Alessandro Alessandroni - Prisma Sonoro

Undoubtedly one of the central figures of 1960s/70s Italian film music, Alessandro Alessandroni defined the very essence of the genre with his vocal group, I Cantori Moderni. Renowned for his pioneering reverb guitar sound, sitar exploration and a phenomenal whistling technique (perhaps best known for his contribution in shaping the famous ‘Spaghetti Western’ sound), Alessandroni’s vast and innovative contribution to Italian soundtracks is unparalleled. This record is exquisitely crafted Italian mood music; propulsive bossa infected with mild lysergic delirium. Enchanting Harpsichord melodies measured against scowling Giallo style guitars, mournful string arrangements and the sublimely plaintive voice of Edda Dell’Orso. Long regarded as the backbone of the Italian OST sound, here is Maestro Alessandroni in all his own lush psychedelic glory. First LP reissue of this highly collectable Italian Library session. Remastered from the original master tapes. Replica of the original sleeve artwork. Liners notes by Library expert Jonny Trunk.
