CD REVIEW - ERCOLE ALLA CONQUISTA DI ATLANTIDE + News from Screen Archives Entertainment
Ercole Alla Conquista di Atlantide
Music by Gino Marinuzzi Jr
Digitmovies CDDM090 (Italy)
23 Tracks 43:37 mins
Here we have the original mono score tracks from a 1961 instalment in the Hercules series, in which our hero (played in this case by Reg Park), seeks to preserve the life of an Atlantean princess and battles cloned blonde warriors in the process.
The score is provided by a new name to me, Gino Marinuzzi Jr, who apparently wrote quite a few scores in the '60s, one of which, Terrore nello Spazio, is also available on the Digitmovies label. For Hercules and the Captive Women, to give it it's English title, the composer provided a strong, adventurous main theme, sometimes enhanced by female choir, first heard in the title track, surrounded by some percussive, ethnic-styled music and with one turbulent passage suggesting stormy seas. The theme crops up in variations throughout, including something of a balletic version in "Balletto e il Piano di Antinea," culminating in its final, short, strong statement in the "Finale." Other tracks of note include the religios female choral "Processione;" the timpani-driven feats of strength of "Ercole Trattiene la Nave;" and the flirtatious romanticism of "Un Tenero Amore."
Five bonus tracks are included at the end of the score proper, including choirless versions of some tracks, and a stereo mix of the aforementioned "Ercole Trattiene la Nave."
As always, the disc is accompanied by a colourful booklet, featuring stills and artwork from the film, plus Claudio Fuiano's informative notes.
