RELEASE DATE

After 40 years since its theatrical release in 1977, presented here for the first time on vinyl is the phenomenal soundtrack for
Il Gatto Dagli Occhi Di Giada
, also known as
Watch Me When I Kill
, directed by
Antonio Bido
, director of
The Bloodstained Shadow
(1978). This top-notch score is undeniably catchy, yet has its creepy moments. The film's score was created by a supergroup specifically formed for this project and consisted of
Adriano Monteduro
(vocals and guitar; known for his 1974 record in which he was accompanied by prog band
Reale Accademia Di Musica
),
Glauco Borelli
(bass, already in
Alberomotore
), the well-known composer
Mauro Lusini
, and
Gianfranco Coletta
who, besides being one of the pioneers of Italian psychedelia with
Chetro and Co.
, was also a founding member of the
Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
. They chose the name
Trans Europa Express
with direct reference to
Kraftwerk
, who released their seminal record with the same title a few months prior that same year.
Watch Me When I Kill
certainly has the compositional techniques and instrumentation related to Italian prog, but only less attentive and interested listeners might dismiss it as mere "
Goblin
-esque": eerie sound interludes, percussion, carillon, piano pieces, distorted and mystical screams, old tunes in a gramophone style, moments of (seemingly) tranquility and rock. The cyclical repetition and varied vaguely Goblin-ian guitar, cadenced by a pressing bass (which occasionally resembles that of
Pink Floyd
's "One of These Days"), and a spectral and creepy scat vocal gives the listener pleasant moments of both fear and hypnotic tension. Includes two bonus tracks. The LP comes packaged in a heavy cardboard cover with hollow cat eyes and a yellow inner-sleeve with photos from the set provided by director Antonio Bido.
