| description |
As eighth volume in the series dedicated to the Giallo movies
scored by Ennio Morricone, Digitmovies proudly re-issues a Deluxe
CD edition of the OST for the movie La Corta Notte Delle Bambole
Di Vetro.
Although this OST has already been released - with the same
material (42:25) - by Screen Trax/GDM and later by Dagored/Abraxas,
both these CDs did feature the score only in mono sound.
Whereas Valzer, Titoli (issued on an Italian compilation) and
Emmetrentatre (included in a promotional CD produced by Morricone)
were the only three tracks to appear on the market in stereo
sound, the complete stereo mixes seemed to be lost forever until
today.
Like L'Uccello Dalle Piume Di Cristallo also La Corta Notte
Delle Bambole Di Vetro is a kind of OST which on the strength
of its atonal orchestrations and the psychedelic colours of
the electronic experimentations did absolutely deserve it to
be presented again to the audience in stereophonic sound.
The hunt for the stereo tapes had positive results only in very
recent times:
In two different archives we could find the complete master
tapes which were recorded in full stereo.
And not only this, but there is an even bigger discovery:
We have rescued an album mock-up in stereo (duration: 29:15)
which had been prepared at the time of the film's release by
Ennio Morricone, surely conceived for a promotional album of
the SP series which then never saw the light in those days.
For the joy of the Ennio Morricone fans and for a historic matter,
besides the stereo LP mock-up and those extra tracks previously
issued in mono, we have added here about 17 minutes of music
never released before so that this CD has now a total time of
almost one hour of material.
The macabre plot is magisterially scored by Ennio Morricone
starting with the main titles (Tr. 1) with a heartbeat, human
sighs and other vocal effects performed by Edda Dell'Orso.
String glissandos and electronic effects do create the perfect
background to a gloomy Prague which is immersed in a surreal
atmosphere.
Strings and electronic music, enriched with Edda's voice, produce
a deliberately unpleasant, unbearable and obsessive sensation
in several orchestral tracks (Tr. 2, Tr. 4, Tr. 6) or in one
with pure electronic music(Tr. 7).
The waltz - the love theme for the journalist and his girlfriend
Mira Svoboda (B. Bach) - breaks up this cold dimension of terror
in Tr. 5, Tr. 11, Tr. 14, Tr. 21.
The score is also enriched with original themes of a classical
kind (Tr. 8) and particularly in Tr. 19 where we find - a very
interesting musical discovery - fragments of something that
seventeen years later will become the theme of Infanzia E Maturità
from Nuovo Cinema Paradiso!
The voice of Edda, accompanied by a guitar, performs a Beat
style theme for the scene of the hippies at the bar (Tr. 13). |

| story |
A man is found one morning in the bushes
of a city plaza in Prague.
He is taken to a hospital where the doctors confirm that,
although his eyes are wide open, he is dead.
There is no heartbeat or sign of life, except, strangely enough,
his body temperature is normal.
No matter, he's certified as dead and sent into cold storage
to wait for an autopsy.
I'm alive, the man thinks, can't you see I'm alive?
The man, Gregory (Jean Sorel), isn't dead but he's paralyzed
and helpless to alert his condition to anyone.
As the doctors prepare for the autopsy, Gregory thinks back
to yesterday, when he was making plans to help his girlfriend
(Barbara Bach) get out of the country.
Gregory begins piecing together the mystery of what happened
to him in fractured bits of memory, but will solving the puzzle
do him any good?
