There is little closer to perfection than the magic blending between Dario Argento?s frames and Goblins? music in ?Profondo Rosso? (Deep Red), both made in 1974 ? and then released the following year ? when both artists were living a period of maximum creativity: their fortuitous meeting produced two masterpieces, one cinematographic and one musical, a source of inspiration in the decades to follow up to the present day. The music of ?Profondo Rosso? was originally commissioned to jazzman Giorgio Gaslini, a former Dario Argento?s collaborator who wrote the songs on side B of this LP, but was soon entrusted to four young musicians from Rome: Claudio Simonetti (keyboards), Massimo Morante (guitars) , Fabio Pignatelli (bass guitar), Walter Martino (drums). The legendary theme and sinister melodies of the title track set a new standard at the time for film music, not just in the thriller / horror genre, and thanks to their dazzling debut Goblin still enjoy international fame and respect. An essential masterpiece for any lover of soundtracks and cinema, Italian music, progressive rock, jazz-rock and much more. A piece of History, reissued in a faithful reproduction of the original 1975 version.
