This Italian score is sort of a Holy Grail for fans of the spaghetti sound, especially thanks to the legendary track \"Psicolimite\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1973, a mysterious 45 rpm single surfaced under the name ‘Sharon Chatam e la sua Orchestra.’ The single seemed to be a harmless cover of the theme from Last Tango in Paris, complete with a typical image from the film. But behind the innocent facade, a secret was hidden: the B-side track, “Psicolimite,” was actually the main theme from Rivelazioni. When someone in the United States figured this out and realized the ‘Sharon Chatam’ moniker was a pseudonym for Reverberi and his team, the price of the record skyrocketed, making it a coveted collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the discovery of the full soundtrack even more exciting, considering that the music Reverberi composed for the infamous film by Renato Polselli - one of the most outrageous and uncompromising Italian genre cinema directors - was thought to be lost forever, perhaps vanished into the depths of some film processing lab. But thanks to the sleuths at Four Flies, this enigmatic masterpiece has been resurrected and presented in all its glory. It's available now as a luxurious gatefold double LP with original artwork by the brilliant Eric Adrian Lee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the film, despite some critics praising it as “psychotronic,” is a bizarre mishmash of rambling pseudo-psychoanalytic theories and sexual deviance voyeurism, the music stands out as a foremost, vital element, able to exist on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReverberi’s reputation as a serious, refined producer (for artists like Lucio Dalla, Gino Paoli, Luigi Tenco, and many more), however, led him to keep his distance from exploitation films like Rivelazioni. To maintain his image, he had his friend and former schoolmate Umberto Cannone take credit for the score – a tactic he also used for Polselli's next film, Mania (1974).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut this anonymity might have unexpectedly increased his creative freedom, for the score he put together and recorded is experimental, at times raw, and driven by a relentless rhythm section where bass and drums lay down the groove. The use of electronic instruments is impressive for the time, with drum machines and spacey synths creating a dark and dreamlike atmosphere. Psychedelic flutes, piano phrases, crazed percussion, filters, compressors, and jazzy improvisations on sax and vibraphone complete the mix. The full soundtrack was recovered following the discovery of the original 1-inch, 16-track tapes, which were transferred, mixed, and mastered for optimal listening on both vinyl and digitally, with the digital version featuring 8 bonus tracks.\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\u003ePsicolimite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSexy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsicolimite (Perverse Flute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevelations Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsicolimite (Perverse Synth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsicolimite (Perverse Sex)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSexy (Ballad)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevelations Rhythm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsicolimite (Perverse Flute #2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSexy (Gotico)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsicolimite (Perverse Sex #2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRivelazioni Di Uno Psichiatra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSexy (Romantico) (M03)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsicolimite (Perverse Sex #3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsicolimite (Perverse Flute #3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsicolimite (End Titles)\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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gianfranco Reverberi","offers":[{"title":"2LP \/ Black","offer_id":43764724859071,"sku":"FLIES 71-BK","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/FLIES71_Digital_Cover_974x_d2b1380a-1fc7-4095-9536-4acca308626a.jpg?v=1729749938"}],"url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/collections\/artist-gianfranco-reverberi.oembed","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
