Ennio Morricone ‎– Revolver (Colonna Sonora Originale) (1973, LP, Italy)

Revolver is one the finest Ennio Morricone thriller score, composed in 1973 for the great Sergio Sollima’s giallo Revolver: no sweeping themes, no quirky effects, no dissonance sounds just simple ideas, executed to perfection.
Contains “Un Amico”, the beautiful theme heard in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards and the masterpiece Revolver, a 13 minute action piece that dazzles with its brilliance: an incredibly tense dramatic action music of the highest calibre.

This beautiful and rich soundtrack, written especially for "Opposte esperienze", shows  an artistic sensibility that has no equal in the difficult world of cinema,  because it reflects the passions that run and overlap in context and it is  particularly attentive to the feelings that disrupt the lives of humans who  take turns in the film. Only a keen student of human frailties may report  on the musical staff all those feelings that afflict the world daily and Ennio Morricone with his whole experience is this.

"Il Diavolo nel Cervello" (Devil in the brain) is a film directed in 1971 by Sergio Sollima and screened at the beginning of the following year; it's a psychological thriller in which tension is determined by the character's psyche more than their actions. At this time the horror audiences were into Dario Argento's suspense thrillers made up of serial killers, ferocious murders and a pinch of erotism.

After three movies in the 'spaghetti western' genre and the noir "Città violenta" Sollima then decided to make something unpredictable, and paid the consequences of his resolution: his film out went almost unnoticed, and it's been re-evaluated recently, together with the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, who had already scored Sollima's previous works.

"Il diavolo nel cervello" works on an almost-full symphonic register: on a strings background we have piano, harpsichord, flutes and brass instruments. It's a very airy work that creates moments of tension, where the pace is dictated solely by jazzy drums played with drum brushes. Undoubtedly, one of the best productions of the Maestro from those early '70s, including Bruno Nicolai as a conductor and the wonderful Edda Dell'Orso singing choirs.
