Vamos A Matar Companeros / I Crudeli / Che C' Entriamo Noi Con La Rivoluzione? (Original Soundtracks)

This 1986 release by the Italian label Intermezzo serves as a compilation of Ennio Morricone’s scores for three distinct spaghetti westerns: 'Vamos a Matar, Compañeros' (1970), 'I Crudeli' (1967), and 'Che c'entriamo noi con la rivoluzione?' (1972). Released during a period of renewed interest in the cult cinema of the 1960s and 70s, the album was curated for collectors looking to consolidate the soundtracks of these politically charged and stylistically bold films. It reflects the experimental period of Morricone’s career, where he moved away from traditional orchestration to incorporate dissonant sounds, chanting, and unconventional instrumentation to underscore the grit of the genre.

The album reflects the collaborative spirit between Morricone and directors like Sergio Corbucci, whose work often pushed the boundaries of the western genre by blending violent action with satire and revolutionary themes. Morricone’s approach to these scores was intentional, focusing on motifs that emphasized the chaos and cynicism inherent in the narratives. The design and presentation by Intermezzo were aimed at the burgeoning market for specialized soundtrack preservation, providing enthusiasts with high-fidelity pressings of scores that had previously been scattered across various international formats.
