Stelvio Cipriani

The two most danceable tracks taken from Cipriani’s cult OST, now finally for the first time on a 7-inch record. “Femina Ridens” features an exhilarating and ‘arioso’ orchestration which accompanies the beguiling voice of Olympia (one of the female vocalists of I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni), whose awkward British diction turns a feminist lyric into a powerful and irresistibly sensuous song. On the flip side, “Sophisticated Shake” is a sumptuous jewel of psychedelic jazz in which Edda Dell’Orso’s vocal is perfectly nested.
