Alessandro Alessandroni
Ritmo Dell'industria N.2
Alessandro Alessandroni is mostly known for his unmistakable whistle in Ennio Morricone’s soundtracks composed for Sergio Leone’s westerns but, in a world where information is easily accessible to many people, still very few people know how vast his discography is, and how many instruments he was able to play. “Ritmo dell’industria N. 2” (Rhythm of the Industry No. 2), released in 1969 in the library music circuit – and therefore nowadays almost impossible to find in its original version if not at a very high price – can be considered Alessandroni’s first solo album. The title is misleading, since among the notes of this record the only vague reference to an industrial rhythm is the almost hypnotic repetitiveness of certain music passages which the songs are based upon: the overall feeling is more metropolitan, mysterious, at times dissonant, and it would better suit a police/thriller context rather than an industrial one; however, the charm of these compositions has remained intact to the present day.
