[MR012]Nacho Patrol - The Maze of Violence
(Il Labirinto di Roma Violenta)
>>>LP cover<<<
This obscure lost soundtrack for an even more obscure (and also lost and
never finished) "Italia violenta" cop movie was recently discovered when I
bought the dusty reel tapes from a restaurant owner in Fiumicino, a
seaside town near Rome.
"Panter 777" aka "Il Labirinto di Roma Violenta" aka "The
Maze of Violence", he told me, was directed by Gervasio Giardano in 1981 and was
considered too (politically) explicit by the movie production company who
dropped the project after the first screening.
Apparently heavily influenced by the cult poliziesco "La polizia sta a guardare" (Ransom! Police is Watching) it tells the story about a corrupt cop who plans to kidnap some big industrial boss as an act of revenge after the cop's daughter dies in a chemical waste accident.
He discovers the involvement of the catholic church and the goverment and
gets entangled in a maze of corruptness and violence.
The soundtrack, an explosion of wahwah funk riffs and juicy analog
synthesizers, was composed by an obscure band called Nacho Patrol.
The restaurant owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, was one of the band
members and composed most of the tracks.
