GDM music releases on CD the OST composed by Ennio Morricone for the Giallo movie directed in 1971 by Enzo G.Castellari - Gli occhi freddi della paura - (aka The cold eyes of fear) and starring Giovanna Ralli, Frank Wolff, Julian Mateos, Fernando Rey, Karin Schubert. Peter Badel, young son of a judge, coming back home with his girlfriend Anna, is kidnapped by two criminals settling into the house after having killed the servant. The older of the two criminals, still sentenced from Peter,s father to fifteen years in the jail, wants to kill the judge, when he comes back home, making the house to explode with an explosive device. Peter and his girlfriend try every way to be in touch with outside, but in vain. Desperate, the young man causes a short circuit that leaves the house in the most complete darkness. During the fight happened in the darkness the two criminal and the girl are killed: Peter, the only survivor, bleeding waits for his father,s return. The Morricone score is of experimental kind, conducted by Bruno Nicolai and performed by Gruppo di improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza. Few instruments in a sort of conversation have created avant- garde atmosphere, suspended and rarefied, alternated to other violent sound moments that are the ideal background to the pure terror plot in which the protagonists are involved. For the making of this special edition CD the stereo master tapes of the original session were used that gave the chance to discover about eleven minutes of inedit music and all digitally restored and remastered.
