Heads up ! If you decide to get this goody, make sure to also stick a copy of Shake Sauvage in your bin as well - - same label, but escargot style. - - Both CDs are incredibly hard hitting... I'll leave it up to you to decide which is funkier... Personally speaking I'm leaning towards Shake Sauvage... however, if you don't have BOTH, you'll be missing out either way... (the I-talian style action funk seems to be a bit more hard edged and trippy (you can really imagine those wild chase scenes) - - in contrast, Shake Sauvage seems to me to be more Jazzed out....) By the way, check out Sammy Barbot's funky vocals on "Mark" - - Is he really doing the James Brown thing in Italian ? - - The high point of this CD overall is track number 4 - - Blazing Magnum... worth the purchase of the CD alone -- as well as a vocal track in English by a group callled Susi and Guy called Driving All Around. I definitely want to check them out some more.
The music on this compilation is funky and wicked... Blaxploitation style funk... those wild wa wa chase themes with the sizzlin congas, screaming violins, funky horn hits... its all there... Some tracks feature James Brown inspired vocals, others are hard hitting instrumentals...
Like Shake Sauvage, the CD comes with a nice little nifty booklet with plenty of illustrations and backround on the Italian action movie cinema.
Fans of rare groove, acid Jazz and ultra funky '70s music will dig this majorly... Next, I'd really like to see some of those funky early '70s Hammond laden porno soundtracks on CD... Whatever, hope this label decides to release more compilations like this !
