Laure aka Forever Emmanuelle

Today I present the score LAURE (1975) aka Forever Emmanuelle. The score is by Franco Micalizzi. The CD was released by Digitmovies (Catalog Code: CDDM133) in 2009.

I've never actually seen this movie although I recently downloaded a nice DVD rip via a bit torrent site so I plan on it but I can tell you that this is a great score and to date I think this is my favorite by composer Micalizzi. It sort of has a funky jazzy lounge like sound to it. Very mellow and relaxing but not boring in the least. Give it a try!

As per my usual methods the CD was ripped with EAC to the FLAC format and includes the EAC made LOG file and CUE Sheet file. I also made a M3U PlayList file and provide high quality artwork scans (actually I just scanned the CD cover but then I found some nice complete scans on-line so I've included those as well). The MP3 was created from the FLAC files using 'Easy CD-DA Extractor' and includes all the other files as well (the LOG and CUE and M3U and artwork scans).

Until next time ... listen until your ear's bleed !!!

Chi Sei? aka Beyond The Door

Today I present you with the Soundtrack to CHI SEI? (1974) aka BEYOND THE DOOR. This is an Italian rip-off of William Friedkin's THE EXORCIST (1973) yet it manages to be a very fun movie and the score, by Franco Micalizzi, is a lot of fun itself.

Now I've only seen the film once (and that was a long while ago) but the music, while cool as shit, really doesn't fit the movie very well. However as a listening experience the soundtrack is a lot of fun. It has a jazzy funky vibe to it. For a sample CLICK HERE to see a You Tube video of the main theme.

As far as I could tell this score only ever got a singular (and now long out-of-print) CD release on some Japanese label back in 2002. Luckily a friend of mine actually bought it when it came out and allowed me to rip it. Aren't friends great?

As per my usual methods the CD was ripped with EAC to the FLAC format and includes the EAC made LOG file and CUE Sheet file. I also made a M3U PlayList file and give you a high quality scan of the Japanese CD Cover. I also found an alternative "CD Cover" from a digital only release of the score (which can be ordered through iTunes or Amazon.com etc.)
In the past I've always used foobar2000 to do the MP3 conversion but lately I've been using this really neat program called 'Easy CD-DA Extractor' and that was used here to create the MP3 files from the FLAC files. The MP3 version also includes the EAC made LOG & CUE Sheet files as well as all the artwork options.

Until next time ... listen until your ear's bleed !!!
Oh and I'll do my best not to wait another year before the next update!
