Review: The late Italian film composer Armando Trovajoli was best known for his Italian expressionist / exploitation soundtracks. It's not so known that he made funk: 'Sessomato' and 'Kinky Peanuts' is as such a lesser known rarity, and consists of two made as part of his soundtrack to the film Sessomatto. With vocals from Edda Dell'Orso, the two tracks here are whispry, clean, tambourine-rattling and erotic; trumpets and drums buzz away on the A, while the B opts for clavichordy samba goodness.
Review: This is the first official vinyl reissue of Armando Trovajoli's iconic 1968 soundtrack! Scoring one of Italy's greatest cult road movies, Trovajoli delivered a visionary blend of epic sounds enhanced by Alessandro Alessandroni's Cantori Moderni. The music is set against the exotic backdrop of Angola and takes poetic license with Brazilian-inspired rhythms across thrilling and adventurous sounds. A standout track is 'Angola Adeus' with its haunting vocal and mysterious percussion conjuring up a sense of vast landscapes unfolding before you. This reissue is a must if you like transporting yourself to an era of cinematic grandeur and musical exploration.
