Release Notes
  • Limited to 500 copies

A sweet selection of unreleased material from the vaults of Italy’s famous Cometa Records sound library – a package that’s pretty heavy on keyboard and electronic bits, with a sound that’s right up there with some of the best Italian horror and action scoring of the early 80s! In fact, there’s a strong sense of drama throughout – a nice call to action in some of the tunes, as the keyboard lines set up a mood, then send it soaring – and basslines brood along to create these cool darker currents! The whole thing’s still pretty tuneful – none of the atonal qualities that show up in other Italian scoring – and the three artists often collaborate throughout, in different groupings – on titles that include “Serpentina Junior”, “Turismo Giovane”, “Akriliko”, “Speed”, “Preallarme”, “Romantico Junior”, “Viaggio Giovanne”, and “Riflessione”.
