Egisto Macchi (1928-1992) has long existed in the shadow of his friend and
famous collaborator Ennio Morricone. As Morricone melded pop idioms and
western scores, Macchi too melded classicism, the avant garde and early
electronic music. Aside from his frequent collaborations with Morricone.
Macchi was a busy film (LSD Inferno, Bandidos, The Assassination Of
Trotsky) and TV (E.S.P, many commercials with Mario Bava) composer in
late 1960s and 1970s Italy and France. Macchi also cut a number of highly
desirable library LPs for the Gemelli, Sermi and other Italian labels in the
1970s.
‘I Futuribili’ is one of the greatest and most sought after of those LPs, a
stunning and powerful hybrid of haunting orchestral arrangements, jarring
avant tones and dense electronic atmospheres. Pick up the LP here.
