GEMINUS
Originale della omonima colonna televisiva
Musica composta e diretta da BRUNO NICOLAI
1970 Gemelli GG 10-003, Italy.
Presumably released in 1970, indicated by the presence of the SIAE logo on the labels, this is Maestro Bruno Nicolai at the top of the game with the original 1969 soundtrack for the Rai TV series "GEMINUS," featuring performances by Walter Chiari, Alida Chelli, and Ira Furstemberg. A hidden treasure, this soundtrack encapsulates Nicolai's signature style of the era: reminiscent of Morricone's mellower grooves juxtaposed with striking, Avant-garde compositions, adorned with captivating Jazz elements that elevate the listening experience.
Throughout the album, the legendary Italian Maestro skillfully integrates vibes, organ, and guitar, creating an immersive auditory journey filled with cool, sophisticated tunes. Noteworthy tracks include the tribal psych-out gem "GIANO," featuring a killer interplay of fuzz acid guitar and tense harpsichord notes, and "TEOREMA," which exudes cinematic Jazz vibes with its central harpsichord motif. Tracks like "LARVE," "IL SOGNATORE," and "ECLISSE DI LUNA" offer experimental Avant-garde delights, immersing listeners in mysterious atmospheres.
Standout moments include "IL CIELO CADE," a Soul-Jazz masterpiece featuring enchanting choruses by I Cantori Moderni, previously featured in the original score of "PHILOSOPHY IN THE BOUDOIR" aka "EUGENIE DE SADE '70." "NOTTI ROMANE" entrances with its obscure Experimental soundscapes, eerie atmospheres, and haunting sitar notes. "TEOREMA (con voce)" presents a captivating rendition of the "TEOREMA" theme, enhanced by scat vocals, while "LE VOCI" surprises with an elegant Bossa-Jazz arrangement complemented by charming vocals. "FUOCHI FATUI" delivers psych-out darkness and esotericism, while "TEMA BAROCCO" offers Pop-Baroque sounds enriched by vocal additions.
In essence, this record is a testament to Nicolai's unparalleled creativity and it’s a must-have classic from the Italian golden era. Enjoy the full album .
