Excellent compilation in the Easy Tempo series
Tim Buckley | Amsterdam Netherlands | 12/31/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This CD contains one of the best compositions of Ennio Morricone I've heard so far: Adonai. The track is not available anywhere else (although the complete OST of the movie is available on an Italian release as well). This track alone is worth the buying the complete CD.
Then, as a bonus, you get Umiliani's "L'arcangelo" which is one of the few well-known Italian movie tracks outside of Italy and deserves to be.
If you start building an Italian soundtrack collection (and you already have the 3CD Mondo Morricone set) go for this one."
Volume 5 Aptly Sub-Titled: A Slammin' Cinematic Experience

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Just a flat out great collection of instrumentals that were once just backing soundtrack music but now lives on as a reminder of a time when every note was important - each track now lives on as: easy listening, bossa nova, 60's spy themes, class A jazz tracks, dance chill, or as fun lounge tracks. Each track is great in its own way and unveils the musicianship that takes you back to another time. Just great."
THE BEST NEO-LOUNGE, JAZZODELIC CD AROUND
L. S. Slaughter | Chapel Hill, NC | 04/27/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Well, Volume 3 is killer, too.... Easy Tempo does the hippestpackaging on earth. These are all soundtrack morsels from late 60searly 70s crime-gangster-softccore porn Italian flicks, and the composers are first-rate folk like Piccioni and Umilani. Volumes 1, 3, 5 and 6 are astonishly good stuff, not just hip-kitsch."
