakistan, Le spie uccidono in silenzio, Agente Z55 missione disperata, Sinfonia per due spie, etc.).
For this excellently-orchestrated and emotionally-expressive score, the Maestro availed himself of the best soloists (as usual) which he conducted with his typical mastery.

The CD is presented in a jewel case with a 12-page booklet designed by Alessio Iannuzzi, mastering by Claudio Fuiano and liner notes (in Italian and English) by Filippo de Masi. A stylish and classy score...surely 24-karat!

http://www1.screenarchives.com/title_de … EXY-SUSAN/

I DOLCI VIZI DELLA CASTA SUSANNA (THE SWEET SINS OF SEXY SUSAN) belongs to a genre that can only be called “decamerotic.” The Italian-Austrian-Hungarian co-production was directed in 1967 by Franz Antel and starred Teri Tordai, Mike Marshall and Pascal Petit.
The most memorable aspect of this humorous comedy with blushing cheeks is surely the beautiful score by the late Maestro Gianni Ferrio. Cheerful, lively and baroque-flavored sounds explode in unchained shakes and beat cues that will make fans of the genre, the maestro and film music in general go crazy.
Thanks to the discovery of the original master tapes, preserved in a wonderful stereo, it was possible to prepare a CD lasting more than 70 minutes that outclasses the quality and quantity of the original LP program. An expanded edition of a beautiful score in a presentation that truly does it justice!

The CD is presented in a jewel case with a 12-page booklet illustrated by Alessio Iannuzzi, mastering by Claudio Fuiano and liner notes (in Italian and English) by Fabio Babini.

http://www1.screenarchives.com/title_de … CIOTTENNE/

VITA SEGRETA DI UNA DICIOTTENN (THE EYES) gives us an opportunity to bring to light another great score by the eclectic Italian composer Gianni Marchetti, a fine musician with profound artistic vision.
In an ongoing effort to rediscover his work for cinema, we’ve dedicated a lot of releases to the Maestro in the past few years, including MILANO: IL CLAN DEI CALABRESI, LE NOTTI PORNO NEL MONDO N. 2, IL SOLE NELLA PELLE, NIPOTI MIEI DILETTI and CICCIOLINA AMORE MIO. Creating unforgettable sounds of great symphonic depth—sometimes in the fashion of the period, others infused with great lyricism—he is an artist surely destined to be remembered and celebrated through productions dedicated to his genius, such as this little gem.
VITA SEGRETA DI UNA DICIOTTENNE, a drama with morbid, sexy veins, presented the ideal conditions for the inventive Maestro to display his talents, and he doesn’t delude our expectations. It’s a diverse and vibrant score with amazing twists and turns that continue to surprise us throughout the listening experience. Pleasantly unsuspected!

The CD is presented in a jewel case with a 12-page booklet designed by Alessio Iannuzzi, mastering by Claudio Fuiano and liner notes (in Italian and English) by Fabio Babini.

http://www1.screenarchives.com/title_de … IN-SUMMER/

LA MAFIA UCCIDE SOLO D’ESTATE (THE MAFIA ONLY KILLS IN SUMMER) was directed and written by Pierfrancesco Diliberto, who also played a starring role alongside Cristiana Capotondi, Claudio Gioè and Antonio Bruschetta. It’s the story of a young journalist, Alberto, coming of age in the period of the mafia massacres that exploded with particular ferocity from the ‘80s up to 1992.
The movie deals with the subject in an original way that is at once sarcastic, incisive and touching. With poignant narration and direction, Dilberto’s surprising debut earns great success, garnering various nominations and awards.
Santi Pulvirenti composed a chilling score that brilliantly channels the emotional charge of the images on screen and that, among the other things, features a beautiful end title song in Sicilian dialect, the cherry on the cake of a fine production.
Born in Catania, Sicily, Pulvirenti has collaborated with important artists in both the national (Carmen Consoli, Tiro Mancino, Max Gazzè) and international music scenes (Patti Smith, Angèlique Kidjo), and having formerly collaborated with Paolo Buonvino, he’s no newcomer to composing for cinema.

http://www1.screenarchives.com/title_de … -THE-WIND/

COME IL VENTO (LIKE THE WIND) was directed in 2013 by Marco Puccioni and starred Valeria Golino, Filippo Timi and Francesco Scianna. It’s inspired by the story of Armida Miserere, a controversial figure in Italy recent history. Among the first women to direct a prison, she committed suicide in Sulmona on April 19, 2003, after enduring 13 years of anguish and loneliness following the murder of her man Umberto Mornile by the Camorra, and underground Italian crime syndicate.
Shigeru Umebayashi, a Japanese composer with great artistic qualities (and the favorite of director Wong Kar-Wai), was enlisted to write the score. Given his masterful ability to transcribe emotions into sound, it wasn’t by sheer chance that he was added to the movie’s creative cast. Subtle and fine in his execution, no one but he could have illustrated this deep and complex story so adequately through music.

