Calibro 35 - Ritornano Quelli Di...

Calibro 35, a killer band performing classic and obscure themes from 60’s and 70’s soundtracks are set to release their debut UK album – ‘Ritornano Queli di… Calibro 35’ – on 12th July. The band aim to bring something contemporary to the compositions but still remaining very respectful to the originals, with a mixture between jazz, funk, rock, classical and improvisation that made the Italian soundtracks known worldwide. ‘Ritornano Queli di… Calibro 35’ was recorded and mixed in Milan in 2009 by Tommaso Colliva. The album contains 5 covers, 4 of which are soundtracks to famous Italian cop movies composed by some of the greatest Italian film composers, and 8 original songs. The cover versions are: ‘Cinque Bambole per La Luna di Agosto’ by Piero Umiliani (from the 1970’s Mario Bava movie with the same title, (starring William Berger, Ira von Fürstenberg, Edwige Fenech), ‘La Morte Accarezza Mezzanotte’ by Gianni Ferrio (from a movie directed by Luciano Ercole), ‘Il Consigliori’ by Riz Ortolani (from the 1973 Alberto De Martino movie with the same title), ‘Milano Odia: La Polizia Non Può Sparare’ by Ennio Morricone (from the 1974 movie directed by Umberto Lenzi). The other cover song ‘SweetBeat’ is a 1979 library track composed by Stefano Torossi.But ‘Ritornano Quelli di…Calibro 35’ not only contains covers of the themes and the atmospheres of the detective films' soundtracks, it also shines with some original tracks composed by Calibro 35, which would have fit particularly well in those 1970’s movies and the band shows they can easily move along funk, rock jazz and improvisation. The artwork of the cd was conceived by Giuliano Nistri, one of the biggest Italian cinema poster designers (Fellini, Antonioni, Kubrick, De Sica)
