Based on the idea of a Ulysses-like character who uses his brain against his violent opponents, the film tells the story of peace-loving bounty hunter Ross Logan who takes revenge on his brother's killers by turning his foes against each other while using a natural phenomenon to defeat them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarting off with the \"Sandstorm\" song performed by I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni, the opening credits use familiar Sergio Leone-inspired titles of aggressively tinted movie scenes played against animated opening credits. The score features two different organs, including a church organ for Logan's love of astronomy. Some of the other highlights include haunting vocal effects, Lavagnino's signature percussion work over sustained organ notes, and \"Follow Me,\" a dance number that unwittingly sows seeds of discontent within the gang of marauders. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA selection of 18 tracks was issued on LP by Cinevox when the film came out, and the same program (plus an 11-minute suite with unreleased cues and takes) was reissued in a Lavagnino western compilation on Saimel in 2006. This new CD, produced by Claudio Fuiano and mastered by Chris Malone from first-generation master tapes courtesy of Cinevox, features the original program augmented with previously unreleased cues and a bonus suite of surviving stereo cues. The lavishly illustrated 12-page liner notes by Gergely Hubai discuss the film and the score.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40878721073249,"sku":"8436560845218","price":16.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_10702971_1082268.jpg?v=1718276107","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/8436560845218-requiem-per-un-gringo","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
