Il Gigante Di Metropolis
Kronos Records will release for the first time ever in any format the soundtrack
for Il Gigante Di Metropolis (The Giant Of Metropolis), a 1961 Italian film
by Umberto Scarpelli starring Bella Cortez, Roldano Lupi and legendary muscleman
Gordon Mitchell in the main role. The film was a unique hybrid of 2 genres very popular
at the time, Peplum and Sci-Fi. Whereas the second is not as evident as the first once
can still definitely call the film a hybrid of the two.
The music has definitely played a major role in putting the sci-fi element under a stronger light.
The music for this unique film was composed by Italian legendary composer
Maestro Armando Trovajoli; whose music carreer spanned for over 60 years!

The Gods" and "The Conquest Of Chile"), a 1971 Italo-Spanish-Chilean coproduction,
directed by Julio Coll, starring Elsa Martinellia and Venantino Venantini.

Maestro Carlo Savina; music director of films such as Coppola's The Godfather (1972),
Fellini's Amarcord (1973), Annaud's The Bear (1988) and close collaborator of various
great composers of the 20th century such as Morricone, Trovajoli, Rota, Nascimbene,
Myers, Sondheim, Sarde and none less than the legendary Miklós Rózsa.
 
Canterbury N° 2
The third release in The Gold Collection of Kronos Records is - again for the first time

also known as Tales Of Canterbury. This 1973 film starring Patrizia Adiutori, Rik Battaglia,
Shirley Corrigan and Federico Boido was directed by John Shadow aka Aristide Massacesi,
known to the public as Joe D'Amato. In this film Geoffrey Chaucer (yes the writer),
escorted by Knight Quick, is located in an inn along other pilgrims going to Canterbury.
As the bad weather prevents their departure, the gathering kill time by telling by stories,
of a very specific kind...
