The third volume in the Beat at Cinecitta series collects more soundtrack music from gleefully sleazy Italian films of the '60s and '70s, including work from such composers as Berto Pisano, Armando Trovajoli and Piero Piccioni, among others.

A goofily irreverent (and, perhaps, irrelevant) collection of musical moments from the sleazier side of the Italian cinema. No sign of Ennio Morricone on this volume, but there is plenty of Piero Piccioni, who dominates the album with a mixture of lounge and off-kilter pop.
A Sensual Homage To The Most Raunchy, Erotic Film From The Vaults Of Italian 60's & 70's Cinema. Composers Featured Are Bruno Nicolai, Riz Ortolani, Roberto Pregadio, & More. A Must For Any Lounge/Cinema Music Fan.
“Fantasía de navidad” proporciona solaz y compañía en todo momento. Las canciones narran historias en general tristonas que se desarrollan en plenas pascuas. Ya en su primer momento se proporciona ese dulce anacronismo sentimental a través del himno navideño de Siesta que abre la fiesta.

Despite this bit of truth-bending, all the tracks flow together nicely regardless of their origin because they all share a similar combination of slick production and insistent rhythms. Pretty much everything on this disc sounds like it could have been used as a nightclub's background music in a 1960s or 1970s European film.

This CD is far superior to BEAT AT CINECITTA, which, except for that Teo Uselli track, "Sexually", I found far too camp and noisy.This is a cool "head" CD, with Piero Piccioni and Piero Umilani doing some cool jazz riffs bordering on hip/cheesy porno sounds and shagadelic noises.
