Previously released on LP by Cinevox in 1968, we are proud to announce the CD premiere release of this challenging avant-garde soundtrack by Bruno Maderna who only scored a handful of films in the 50s and 60s. However, this one has the ability to haunt you forever. Quirky stuff indeed, a perfect companion to the equally weird film by Giulio Questi – Maderna's contribution to the film cannot be overestimated. Presented in a 6-page digipak with original artwork, film still and liner notes by John Bender, the disc itself offers the original LP in full stereo as well as 10 previously unheard bonus tracks in mono - all in all 54 minutes of very uneasy listening. Overall the music on this disc can be eerily, and vividly, epitomized by a line of dialog from the film: "Take them by surprise with an approach that's absolutely new - that's newer than tomorrow - preposterously new!"

"Bruno Maderna's score perfectly captures the films paranoia atmosphere with its dissonant tones and bizarre arrangements." (Michael Den Boer, 10,000 Bullets)
"... a crazed musical score from Bruno Maderna - this composer's mix of woozy strings and discordant jazz guitar is guaranteed to make you edgy and nervous ..." (Don Guarisco, DVD Maniacs)
"... Bruno Maderna's bizarre score, which somehow manages to be incredibly annoying and completely appropriate at the same time ..." (Michael Mackenzie, DVD Times)
"The avant-garde Bruno Maderna score is violent and nerve-wracking." (Chris Fujiwara/A. S. Hamrah, Hermenaut)
"Bruno Maderna's score is akin to the sound of chalk screeching across a blackboard ..." (Robert Monell, I'm In a Jess Franco State of Mind)
