Even if you find the 1969 film “Eat It”, a bit ‘too weak-willed a film of social satire and advertising, the first and last movie of Francesco Casaretti’, you can not miss out on the soundtrack from the two-time Academy Award winner Ennio Morricone, composed during his most prolific and experimental period.

Morricone wrote a score that is, as always, brilliant, conducted by Bruno Nicolai with the choir I Cantori Moderni di Alessandro Alessandroni. The tracks range between danceable (A5, A6, A7 and even a bit “Dies Irae”, B2, a known nursery rhyme almost deformed, interpolated into the main theme), classical motifs, romantic, and with a touch of bossa nova (A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B3, B4), all of which embrace all the psychological and environmental nuances of alienation and paradox that mark the plot of the film.

There is also a sense of disturbing and abstract experimentalism that make this soundtrack unique. Particularly in “Quinta Variazione / Africami” (A6) with the fuzzy Fender by Alessandroni, and “Settima Variazione” with its three dreamy amazing underwater variants (A7, A8 and B6) and ending with “Eat it”, in the same version as the highly collected 45rpm that came out at the time and is, until now, the only existing track on vinyl from this score; a today legendary cult object and sought for the killer heavy drum by Vincenzo Restuccia and distorted psychedelic Fender Stratocaster of Alessandro Alessandroni.

Highly rigid hand-glued Cinedelic cover with a folder insert of 4 facades with photos from the movie.
