L'Ingenua (1975) & L'Osceno Desiderio (1978)
Wow.
This Quartet album is listed as 'sold out' at their website.
http://www.quartetrecords.com/l-ingenua.html
I wonder if Quartet actually sold all printed copies of this (and other titles also designated as sold out), or have they adopted Intrada's policy of deleting stocks if there's no sufficient ongoing interest... ?

Is CEREMONIA SANGRIENTA (or THE LEGEND OF BLOOD CASTLE) any good?
You could also have mentioned that this will be released by Quartet this month!
Here it be!
I'm gonna blind-buy this CD - and I intend to order 2 of 'em. (this is not my typical purchasing habit, but I have in the past ordered 2 copies of items which I intuitively knew I would love - such as Alex North's 1952 Les Miserables in Varese's CD Club.)

Such wonderful news, indeed! Wow - it's more than 73 minutes.
The announcement of L'Ira di Achille forthcoming from Digitmovies makes this the 4th album of Carlo Savina music thus far into 2016. [only about 75 more (or thereabouts) unreleased Savina titles to await for  ].
Since L'Ira di Chille is not on the CDDM line, does this imply that Digitmovies has stopped designating volume #s within their Peplum series? (this should be volume XXXIII, following their previous Peplum XXXII - Nicolosi's La Regina delle Amazzoni)
In the 'must-have peplum' thread, http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?pageID=6&forumID=1&threadID=85687&archive=0 FSM member DavidRayner1947 remarked that Savina's Fury of Achilles is his favorite; I hope he's still around to witness this finally getting released.
"My favourite has always been ACHILLES (released in 1963) with music by Carlo Savina. The music is often better than the film in this one, but it does have it moments. The title was changed to FURY OF ACHILLES for the American market. I've seen the opening titles to the American version on YouTube and incredibly, the title music on it is played backwards! To hear the music played properly, see the British release version (not yet on DVD) or the Italian DVD under its original title L'IRA DE ACHILLE."
&
"I'm glad to hear the ACHILLES tapes still exist. Savina was a great composer and conductor and, although the movie ACHILLES was never going to win any Oscars, his score for it was excellent. You never know, an LP of the score may well have been released in Italy at the time. If so, though, I've never come across it."

My order for Contronatura arrived this week.
I hadn't realized until I listened to it how much 1920s source music was in this album.
The dramatic score (in mono) is around 24 minutes & 50 seconds; there's about 19 minutes & 45 seconds of stereo source music, much of it in clichéd '20s flapper/ragtime mo(u)ld with muted trumpets and strumming banjos.
The underscore is good and a bit more varied than we've come to expect from the usual Savina album, but Beat & Digitmovies opted to alternate cues between mono score & stereo dance band instead of relegated all source music into a bonus section.
This program hampers (for me, anyway) the overall listening experience and I consider Contronatura to be a disappoint with respect to my expectations.
Any other FSM member wish to chime in with feedback on this title?

Yeah, Contronatura sounds more like a period-piece mystery than any horror film.
Might make a good listening primer for RRB's Murder on the Orient Express...
...also, its CD booklet credits this album production as done in October 2015 by Beat.
We didn't get the pre-order announcement until February '16 - and via Digitmovies instead of Beat.

Will do. Sounds like Shirley Bassey in the title song.
Yeah. That title song called "Nightmare" (uploaded into YouTube) amazingly blends Hefti's 2-note Batman theme with a bass guitar line from Mancini's Peter Gunn and a leading vocal in James Bond mold.

Gotta love those Italian knock-offs of American pop culture!
