Il Gatto A Nove Code (180 Gr.Gatefold)

"Il gatto a nove code" (The cat o 'nine tails), filmed in 1971, is the secondfilm by Dario Argento, a horror thriller still distant from his horror works forwhich he will later become famous on an international level. Thecollaboration with the composer and conductor Ennio Morricone, alreadyknown for his work on Sergio Leones western movies, is here renewed afterthe success of "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage", and will continue withthe third installment of the 'zoological trilogy', "Four Flies on Grey Velvet".When the previous soundtrack for Argentos first movie had proved to be areally tough listen, here Morricone goes even further, creating a reallydissonant and avant-garde sound, with practically one single basis theme inthe form of a few essential bass guitar notes. In those same years, after all,the Maestro was part of Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, andthe films of Dario Argento provided the perfect terrain where Morricone couldexperiment, without any boundaries. Like many other soundtracks of those years, "The cat o 'nine tails" had towait more than 20 years to see the light in its entirety, with a single 45rpmreleased at the time! Today, this score is reissued by AMS Records in LPformat with gatefold cover. The first 500 copies come in yellow vinyl.
