alessandro alessandroni Prisma Sonoro (LP, £26.95)

This superb collection of '74 recordings offers bossa infected with mild lysergic delirium, enchanting harpsichord melodies measured against scowling Giallo style guitars, mournful string arrangements and the sublimely plaintive voice of Edda Dell'Orso. Composer Alessandro Alessandroni was one of the central figures of 1960s/'70s Italian film music.
