Nico Fidenco - Nico Fidenco - The Essentials (Original Soundtrack) (2025)

The album "The Essentials" serves as a fundamental anthology of the works of Italian composer Nico Fidenco (born Domenico Colarossi). This compilation covers a wide spectrum of cinematic genres the maestro worked in, showcasing his evolution from classical orchestrations to experimental funk and disco.

The tracklist includes key compositions from iconic Italian genre films (B-movies):

Spaghetti Westerns: Represented by tracks from “Lo voglio morto” and “John Il Bastardo”, where Fidenco utilizes genre-defining guitar riffs and choral arrangements (featuring I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni).

Sci-Fi: The track “Space Bossa” from the movie “2+5 Missione Hydra” (directed by Pietro Francisci) demonstrates the lounge aesthetic of the 60s.

Exploitation and Erotica: A significant portion of the compilation is dedicated to Fidenco's collaboration with director Joe D'Amato. Tracks from “Porno Holocaust”, “Sesso nero”, and “Eros Perversion” are characterized by a thick, dark groove, the use of synthesizers, and disco elements, creating a tense yet alluring atmosphere.
