The Psych Jazzy Beat of  "I Marc 4" BCR 0101 DLP / CD rom  out now
The Marc 4 was responsible for having the greatest, most incredible
Italian
soundtrack style. This jazz-beat combo were known to play and record
with
some of the best known and most admired composers of this genre; from
Ennio
Morricone to Piero Umiliani. The Marc 4, for the most part, were the
band
who recorded 99% of Armando Travajoli's compositions.
The Marc 4 recorded serveral albums as "I Marc 4" on their label
"Nelson"
from 1970-1976, in this unique compilation you can find their best
recordings that captures their innovative sound; their diversity shines
with
styles ranging from Jimmy Smith to Italian Bossa-nova to experimental
tunes
with strange special effects.
The unique sound of "I Marc 4" comes from omnipresent Hammond C3 of
Antonello Vannucchi with the rhythm section of Roberto Podio on drums
and
Maurizio Majorana on bass, not to forget the real soul of the band,
Carlo
Pes on guitar. On this album you can catch the pure spirit of genius
with
these masterpieces from the Italian film music files.
In 1971 the composer Romolo Frano was working on the soundtrack of a TV
serial "Il Segno del Comando" (a real "cult" TV serial for today's
B-movie
lovers), he chose 5 tracks from the Marc 4 library music album on
'Nelson'
records, two of the five tracks are in this compilation; Distortion Mind
is
a beat song with wild fuzz guitar and groovy bass and Key Board has a
dreaming flute with the soft Hammond sounds of Mr. Vannucchi. These two
tracks are not to be missed on this compilation, as is the case for the
rest
of the album.

ITALIAN LOUNGE-BEAT PARTY BCR 0100 DLP / CD rom  out now
 ITALIAN LOUNGE-BEAT PARTY is a compilation of Italian soundtracks from
the
mid 60's to the early 70's. In those years the Italian film music
produced
the best sound ever and had superior quality productions. Thanks to
composers like Armando Trovajoli, Piero Piccioni, Alessandro
Alessandroni,
all selected in this compilation, the Italian film music found itself in

living a second youth, in the scene of Lounge and Easy Listening music.
More and more DJ's and bands are inspired by this rich discography to

producer of a dozen lounge-beat compilations around the globe) and Al
Casey
(DJ and editor of the magazine "Il Giaguaro"), nobody will be
disappointed.

Trovajoli, the first one is a real shaker and the second is a pop-beat
track

Carpet' nightclub beneath the ruins of the magic city called ROMA. It's
an
