Goblin
Il Fantastico Viaggio Del Bagarozzo Mark
*2022 stock* Year 1978. The Italian Prog was beginning to lose ground. They were times of punk and new wave. Area, in that same year, published a disc from the title rather explanatory: Gli Dèi se ne vanno, Gli arrabbiati restano: The Gods go away, The angry remain. The "Gods", at the time, could be understood as the champions of progressive and experimental rock. The "angry" ones, instead, were the "irreducible" protesters who, shortly thereafter, would have given life to other seasons of under…
Squadra Antigangsters (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
*2022 stock* The Squadra Antigangsters soundtrack is one of the most unusual and atypical entries in the Goblin canon. Even the most dedicated fans of the group could be excused for not recognizing this album as a Goblin outing: the brash theatrics and heaviness that dominated the likes of Suspiria and Roller are totally absent, replaced by a slick, often jazzy sound that is overtly disco-influenced. The most disco-oriented of the cuts are "The Whip" and "The Sound of Money," both being vocal nu…
Notturno
*2022 stock* Goblin's name is very popular since the year of "Profondo Rosso" (1975), but even those who know them in depth "Notturno" remains an almost completely unknown chapter within their vast discography. The production the music was composed for was edited in two versions, a theatrical one released in 1983 and a television one in seven episodes that was broadcasted only three years later.Led at the time by Fabio Pignatelli (bass), Maurizio Guarini (keyboards) and Antonio Marangolo (saxoph…
Profondo Rosso
*2022 stock* Cinevox present a 2-CD expanded edition of cult score Profondo Rosso, Recorded in 1975, the score finds the band at the height of their creativity and features the incredible lineup of Simonetti, Morante, Pignatelli & Martino. Bass & drums are so tight on this record and provide the foundations for the entire score. Jazz, Prog and Rock signatures all fight for center stage yet always manage to be precise, clear and perfectly executed. Synths and organs tinkle, wail and moan and more…
Roller
* Limited edition on crystal vinyl. 180 gr. Gatefold Cover * Roller was the second record for Goblin, originally released in 1976, just after the successful score of Profondo Rosso, and is one of the very few Goblin records that was not intended to be a soundtrack. By many considered their best effort, in Roller the band develops their dark, hypnotic and totally instrumental sound, but with an always vivacious and dynamic edge. The record also features new members Agostino Marangolo (from Flea) …
La via della droga
** Crystal Clear LP ** The term 'cult', in reference to artistic productions, can have two meanings: the first concerns those works that have become so famous by crossing the barriers of a specific genre of belonging and being part of a global culture, something that 'one can't be unaware of'; the second one refers to what was unjustly neglected at the time of its release, and that has only recently been rediscovered and re-evaluated by a small group of enthusiasts. In this second sense, "La via…

Greatest Hits Vol. 2 1979-2001
** 180gr. Green Fluo coloured vinyl edition.** The first Goblin’s Greatest Hits volume, released in mid-2020 and filled with the unprecedented masterpieces that made them famous worldwide as the masters of movie soundtrack makers, is now followed by this second chapter that wisely covers the second part of the band’s career.

Tenebre
“Tenebre” is the soundtrack of the eponymous film directed by Dario Argento in 1982, which celebrated today its 30th anniversary. Even if released as ‘Simonetti – Pignatelli – Morante’, it’s usually considered an actual Goblin album; as many people know, the ‘real’ Goblin were releasing the LP “Volo” at the same time, and the band’s name and logo could not be used for copyright reasons.
“Tenebre” is the last great collaboration between Argento and Goblin: here Dario Argento moved from full and w…
Dawn of the Dead
**Limited Transparent Lime Vinyl** Rustblade presents Claudio Simonetti and his Goblin playing and reinterpreting the score of one of the most famous horror movies of all times to celebrate 40 years of the idolised film Dawn of the Dead directed by George Romero and produced by Dario Argento. The music that accompanies the movie is a mix of prog and electronic rock full of tension and magic tribalism. Piercing guitars, synth orchestration and virtualism give life to thousands of blood thirsty zo…
Greatest Hits Vol. 1 1975-79
** 180gr. red coloured vinyl edition.** In the ’60s, Ennio Morricone renewed the world of soundtracks in such a radical way that it is still influential today, thanks to his collaboration with film director Sergio Leone. In the following decade, another artistic partnership, the one between Goblin and Dario Argento, made a second revolution in the same field, in particular in the music of thriller and horror films. A full global scale renewal, which has inspired a myriad of artists in the decade…
Bersaglio altezza uomo
An amazing disco-prog tune with funky basslines, sustained by obsessive clavinet and lead by a dope space moog. A killer track still underrated and unknown today, where members of Goblin play uncredited. The whole story about the relationship between maestro Stelvio Cipriani and Goblin’s Claudio Simonetti, Fabio Pignatelli, Massimo Morante, and Agostino Marangolo is still to be written.
Yell
Inside the vast Goblin archive, "Yell" is perhaps one of the less well-known tracks, that undoubtedly deserves no less attention that the band's most famous works. It's a song composed for bass guitar, percussion and keyboards where an opening reminiscent of "L'alba dei Morti Viventi" is followed by a sudden vibe change, due to the quick entrance of all the other instruments: electric piano chords, a pulsating bass, obscure synths and twisted keyboards still preserve that mix of tension and and …
Squadra Antigangsters
“Squadra Antigangsters” (The Gang that Sold America) is one of over ten films produced between the ‘70s and ’80s in which the actor Tomas Milian plays the role of Police Marshal / Inspector Nico Giraldi, probably the most famous character out of the typical Italian detective films of that period, which were in practice Giallo movies with a strong comedy component. The film is set in the United States, and the soundtrack sounds very American, starting from the first two songs, interpreted …

Suspiria - 40th anniversary box
** 300 copies only, sold out at source ** Goblin, Dario Argento, Suspiria. Never as in this case any possible noun or adjective is superfluous, in an effort to describe with words what can be simply addressed to, in the end, with just a single essential term: Masterpiece. Even more than with the previous "Profondo Rosso" (1975), it is with "Suspiria" (1977) that the legendary bound between the Argento and Goblin reached its peak, to a level that has never been reached before to date.Four d…
Phenomena
"Phenomena", a film by Dario Argento from 1985, is today an international cult classic of horror cinema, born once again from the Italian director’s incredible imagination. The original soundtrack was a mix of songs from the duo Simonetti-Pignatelli, made specifically for the film, together with others already published by Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Andi Sex Gang and Bill Wyman.A fragmentary score, that in this reissue edited by AMS Records makes sense now, as it focuses solely on the production si…
