Atmo ‎– Telegiornale (1971, LP, Italy)




Top Rare and very hard to find Italian Library on the infamous Octopus label by maestro Amedeo Tommasi under his alias "Atmo". Very obscure record with dark and spooky sounds scoring themes for films and television. Catching and heavy Jazz grooves switching between Atonal Psych, Avant-garde cues and TV Score themes like this LP was intented to be (Telegiornale = news). One of the deepest Tommasi's jam with threatening Jazzy drums, Free Jazz arrangements played by a obscure line-up, Avant-garde/Experimental compositions / Moody Jazz themes / disturbing and tense atmospheres. Enoy the long clip: https://soundcloud.com/armagideon-times/amedeo-tommasi-telegiornale-1971-rare-italian-dark-jazz-avant-library

Side A opens with the catching Jazz groove of "ULTIME NOTIZIE", "IL PERSONAGGIO DEL GIORNO" follows with dark Jazzy Breaks played through drums and doublebass solo. "DAL NOSTRO INVIATO SPECIALE" is another nice Jazz sample, lovely Night Club Mood music with great oddtempo Jazzy drumming and central Tommasi's Piano notes. "EPISODIO DI CRONACA" gives the spooky Jazz drums and contrabass solo again, "CRISI POLITICA" dramatic Giallo instrumentation. On the other side we find the insane Fuzz Electronics of "COLPO DI STATO", Drama mood and Atonal Psychedelic beat. Minimal/Avant-garde compositions in "LUTTO NAZIONALE", "TENSIONE INTERNAZIONALE" and the impressive "PROBLEMA ECOLOGICO". "AVVENIMENTO DRAMMATICO" is Egisto Macchi inspired jam with dramatic chorus and sophisticated Drama Avant-garde. "AVVENIMENTO SPORTIVO" Minimal Free Jazz vibes. "RIPRESA ESTERNA" breaks the side with a nice Lounge Jazz theme. Great and complex album, very Rare Italian Library LP! (popsike)

Amedeo Tommasi ‎– Thomas (1970, LP, Italy)

Mindmelting and totally killer diabolic groove from the evil echoes of "SHAKE TRAGICO": totally OUTSTANDING cinematic scary beats with frightful chorus and downtempo knitted drums loop. The best dramatic Thrilling notes played on obessive killer beat, INSANE!. "THOMAS" main theme is an enchanting Jazzy Lounge arrangement by the maestro including Edda Dell'Orso's bewitching vocals: laid-back, descriptive panoramic vibes even romantic inspired themes driven by chorus and strings, also accompained by glistening piano, Harpsichord and sophisticated percussions. Outstanding suspense themes describing tense and dramatic moments like the esoteric and frightening vibes of "SPIRALE", the hallucinogenic beats of "PENDOLO MORTALE", the esoteric sounds of "SPIRALE" and the great Avant-garde suspense "OBSESSION". Happy vibes with cheerful chorus on "GIOCHI NEL PARCO" featuring a dark background refrain. Italian Soundtrack masterpiece and essential drug for Record Collectors and Italian Library/Soundtracks addicts.

Italian Soundtrack milestone and pure masterpiece of Italian Giallo Thriller exploitation. Infamous, legendary Score for the film directed by cult italian director Pupi Avati and originally released on Gemelli label in 1970. Mindblowing scary Giallo vibes / stunning cinematic sinister beats with the participation of Edda Dell'Orso who gives some astonishing frightful vocals / dope thrilling vibes allover. THOMAS aka THOMAS E GLI INDEMONIATI - Horror/Thriller/Fantasy/Drama/Grotesque film cult from 1969, originally not distributed due to the bankrupt of film publisher. Mythical item for record collectors and foundamental piece for any italian Giallo/Thriller enthusiast.(Sonormusiceditions)
