Mod music from vintage Italian soundtracks – the kinds of cuts you'd hear when the scene moved to a hip nightclub in Rome, or dancefloor in Milan – or when the action got plenty heated, and the score called for a hard-driving number to match the images on the screen! The cuts here are really wonderfully selected – and come from spy, crime, and more erotic films of the time – all packaged together with the same beautiful look and lovely sound as the other releases in this great series – a treasure trove of excellent music, even if you already have a lot of other Italian soundtracks in your collection! There's definitely some familiar numbers here, but there's also plenty that are new to our ears too (Dusty Groove)
