Fabio Frizzi - Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) '2018

Tracks list

Italian composer Fabio Frizzi is best known for his eerie scores for European
horror movies. A frequent collaborator with Italian horror icon Lucio Fulci,
Frizzis music was often built using analog synthesizers, with their fuzzy sound
adding a layer of creepiness to his downbeat melodies. Fabio Frizzi was born in
Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy on July 2, 1951. As a teenager, Frizzi was
passionate about both movies and music, and he formed a trio with fellow
musicians Franco Bixio and Vince Tempera to write and perform music for movies
and TV. In 1968, Frizzi and his partners scored a spaghetti Western, Ed ora...
raccomanda lanima a Dio! (aka And Now, Make Your Peace with God), and by the
mid-70s he was scoring several pictures a year. In 1975, Frizzi was hired to
write music for I quattro dellapocalisse (aka Four of the Apocalypse), a Western
directed by journeyman director Lucio Fulci. Four years later, when Fulci was
asked to direct a horror film inspired by George A. Romeros Dawn of the Dead, he
brought Frizzi in to score the picture. The movie, Zombie (aka Zombi 2), was an
international success, and as Fulcis name became synonymous with Italian horror
(the gorier the better), Frizzi developed an underground following. Frizzis
scores for City of the Living Dead (aka Paura nella città dei morti viventi),
The Beyond (aka ...E tu vivrai nel terrore! Laldilà), Manhattan Baby, and
many other made him a cult hero among horror fans. In 2003, Quentin Tarantino
paid homage to Frizzis work for Fulci, including an excerpt from the score for
1977s The Psychic (aka Sette note in nero) in the soundtrack to Kill Bill, Vol.
1. In the 21st century, Death Waltz Recording Company, an independent label
devoted to releasing horror film scores in high-quality editions, began issuing
several of Frizzis scores, raising his profile even higher among horror fans and
collectors of musical esoterica. In October 2015, Frizzi performed in the United
States for the first time; the composer and an eight-piece orchestra staged five
North American concerts focusing on Frizzis work for Fulci. ~ Mark Deming
