Warehouse find, original stock from 2000. Italian soundtracks from the late '60s to mid-70s are practically a genre to themselves and have long been a treasure trove for those who seek unique jazzy psychedelic beats. In the early '90s, both the retro-exotica crowd and the rare groove DJs re-discovered Italian soundtrack music thus giving it a big boost in popularity. The Black Cat label responded to this renewed interest with its Loungissima series that re-packaged a variety of Italian soundtracks in attractive vinyl LP collections. The Psych Jazzy Beat of I Marc 4, features the music of one of the top recording quartets of Italian soundtracks, I Marc 4. The members of this quartet all came from a jazz background and originally grouped together in the mid-60s with the purpose of supporting various high-profile vocalists. In the late '60s they moved on to being soundtrack composers whose instrumental works would then be collected and released on LPs. Psychedelic rock, soul jazz, brassy Herb Alpert style numbers, spacey exotic lounge music, goofy country funk, proto-progressive rock are the easily recognizable genres coexisting in this retrospective of one of the most hidden treasures of the Italian psych-jazz scene. 24 tracks smasher, compiled by DJ and TV producer Alessandro Casella for his label Black Cat for the Loungissima series, this is a retrospective on the I Marc 4 rangin' from 1970 to 1976, and also containing an interactive rom-track with the interview to Maurizio Majorana from the magazine Il Giaguaro. Original copies originally out in year 2000 and hard to find ever since.
