With off-kilter pianos, brooding strings, music box, sitar, electric harpsichord, electric guitar, whistler, and groovy source tunes, Mancini's Wait Until Dark (1967) totally sounds like it could've been written for a giallo. For all I know, it may have served as an inspiration to the maestros of the genre. Listen/buy: http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/cds/detail.cfm/CDID/383/Wait-Until-Dark/

Agreed! I mentioned as much in a thread about that album, and got beat up for it!

There are, of course, American thrillers such as EYES OF LAURA MARS (scored by Artie Kane) and Brian DePalma's suspense films usually scored by Donaggio or Sakamoto, which aren't officially called giallos but are certainly influenced by the spirit of Argento et al. Some of Roy Budd's scores mix cool orchestral suspense licks with groovy pop. I'm not sure which I should choose as the best example though.

The French Connection by Don Ellis (the complete score) could have been a wild score for a Giallo.
