KILL! (180gr Transparent yellow vinyl Vinyl, LP+CD)

The soundtrack of "Kill!" is a concentrate of groove, tension, and psychedelia, composed by Berto Pisano with the collaboration of Jacques Chaumont. It’s a brilliant example of how Italian film music from the 1970s was able to blend jazz, funk, rock, and experimentation into a unique language?perfect both for the screen and standalone listening.

The film, directed in 1971 by Romain Gary, is an international thriller with an exotic and ambiguous tone, partly shot in India. It tells a story of mystery and double-crossing: the protagonist, played by Stephen Boyd, is a British officer on a secret mission, entangled in a web of espionage, betrayal, and murder, all set against a decadent and sensual colonial backdrop.

The soundtrack perfectly mirrors this seductive and ambiguous atmosphere. Pisano and Chaumont move between gritty, tense funk with wah-wah guitars, pulsing bass lines, and driving drums; jazzy and lounge moments that evoke a sophisticated and decaying elegance; mysterious orchestral lines with eerie strings and veiled brass; and psychedelic detours featuring distorted organs and exotic instruments that reflect the Indian setting.

The main theme is magnetic: a sinuous bass line, a hypnotic groove, and a mood suspended between noir and eroticism. The music keeps the narrative tension high while being extremely enjoyable on its own, with a rare groove vinyl flavor that has made this soundtrack highly sought after by collectors.

Long considered nearly impossible to find, "Kill!" has since been re-evaluated as one of the finest examples of Italian scoring for spy and exploitation cinema. Its ability to evoke a world of intrigue, lust, and danger with just a few notes is truly impressive.
