The Giulio Paradisi film featured a star-studded cast including Mel Ferrer, John Huston, and Shelley Winters. Although it wasn't as commercially successful as expected at the time, its unique subject matter and expressive style eventually attracted a cult following. While Micalizzi is better known for his ‘Poliziotteschi' flic scores and collaborations with director Umberto Lenzi, his trademark sound is unmistakably present on \u003cem\u003eStridulum\u003c\/em\u003e with its visually evocative, engaging, and spacey take on funk. The film's commercial performance aside, all this is enough to make \u003cem\u003eStridulum\u003c\/em\u003e one of Micalizzi's most captivating, if eccentric, works. Packed with great tracks such as the film's main theme, the multiple variations on the ‘Sadness Theme', and the standout sci-fi disco-funk of ‘Jerzy Again', the \u003cem\u003eStridulum\u003c\/em\u003e score offers plenty in the way of listening enjoyment. The present re-issue features the original artwork from the 1979 first pressing, along with bonus tracks including 7 alternate tracks and outtakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTRIDULUM THEME\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHERE'S THE DREAM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRUNNING AWAY FROM JERZY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSADNESS THEME\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDISTRESSING SEQUENCE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHOSPITAL SEQUENCE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVOICES FOR SADNESS THEME\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJERZY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSADNESS THEME\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATMOSPHERE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBACK IN THE HOSPITAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDISTRESSING SEQUENCE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTRIDULUM THEME\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDISTRESSING SEQUENCE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJERZY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATMOSPHERE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSADNESS THEME (2nd Part - Take 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSTRIDULUM THEME\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJERZY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"352\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/25UvA5F5pO5FT5u8AmzyeX?utm_source=generator\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Franco Micalizzi","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":43028275888319,"sku":"BEAT-81-BK","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/stridulum_12inch_cover_web_974x_6ef5e4d9-9414-4dc3-b035-9e06fa7e19d8.jpg?v=1712138527"}],"url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/collections\/artist-franco-micalizzi.oembed","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
