Five OSTs from Francesco De Masi, Luis Bacalov, Piero Umiliani, and Stelvio Cipriani. Per Un Pugno Nell'occhio: De Masi composed and conducted an orchestral comment alternating between dramatic and comical passages enriched with delicious Morriconian citations typical for the cult Leone movies. The record opens with gun shoots (reprising the opening credits style characteristic for some Leone westerns) that introduce "Titoli", a funny theme with the great harmonica sound of Franco De Gemini accompanied by Jewish's harp, bell tolls, organ, harpsichord and fast vibe passages. A masterpiece from the Silver Age of the Italian Film Music, luckily rescued. 2 Samurai Per 100 Geishe: This unprecedented OST was written by Nico Fidenco and Luis Bacalov. Despite the humor in the film, the OST is very orchestral and dramatic as it develops, with a recurring oriental feel. The authors put together a mystical holy melody which is contrasted with many battle motifs. Digitmovies used the mono master tapes from the original recording session. I Due Sanculotti: The soundtrack of the film was entrusted to Maestro Umiliani, (1956-1984) a prolific author of soundtracks who was active from 1958 to 1984. He made his debut as a musical composer for film, in 1958 thanks to Mario Monicelli, who called him to compose the musical score for the movie I soliti ignoti. Given the success of the film, in the following years Umiliani was called by the great and good of Italian cinema. From comedies starring Totò or Franco and Ciccio to espionage, from westerns to thrillers, from documentaries to drama all the way up to horror. I Due Parà: Maestro Umiliani composed a funny circus theme for "Head credits" alternating with the music of the atmosphere with an Arab flavor, to western-style Deguello music, Waltz, Mexican Mariachi, American march, a wild South American dance music for trumpet, and suspense. I Due Della Formula 1 Alla Corsa Piu' Pazza, Pazza Del Mondo: Stelvio Cipriani composed a brilliant OST with an amusing recurring main score with a touch of beat style. The author recalls the score in different versions and alternates it with a love theme in Bossa tempo, and with adventure-style music with harp interventions for the gang of bandits who try to make life difficult for Franco and Ciccio.
