    • Johan: My rating: 3 points on 5. Several very good tracks, but also some weak ones. Styles range from belly dance music to playful banjo playing, cocktail piano jazz, funky and Near-Eastern "now" sound with great electric guitar, and Ann-Margret singing 2 songs.

    • Johan: My rating: 2 points on 5. This spy soundtrack from 1967 must be the weakest Umiliani score I've ever heard. Very badly produced, with a thin sound, boring melodies and uninspired arrangements, endless repetitions of the same theme... not recommended at all

    • Jack Diamond: totally right there with that greasy James Brown groove full tilt instro funk from 1970! In the style of James Brown's Black Caesar, Slaughter's Big Rip Off and Payback Soundtracks. Raunchy Horns and gritty ORGAN blowin' over a relentlessly pounding rhythm section creating tight ass rough heaviness that has not existed in music since too many years!" * liner quote: "In the style of James Brown's "Slaughter's Big Ripoff", "Black Caesar", and "Payback" soundtracks, The Soul Providers' "Revenge of Mr. Mopoji soundtrack is all funk. Raunchy horns and gritty organ blow over a relentlessly pounding rhythm section, creating the kind of tight, rough heaviness that has been absent from records for too many years." Brother Cleve tells me this is not a "real" soundtrack...
    • G.R. Reader: fairly lame funk apart from the animal noises on side 2.

• Ringo Il Caviliere Solitario/ Una Colt In Pugno Al Diavolo/ L'ultimo Mercenario [music by Francesco De Masi/ Gian Piero Reverberi/ Bruno Nicolai]
  • CD, Beat CDCR 32, Italy, 199?
  • comment:
    • Moon Dawg: Ringo il Caviliere Solitario: 7 tracks; Una Colt in Pugno al Diavolo: 4; L'Ultimo Mercenario: 8. Odd combination. De Masi's score is very good. The few tracks from Reverberi's are even better. But Nicolai's doesn't belong here, as it goes to a WWII movie, so you don't get all that much spaghetti per dollar spent.

  • comment:
    • Johan: My rating: 1 points on 5. Soundtrack for Jackie Chan's first Hollywood movie from 1998. Lalo mixes western rhythms with exotic Chinese instrumentations, a bit like "Enter the Dragon", but it's not funky at all, this is symphonic bombast; only yhe title theme is groovy, the rest is bland filler.
