Goblin

If you love cinematic soundtracks then they don't come much finer than Goblin's music for Dario Argento's film Profondo Rosso (which means deep red.) Made in 1974 and released a year later, it finds both at the height of their powers and results in a true musical masterpiece despite being originally commissioned to jazzman Giorgio Gaslini. Instead., the younger foursome of Claudio Simonetti who played keys, Massimo Morante on guitars, Fabio Pignatelli on bass and stickman Walter Martino were all given the gig and served up plenty of high speed jazz-funk thrillers, dark and menacing melodies and fusions of Italian music, progressive rock, jazz-rock and much more.
