EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Giombini Marcello (July 8, 1928, Rome - 12 December 2003, Assisi) was a very active composer during the sixties and seventies. His music was well-known for the western trilogy Sabata, but also for composing scores for cult horror films like "Antropophagus". Maestro Giombini was very active in writing beat style religious songs, but was also a prolific author of electronic music. Not a single note was ever released from "Gladiators 7" and now, after 54 years, we are releasing a double CD from the mono master tapes of the recording session which have survived until today in very good condition. The total length of the CDs is 91:46 minutes (with 4:22 minute suite with voices and sounds from the recording sessions). Marcello Giombini composed a heroic score to a march which is introduced in the opening credits (Tr.1 / CD1) and frequently returns throughout the OST. It is alternated with a tender love theme (Tr.5 / CD1). There's also plenty of music for the duel and battle scenes and an ethnic dance number as well. This CD a tribute to the musical art of Maestro Giombini, a wellrounded musician. For fans of Peplum this will undoubtedly be a collectible.
