The world premiere CD edition of Thrilling featuring Ennio Morricone's original (and almost unheard) complete soundtrack music for the 1965 Thriling film in three episodes directed by Ettore Scola, Carlo Lizzani and Gianluigi Polidoro. The score is a great mix of heavy and light, with one of his grooviest mid-60s moments, combining Morricone's floating style featuring bold and jazzy inflections in the instrumentation, a fantastic utilization of flute and saxophone, layered over intricate musical arrangements. Led by Bruno Nicolai and combined with loads of odd sounds, it's more experimental than Morricone's other soundtracks of the same era, and it incorporates distinct darker elements that are unmistakably the signature of a masterful composer.
