Ennio Morricone Dario Argento Trilogy

Ennio Morricone has scored some of the best loved films in history, and some directors are smart enough to get him back more than once. Argento was one of those directors; here’s a collection of three great soundtracks Dario Argento brought the maestro on board to do.

An Ennio Morricone-Dario Argento Trilogy features Morricone’s work on The Bird With The Crystal Plumage, The Cat O’ Nine Tails, and Four Flies on Grey Velvet. He’s in full-on experimental mode in some places on this disc, in others he’s got the classic melodic-yet-doomy sound Morricone’s famous for. Newcomers to Morricone will revel in this, the rest of us love this because it’s an amazing listening experience.

Of the three films, The Bird With The Crystal Plumage is probably the best, but Four Flies on Grey Velvet is pretty good in its remastered form. Some disagree, but it’s a favorite here partially because of, (rather than in spite of) its shortcomings.

Turntabling has a little stock of this great addition to the DRG Classic Italian Soundtracks series. An Ennio Morricone-Dario Argento Trilogy is a new, sealed compact disc. Buy it now while supplies last for $14 plus shipping. Overseas shipping is $10.





Want to Release an Album on Vinyl?

If you’re an indie musician looking to release that first-ever title on vinyl, there’s a whole new world of learning you’ll need to explore before you can get your masterpiece on that lovely spinning platter.

Turntabling Records has been plotting its own vinyl album–my previous releases were all on CD–and I can tell you there is much to take in. How do you get an album mastered for vinyl as opposed to compact disc? What are the audio tolerances? How long should each side be for good, middle of the road audio fidelity?

If you’re a newcomer to this (like me) you should definitely have a look at this primer on vinyl record manufacturing. If you don’t know what plating is, or how much lead time to give your record at the pressing plant, consider this a Vinyl 101 lesson that can help you start your journey.

Oh, and once you get your album pressed, be sure to get in touch with me here at Turntabling–I’d love to hear it.

Ennio Morricone Quentin Tarantino Trilogy Soundtrack CD

For Sale, , , , ,

Ennio-Morricone-Quentin-Tarantino-Trilogy soundtrack CD Kind of Blue Records

Now selling at Turntabling; The Ennio Morricone Quentin Tarantino trilogy. Thrill to the Morricone sounds heard in Kill Bill 2, Death Proof, and Inglorious Basterds. Some of the greatest work the maestro has ever done–and it’s a shame that he hasn’t been brought on board to do an original score for a Tarantino flick, but until that day (if it ever comes) this will do nicely, thank you.

This 12-track collection features the outstanding Mystic and Severe, plus Paranoia Prima and Algiers November 1954. I know plenty of Turntabling readers out there aren’t exactly Tarantino fanboys, but there’s no arguing with the maestro–Morricone is the bomb no matter what packaging his work comes in.

Ennio Morricone: Quentin Tarantino Movies is a brand new, sealed import from Switzerland. Get it now while supplies last for $16.00 plus shipping. Overseas shipping is $13.





Secret Stash Records–A New Vinyl Goldmine

Soviet Funk Secret Stash Records

A few weeks ago, Secret Stash Records dropped some sweet vinyl releases in the Turntabling mailbox. Things got crazy round here but now that the dust has settled and there’s been a spare second to listen to the releases from this Minnesota-based label, I can report that this is a label to watch for vinyl lovers–especially if you’re into funk, soul, and related sounds.

Secret Stash’s most important releases so far, for my money, are the Porno Groove collection (on pink vinyl!) and the Mad Dog’s Hustle original soundtrack record. I loved these two titles and strongly recommend them. Look for reviews of both coming later this week along with another Secret Stash LP.

The image above is for the latest release on Secret Stash, Soviet Funk Volume One. I am very excited about this album, and you should be too. Stay tuned, vinyl lovers. And be sure to check out Secret Stash for the latest news and info. This label is doing great things in 2010!
