Bruno Nicolai: 100000 Dollari Per Ringo (Original Soundtrack) - Limited 180-Gram Transparent Orange Colored Vinyl with CD

The soundtrack of "100,000 Dollars for Ringo", composed by the talented Bruno Nicolai, represents a pillar of the Italian western music scene. This 1965 film, directed by Alberto de Martino, tells the story of Lee Barton (played by Richard Harrison), a gunslinger who returns to his hometown in search of revenge and redemption. While following the classic narrative patterns of the western, the film stands out for it's emotional intensity and some directorial ideas that bring freshness to the genre. Bruno Nicolai, collaborator of Ennio Morricone and author of numerous Italian soundtracks, manages with "100,000 Dollars for Ringo" to create a sound universe that amplifies the atmosphere of the film. The work combines poignant melodies and tension-filled songs, capturing both the sense of melancholy and the impending danger typical of the western world. The main theme stands out for it's evocative melody, built around a masterful use of the guitar, harmonica and strings. This motif is both epic and intimate, reflecting the protagonist's inner conflicts. Nicolai uses a variety of instruments, such as the harpsichord and percussion, to add an almost baroque dimension to certain passages, making the score unique compared to contemporary works. Another highlight is the use of the choir, which enters the scene during the most dramatic moments. It's function is not only decorative, but adds an almost spiritual quality, underlining the themes of revenge and redemption that permeate the film's plot. The film's narrative is based on the dualism between action and introspection, and the soundtrack perfectly follows this rhythm. During the shootouts and action scenes, Nicolai adopts pressing rhythms, with drums and brass instruments that increase the viewer's adrenaline. In the more reflective moments, however, the music becomes more intimate, with slow and melancholic melodies that accompany Lee Barton's internal torment. Although the film does not reach the levels of fame of other westerns of the period, Nicolai's soundtrack has a strong and autonomous identity, so much so that it is appreciated even outside the cinematographic context. The orchestral quality and emotional richness make it an essential listening for lovers of film music. Bruno Nicolai, with the soundtrack of "100,000 Dollars for Ringo", once again demonstrates his ability to create music that not only supports, but elevates the source material. This work, while not enjoying the same notoriety as Morricone's soundtracks, is a hidden gem that deserves to be rediscovered. If the film represents a classic western with a story of revenge and justice, the soundtrack transforms it into an emotional experience that remains etched in the memory for a long time. Now available in transparent orange / 180 gram double vinyl format, limited edition numbered 1000 copies, for the first time with some unreleased tracks on vinyl format.
