Vault Of Horror - The Italian Connection

This double album is destined to become one of my favourites. As a soundtrack collector I always try and grab anything to do with Italian Cinema, whatever the genre. Vault Of Horror brings together some of the greatest Italian composers and some of the work they created for mainly obscure blood-thirty Italian Horror films.Most collectors will be familiar with the work of Cipriani, Ortolani, De Masi and Frizzi - Check out Death Waltz records for work by De Masi and Frizzi in particular. You even get a Morricone theme on here.The music is superb all the way through and most genres are covered here: Bossa Nova, Disco and Prog Rock. Seq 1 by Franco Micalizzi nearly, but not quite, strays into Northern Soul territory!The package is just as good as the music. Thick 180gm double vinyl in a single sleeve (the lack of a gatefold being the only slight disappointment), a 12x12 art print of the cover and the full album on CD for good measure (in a card wallet).If you're new to this genre then this is the place to start. A warning though, once you start, you won't be able to stop and it can become expensive!

Was expecting it to have some older tracks on, but sound a bit to modern teckky 80's for me.Half of the tracks are not even horror ish, and sound more like library music, perhaps I am missing something

This is essential for any fan of Italian horror and soundtracks. Great package.

Vault Of Horror: The Italian Connection has fantastic cover art by the legendary Graham Humphreys, with extensive liner notes by journalist Alan Jones. Includes classic tracks from Blood & Black Lace, The Last Hunter, Eaten Alive, Zombie Flesh Eaters, City Of The Living Dead, The Beyond, 1990 Bronx Warriors, The New Barbarians, Rome 2033- The Fighter Centurions, Absurd, Cannibal Apocalypse, Cannibal Ferox and more. Absolutely awesome and essential for any lover of Italian movie soundtracks. 10 out of 10. Buy it NOW!
