Title: Mid 60s acid space-jazz from the estimable Piccioni
Review: Piccioni had some camp fun with this one when he scored the funny, smart sci-fi satire starring Marcello M and Ursula Andress in 1965, but he also grabbed the opportunity to invent and thereby presage some of what was to come in pop music in later decades (jazz fusion/scat rap/acid jazz/loungeadelic). The score's a little repetitive for me and works best alongside its source, but Mina's scat vocal on "Spiral Waltz" is memorable. Can a draw a picture of this music? Well, imagine Judy Jetson and Astro the Dog on ecstasy, maybe. But you must, you simply must, see the film; it's a masterpiece of production design.