A score of great emotional impact, it’s surely among the highlights of an important movie that earned many awards and great praise from critics and audiences alike.

WARRIORS OF VIRTUE

BUYSOUNDTRAX Records will be releasing the soundtrack for WARRIORS OF VIRTUE, featuring music composed by Don Davis (BOUND, The MATRIX trilogy, HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, JURASSIC PARK III) for the 1997 fantasy film directed by Ronny Yu (THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR), written by Michael Vickerman, Hugh Kelley and the Law brothers, starring Mario Yedidia, Marley Shelton, Chao Li Chi, Dale Wilson, Kathleen Barr, Doug Parker, Scott McNeil, Doug Jones, Lee Arenberg, Dennis Dun and Angus MacFadyen as Komodo.

WARRIORS OF VIRTUE tells the story of Ryan Jeffers (Yedidia), a disabled middle school student who spends most of his time reading comic books and imagining other worlds where he might have great adventures. One day, he stops at his favorite Chinese restaurant and visits with Ming (Dun), the owner. Ming gives Ryan a manuscript of Tao, which is a representation of the five elements that make up the Tao mythology. Ming suggests that Ryan should read the manuscript and it might lead to his ‘true enlightenment’. During school, Ryan is the waterboy for the football team. One afternoon, Ryan is caught staring at the quarterback’s girlfriend and the team starts picking on Ryan and his friend, Chucky. After the girl stands up for Ryan, the quarterback invites Ryan and Chucky to a water treatment plant for an initiation ritual that involves them going across a flimsy pipe to graffiti their names on a wall. Ignoring Chucky’s warnings and feeling ashamed about his disability, Ryan tries to go across the pipe but is blasted into a water tank.

Awakening in the land of Tao, Ryan discovers his disability is gone and he has the use of his legs. Shortly thereafter, he is attacked by soldiers and in the process of escaping, he loses his backpack, which contains the Tao manuscript. Ryan encounters the dwarf-like Mudlap who brings him to Elysia (Shelton), a beautiful girl in white robes. Elysia takes him to Master Chung (Chi). Master Chung leads the Warriors Of Virtue, five anthropomorphic kangaroos who wield the power of the elements. The Warriors are in search of the Manuscript of Legend. They are opposed by the evil warlord Komodo (MacFadyen), who leads an army that has been terrorizing the Land of Tao while Komodo is on a quest to destroy all the lifesprings, the sources of balance and harmony in Tao. Ryan learns that Ming’s gift is in actuality the Manuscript Of Legend and the secrets contained within its pages will decide the outcome in the battle between the forces of good and evil. With the Manuscript now in Komodo’s hands, Ryan must unite the Warriors Of Virtue and recover the Manuscript so that he can decipher its secrets and save Tao.

Released in 1997, WARRIORS OF VIRTUE is a fantasy film filled with lofty ambitions that failed to find its audience. The film is the product of four wealthy brothers, transplanted from Hong Kong to settle in Colorado, the Law brothers. Surgeons by trade but with a creative and financial interest in cinema, they decided to make a Hollywood blockbuster. The brothers invested $35 million of their combined fortunes into developing and producing the film, a science fiction fantasy best described as a variation on THE WIZARD OF OZ meets KUNG-FU PANDA with a pouch-full of STAR WARS’ Force-full mysticism added for good measure. The brothers went on to personally finance another $20 million in marketing costs, with an eye on lucrative toy and other merchandise tie-ins. When the Law brothers were finished shooting the film, they were convinced their film deserved a fully orchestral, swashbuckling score to bring life to the world of Tao and assist its journey to acclaim and fortune. The brothers hoped to hire John Williams to score the film but his agent referred them to another composer by the name of Don Davis. He began work on scoring the film in 1995, two years prior to the film’s release. The producers told him they wanted a broad symphonic score, with a separate theme for each of the five Warriors and as one of the brothers was involved with the Colorado Opera Company, he wanted to commission a piece of concert music that involved these five themes, representing the virtues in the manner of an oratorio. This oratorio, called ‘Of The Illuminated’, received its premiere at the Breckenridge Music Festival in the summer of 1995. This unique (and lengthy) affiliation with the project allowed the composer to be a part of the creative team from the beginning of the project. The WARRIORS OF VIRTUE score was recorded with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and mixed by Armin Steiner.

