Bruno Nicolai All The Colours Of The Dark Limited Vinyl LP
Overview:
· As part of a devoted series of releases focusing on Bruno
Nicolai’s soundtrack music to the films of Edwige Fenech,
Finders Keepers proudly unveil what is perhaps the crowning
moment for both actress and composer with the film that
inaugurated them (alongside director Sergio Martino) into the critical Giallo royal family in the early 1970s. Presented here with previously unpressed tracks as an alternative to the extremely rare 1973 Gemelli library edition, this Finders Keepers special release includes the recently uncovered 1972 hard-hitting left-field psychedelic pop themes that unified yet another unholy trinity, comprising of sitar wielding Alessandro Alessandroni (in true Pawnshop / Braens Machine mode) and Italian cinematic songbird Edda Dell’Orso to create (under Nicolai’s gaze) what is regarded by many unified Euro horror video collectors and vinyl detectives as the cream of this well
furrowed crop.
· Recorded in January 1972 at Morricone’s Ortophonic studio in Rome (home of Goblin’s ‘Roller’ and Alessandroni’s ‘Sangue Di Sbirro’ amongst many others) Bruno Nicolai balances psychotic free jazz, aggressive bass driven beats, schizoid Eastern motifs and childlike lullabies - the latter exacerbating director Martino’s proud ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ influences in this Giallo tale of a rehabilitated relationship plagued by recurring nightmares and vague memories of a religious cult that teeter on the edge of
Fenech’s consciousness.
· To claim this score as Nicolai’s all time best is perhaps a little ambitious for a versatile composer of such acclaim and widespread appeal, but for fans of that unique window of
unhinged musical opportunity that came with the Giallo boom
of the early 1970s you’ll be hard pushed to find a record that covers all bases from an alternative universe where Fabio Frizzi, Goblin and Walter Rizzati were (haunted) household names.
