I was 7 or 8 years old as i saw this movie for the first time, and was suddenly addicted by the soundtrack. A recurent theme, between dark & light. It’s one of the movie i saw the most, just for the music, and the story of course…Legendary actors like Jean Gabin, Lino Ventura and Alain Delon are playing the main characters. Anyway, one of my favourit Morricone’s score. I was « hunting » this soundtrack LP for years before the CD reissue came out, and found the vinyl 10 years ago very cheap and in good condition. A title like « snack bar » is especially made for comfort and lounging activities, otherwise, « tema per Le Goff » more for a car chase ! Each tracks are quiet associated with the deep and nostalgic atmosphere of the movie. Much underrated, i think, and gloomy like i like it ! This is a french 1979 LP reissue of the 1969 movie. Enjoy the sicilians…

Face A :

Here is an other record from the April Orchestra series, featuring Catherine Lara ( i think ) and Jean Musy. Like everytime, a place where a lot of ( lately ) famous people meets the illustration music. An easier work for me, because i pre-recorded it since a while…No the best of this series, but not the worst. Very quiet to listen and good orchestrated. Anyway good enough to find nice riffs, brakes & samples…enjoy ! The scans are not from vol.8, as mentioned in the tags, but vol.3, last time they died some experiences with number 06 !