Emmy winning composer Don Davis began playing trumpet and piano at the age of nine, and started writing music at twelve. As his affinity for music grew, so did his aspirations, and soon he was composing and arranging orchestral charts for local jazz ensembles that he also performed with. After graduation from high school, Davis furthered his study of music at UCLA, majoring in music theory and composition, playing trumpet in college jazz ensembles and orchestras. After graduation from UCLA, Davis continued to study composition with Henri Lazarof and orchestration under Albert Harris. Harris introduced the young Davis to film and television composer Joe Harnell, best known for his work on TV shows such as V and THE INCREDIBLE HULK. He was immediately impressed by Davis' attention to orchestral detail, especially as evidenced by a chamber symphony Davis was writing at the time. Harnell became a mentor to Davis and introduced him to the professional world of film and television scoring. His early compositional work caught the attention of composer Lee Holdridge, who had penned the theme music for the television series BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and he helped Davis land the job composing weekly scores for the show. Davis' rich orchestral style meshed perfectly with the tone of the show and he went on to win an Emmy for his work and achieve great acclaim as one of television's most gifted young composers.

After BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, Davis found his career as a composer soaring and he was commissioned to compose scores for dozens of top television movies and series, including SEAQUEST DSV, HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, Peter Benchley’s THE BEAST, TINY TOON ADVENTURES and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. In 1997, Davis composed the score for Larry and Andy Wachowski's off-beat thriller BOUND, and the directing brothers immediately formed a close working relationship with Davis. The Wachowskis and Davis again collaborated on the MATRIX Trilogy. Davis' work for the three scores incorporated elements of popular music, electronic synthesizer effects, and even a touch of the avant-garde. His full length three act opera "Río de Sangre" premiered in October, 2010 at the Florentine Opera Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The full production included 10 principals with a 40 voice choir and an 11-piece stage ensemble, accompanied by the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra conducted by Joseph Rescigno.

WARRIORS OF VIRTUE was first released on compact disc by Kid Rhino with a short presentation of the score and nine songs at the time of the film’s release and later released again in a better presentation by Prometheus Records minus the songs and with more of Don Davis’ score restored. Buysoundtrax Records now presents a new release of WARRIORS OF VIRTUE, with liner notes written by author Randall Larson including new comments from the composer, along with new mastering by James Nelson of Digital Outland, allowing a new audience to discover Don Davis’ wonderful score.

Galileo (Ennio Morricone)


Digitmovies is pleased to release the original soundtrack by Ennio Morricone for the movie “Galileo.” (complete edition CD, full stereo,30:43min)

Soundtrack information:

The eerie and mysterious atmosphere typical of Morricone’s style of music is based on careful study and research of earlier music while keeping avant-garde music styles in mind. The author’s experimental side emerges powerfully with dissonant horn sections accompanied by a choir (Tr.4). This alternates between chants and the hymn “Eresia defunta sia” with the words of the director Cavani (Tr. 2) set to delicate music that varies between romantic and mysterious (Tr. 5). For this CD we used every note recorded on the stereo master tapes of the recording session. We discovered six previously unreleased tracks approved by the composer himself. The result is a polished tribute to the great musical art of Ennio Morricone and the cinema of Liliana Cavani.

Movie synopsis:

Directed in 1968 by Liliana Cavani, Galilei is the story of Galileo Galilei, the Italian physicist who played an important role in the scientific revolution.

Story:

Galileo Galilei (Cusack) is working at the University of Padova as a physics teacher. In the meantime, the ideas of Giordano Bruno (Kaloiancev) and Copernico’s principles on the solar system start to become known and take hold. One day, Galileo receives a rudimentary Holland binocular. He perfects it to the point of being able to see the movement of the stars. Through extensive studies, he begins to understand that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system instead of the Earth. He is called to Rome to explain himself and demonstrate his research. Cardinal Bellarmino (Doicev) and the Pope himself (Vida) ask him to postpone his research because the claims it makes border on heresy. However he continues his research and even publishes a book. This brings a denunciation that leads to Galileo’s arrest and seizure of his works. The scientist is subjected to a series of interrogations before the Inquisition tribunal. Due to fear of torture he signs a solemn recantation of his claims.

Starring:

Cyril Cusack, Gheorghi Kaloiancev, Giulio Brogi, Nevena Kokanova, Maia Dragomanska, Miroslav Mindov, Mila Dimitrova, Paolo Graziosi, Lou Castel, Gheorghi Cerkelov, Piero Vida, Gigi Ballista, Claudio Cassinelli, Nikolaj Doicev, Sergio Fincato, Vittorio Duse, Dante Cleri, Jean Rougel, Marcello Turilli, Giampiero Frondini, Antonio Nediani.
