Calling all fans of cult soundtracks and genre-bending scores! Four Flies is thrilled to present a limited edition gatefold beauty containing the premiere vinyl release of the complete score to Matalo!, one of the most captivatingly unique Spaghetti soundtracks ever.
Matalo! is a 1970 ‘western crepusculaire’ by Milanese director Cesare Canevari, known for his visually striking genre films, starring Swedish enfant terrible Lou Castel and Italian theatre actor Corrado Pani. Canevari adopts an experimental, atmospheric approach, relying heavily on out-of-focus effects and framing his shots unconventionally. This gives a dark and atmospheric turn to the western genre, with the typical dusty plains transformed into a windswept ghost town, while action sequences replace dialogues almost entirely, leaving actors with very little to say ? and, therefore, putting the music center stage.
Composer Mario Migliardi ? who was also a conductor, pianist, and Hammond organist ? throws out the rulebook for Italian Westerns. Prepare for a wild ride of psych-rock textures, swirling electronic filters, haunting reverbs, and concrete sounds ? a sonic tapestry that seamlessly blends influences ranging from Jimi Hendrix to Luciano Berio.
Migliardi masterfully combines traditional folk instruments like acoustic guitars and percussion with non-canonical electronic processing, creating an electro-acoustic alchemy that feels both fresh and timeless today, probably way more than it did in the 1970s. In particular, the Leslie filter, a hallmark in the Hammond organs popular at the time, is applied to the entire soundtrack, resulting in a very distinctive and dynamic phaser effect.
The soundtrack’s highlight is probably the rock song featuring vocals from Giano Ton, aka Giacomo Tosti, the only track to have found its way on vinyl prior to this LP (it was the B-side of a forty-five released by RCA Italy at the time). Its 9-minute extended version, previously unavailable on vinyl, is a fantastic hard-blues-rock jam a la Hendrix.
This limited-edition double vinyl LP comes in a stunning gatefold jacket with artwork by Eric Adrien Lee, who drew inspiration from the film’s original posters and promo materials.
Definitely a must-have for collectors of unique soundtracks and adventurous music!
カルト・サウンドトラックとジャンルを超えたスコアのファンへ！
トラックリストスパゲッティ・サウンドトラックの中でも最も魅惑的でユニークな作品のひとつである『殺せ！』のコンプリート・スコアを収録した限定アナログ盤を、ゲートフォールド仕様でお届け！
『殺せ！』は、視覚的に印象的なジャンル映画で知られるミラノのチェーザレ・カネヴァリ監督による1970年の"マカロニ・ウエスタン"で、スウェーデンのアンファン・テリブル、ルー・カステルとイタリアの舞台俳優コラード・パニが出演。カネヴァリは、実験的で雰囲気のあるアプローチを採用し、ピンぼけ効果を多用し、型破りなフレーミングで撮影している。そのため、西部劇というジャンルにダークな雰囲気が漂い、典型的な埃っぽい平原は風吹きすさぶゴーストタウンに変貌し、アクション・シーンはほとんどセリフに取って代わられ、俳優の出番はほとんどない。
指揮者、ピアニスト、ハモンドオルガン奏者でもあった作曲家マリオ・ミグリアルディが、イタリア西部劇の常識を覆した。ジミ・ヘンドリックスからルチアーノ・ベリオまで、様々な影響をシームレスにブレンドした音のタペストリー。
ミグリアルディは、アコースティック・ギターやパーカッションのような伝統的な民族楽器を、非正統的なエレクトロニック・プロセッシングと見事に融合させ、おそらく1970年代よりも、今日の方が新鮮で時代を超越したエレクトロ・アコースティックの錬金術を生み出している。特に、当時流行していたハモンド・オルガンの特徴であるレスリー・フィルターは、サウンドトラック全体に適用され、非常に特徴的でダイナミックなフェイザー効果をもたらしている。
このサウンドトラックのハイライトは、ジャコモ・トスティことジアーノ・トンのヴォーカルをフィーチャーしたロック・ソングだろう。9分に及ぶエクステンデッド・ヴァージョンは、これまでレコード化されていなかったもので、ヘンドリックスのような素晴らしいハード・ブルース・ロック・ジャムである。
この限定2枚組LPは、エリック・アドリアン・リーによるアートワークの見事なゲートフォールド・ジャケットに収められている。
ユニークなサウンドトラックや冒険的な音楽のコレクターにとっては、間違いなくマスト・アイテムです！
