Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and EMI General Music Publishing, presents a remastered reissue of the 1968 classic, propulsive and exciting Ennio Morricone cult score for the gangster movie GLI INTOCCABILI (aka MACHINE GUN McCAIN), a successful Italian-US coproduction, directed by Giuliano Montaldo and starring John Cassavetes, Britt Ekland, Peter Falk, Gena Rowlands and Gabrielle Ferzetti. The film is about a paroled gangster and his son who plan to rob a Las Vegas gambling house, unaware that the casino is bitterly contested by the West Coast and East Coast mobs.
Ennio Morricone's score creates an elegant and distant?almost abstract?atmosphere. "Hank McCain's Ballad," performed by Jackie Lynton, anchors the musical narrative. It is a melancholic, nostalgic theme that deliberately contrasts with the character's violence. The film's musical discourse oscillates between two opposing universes: one of elegance and artifice, and the other syncopated, dissonant, urgent. Morricone resorts to atonal structures, employing radical sound resources: metallic clusters, industrial noises, abrupt staccatos of metal or struck piano. Traditional melody disappears; instead, tension is built from texture and unconventional instrumentation. The score also includes two different and beautiful love themes.
An album with a selection of 11 tracks was released in Italy and France in 1969, becoming one of Morricone's most sought-after albums over the following decades. In early 1990, Alhambra released the first CD edition with the same program. Over the following years, GLI INTOCCABILI has been released several times on CD and LP (even on cassette!) with different programs, some more expanded than others. The most complete edition, 74 minutes long, appeared in 2010 on GDM, supervised by the composer and produced by Claudio Fuiano and Daniel Winkler. This CD quickly sold out. This is a reissue of the same program, revised and mastered by Chris Malone. The booklet includes liner notes by Miguel Angel Ordonez discussing the movie, the music and the composer.
1968年の傑作、刺激的で興奮を呼ぶエキサイティングなエンニオ・モリコーネのカルト的スコアがリマスター再発売！
トラックリストギャング映画『明日よさらば』は、ジュリアーノ・モンタルド監督、ジョン・カサヴェテス、ブリット・エクランド、ピーター・フォーク、ジーナ・ローランズ、ガブリエル・フェルゼッティ主演のイタリア・アメリカ合作の成功作である。本作は、ラスベガスの賭博場強盗を企てる仮釈放中のギャングとその息子を描いた物語で、そのカジノが激しい争奪戦に晒されていることを知らない。本作は仮釈放中のギャングとその息子がラスベガスの賭博場強盗を企てるが、そのカジノが西海岸と東海岸のマフィア組織の激しい縄張り争いの場となっていることに気づかないという物語である。
エンニオ・モリコーネの音楽は優雅で距離を置いた、ほぼ抽象的な雰囲気を創出する。ジャッキー・リントンが歌う“Hank McCain's Ballad”が音楽的物語の核となる。これは憂鬱でノスタルジックな主題であり、意図的にキャラクターの暴力性と対比されている。本作の音楽的言説は二つの対立する世界の間を行き来する。優雅で技巧的な世界と、シンコペーションに満ちた不協和音で切迫した世界だ。モリコーネは無調構造を採用し、金属的なクラスター、工業的ノイズ、金属や打鍵ピアノの断続的なスタッカートといった過激な音響資源を用いる。伝統的な旋律は消え、代わりにテクスチャーと型破りな楽器編成から緊張感が構築される。また二つの異なる美しい愛の主題も含まれている。
1969年、イタリアとフランスで11曲を選曲したアルバムがリリースされ、その後数十年にわたりモリコーネ作品の中でも最も求められたアルバムの一つとなった。1990年初頭、ALHAMBRAレーベルは同じプログラムで初のCD版を発売した。その後数年間、『明日よさらば』はCDやLP（カセットテープ版も！）で複数回リリースされ、収録曲は盤ごとに異なり、拡張版も存在する。最も完全な版となる74分収録版は、2010年にGDMレーベルより作曲家の監修のもと、クラウディオ・フアイアーノとダニエル・ウィンクラーのプロデュースで登場。このCDは即完売した。本盤は同プログラムをクリス・マローンがリマスタリングした再発盤である。ブックレットにはミゲル・アンヘル・オルドニェスが映画・音楽・作曲家について論じたライナーノーツを収録。
限定500枚。
