The very first release of legendary Italian composer Gianfranco Reverberi’s hidden masterpiece: a mind-blowing soundtrack, possibly his wildest and most daring. The rare score to the equally rare mondo film from 1973 ‘Rivelazioni Di Uno Psichiatra Sul Mondo Perverso Del Sesso’ aka ‘Revelations of a Psychiatrist on the World of Sexual Perversion’. Includes the incredibly sought-after tune, ‘Psicolimite’.
While the film, despite some critics praising it as “psychotronic” is a bizarre mishmash of rambling pseudo-psychoanalytic theories and sexual deviance voyeurism, the music stands out as a foremost, vital element, able to exist on its own.
This score that Reverberi put together and recorded is experimental, at times raw, and driven by a relentless rhythm section where bass and drums lay down the groove. The use of electronic instruments is impressive for the time, with drum machines and spacey synths creating a dark and dreamlike atmosphere. Psychedelic flutes, piano phrases, crazed percussion, filters, compressors, and jazzy improvisations on sax and vibraphone complete the mix.
The full soundtrack was recovered following the discovery of the original 1-inch, 16-track tapes, which were transferred, mixed, and mastered for optimal listening on both vinyl and digitally, with the digital version featuring 8 bonus tracks.
