Now I haven't done any reviews of new releases so far but for Orgasmo Sonore I will make an exception. Orgasmo Sonore is a project by Frank Rideau in which he revisits 70's & 80's Italian Soundtracks. For his latest project he focuses entirely on the great Italian composer Bruno Nicolai. These 6 tracks are chosen from 5 Horror & Giallo soundtracks that Nicolai composed from 1971 to 1975. Instead of strictly covering these songs Frank does more of a reinterpretation, combining different sequences into one song. Now I have tons of respect for anyone taking on the impossible task of covering a Nicolai song, but Frank actually does a phenomenal job of it too. Sometimes the songs take on a more modern post rock feel but still stay very true to the original vibe as well. My favorite jam on here is his version of La Coda Dello Scorpione. I love the part in the middle around 1:50 where the strings and clean guitar cascade down, so beautiful. When I showed my buddy this record, he said "Wow, I'm really glad this guy exists" and I would have to agree. These days it seems modern horror soundtracks gravitate towards the droney Carpenter stuff but I am so glad to see someone representing the full band, composition driven style the Italians did so well. So show some love and support and buy this amazing record. You can check out more here http://orgasmo-sonore.blogspot.com/ and you check out more Cineploit here http://www.cineploit.com/
