'L'Arcangelo' ('The Archangel') is a 1969 comedy characterised by police and judiciary tones, directed by Giorgio Capitani and starring, among others, Vittorio Gassman, Pamela Tiffin, Adolfo Celi, Irina Demick and Carlo Delle Piane. This soundtrack follows the previous 'La Notte E Fatta Per... Rubare' ('The Night Is Made For Stealing') which marked the beginning of Umiliani's collaboration with the director. Mainly displaying a Latin American flavour, it contains several elements typical of the composer's style, mixing bossa nova and samba with beat rhythms and Hammond organ, and is enriched by various vocal contributions from Alessandro Alessandroni's Cantori Moderni and the delightful scat singing of Giulia De Mutiis, one of the choir's female voices. Distorted electric guitars with orchestral ensemble also create an atmosphere between spy and detective story. None of 'The Archangel' tracks have ever been released in any form for many years, and to date there are only three CD editions only issued in Japan. This clear yellow vinyl version therefore fills a void and finally returns these wonderful compositions to us in the format that suits them best!
