ENNIO MORRICONE - GLI OCCHI FREDDI DELLA PAURA OST [VINYL]

RSD 2023:

“Gli Occhi Freddi della Paura” (Cold Eyes of Fear) is a 1971 thriller film directed by Enzo G. Castellari (who
also directed "Quel Maledetto Treno Blindato", one of Quentin Tarantino's absolute favorites), with the
participation of an international cast of actors including Frank Wolff, Fernando Rey, Julian Mateos and Karin
Schubert.
Set almost exclusively inside a villa where a kidnapping takes place, the film relies on one of the darkest
and most terrifying soundtracks by Ennio Morricone, where melody is practically non-existent in favour of
dreadful and claustrophobic atmospheres. As performers, directed by Bruno Nicolai, we find an ensemble
Morricone himself was a part of, named Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, that perfectly
execute the dissonant and avant-garde sounds of the score. When the groove kicks in, the music recalls
the revolutionary fusion/jazz-rock of the late ‘60s / early ‘70s Miles Davis.“Gli Occhi Freddi della Paura” remained secret and unreleased for almost 30 years, and it’s still constantly
sought after by collectors and soundtrack lovers. It is here reissued in a new clear green vinyl edition with
remastered audio.
