Profondo Rosso / O.S.T. [Colored Vinyl] [Limited Edition] (Purp) (Ita)

There is little closer to perfection than the magical union between the images of Dario Argento and the music of the Goblin's in "Profondo Rosso", both made in 1974 - and then published the following year - in a period of maximum creativity of both artists, whose fortuitous meeting produced two masterpieces, one cinematographic and one musical, a source of inspiration in the decades to follow up to the present day. The music of "Profondo Rosso" was originally commissioned to the jazzman Giorgio Gaslini, author of the songs on side B and former collaborator of Dario Argento, but was soon entrusted to four young Roman musicians: Claudio Simonetti (keyboards), Massimo Morante (guitar), Fabio Pignatelli (bass), Walter Martino (drums). The legendary theme and sinister melodies of the title track set a new standard at the time for film music, not just the thriller / horror genre, and even today the Goblin's enjoy international fame thanks to this dazzling debut. An essential masterpiece for any lover of soundtracks and cinema, Italian music, progressive rock, jazz-rock and much more. A piece of History, reprinted in a faithful format to the original 1975 version. Transparent purple vinyl edition 180gr.
