A rare VA Italian library from 1974, Astrofisica (Il Cielo)




In the midst of containment, lockdowns, quarantines, isolations, cancellations and coronascares, let's try to remember the glory of Italian library albums and their blissful beneficence like the touch of a great and tender sainted pope from albums along the lines of Gianni Marchetti, Oscar Rocchi, Marco Persichetti, A.R. Luciani, and of course OST composer Ennio Morricone, the inimitable one.  And let's feel happy for those Italians who were so unhappy with us tourists in the past and now are lucky enough to have all their beautiful cities to themselves: Venice or Milan or anywhere else they despise the millions of tourists who prop up their economies.  Of course we will all be in the same position as them, and the poor people of Wuhan, China, very soon...  Unfortunately the music here is quite abstract and concrete, along the lines of that library that everyone constantly asks me to reupload from years ago, I don't even remember its name.  Note the composers involved in the database, here.
Telescopi, a composition by Bozzalla:





An expensive rarity that really, to my ears, doesn't deserve to be.

And finally everybody remember the following:

Please don't panic.
More importantly, please don't be calm.
At this time the risk for the domestic dog species is considered to be low.
Continue with daily life as before.
Pretend nothing has changed.
We will continue to closely monitor the situation and update things because they are changing dramatically every day.
We have vomited up everything, out of an abundance of caution.
Do not buy, use, sell, or put on any kind of mask whether surgical, N95, or cat-whiskered, unless you are about to die in the next few seconds.
Please, do not hoard toilet paper.  You can use your hands. And it will be of no use to you anyways when you are on a respirator in ICU drowning in infectious fluids filling your gasping, dying lungs, suffocating on a dumb bat virus.

  2. I agree this wasn't all that special, but thanks anyway. I quite enjoyed both Asteroidi and Telescopi from Floriana Bozzalla. So now I located "Trilling E Magia Nella Fantascienza" on youtube - where the first five tunes by S. Lazlo=Floriana. Unfortunately it was mostly generic Library synth-suspense.

    -anyway those recent Michel Gonet and Brian Bennett-shares were packed with great music. Thanks again!

  5. Haunting theme music for a walk in that graveyard near the face on Mars...
    ....strange how things felt so familiar, like I'd been there before....
    Our initial survey indicated vast catacombs honeycombed with tunnels....
    "Open the pod bay doors HAL-----".......nothing. radio silence.
    Damn! Even the AI has deserted us...
    Guess we are on our own.
    Entering unknown territory....
    'Telescopi' - great jam jettison me into that 'Nebulose' over there!
    Great Thanks brother Julian :)
    :) guess I was in just the right midnight-dark spaced-out headspace,
    because I totally tuned into the interstellar voids and alien atmospheres of this rare & lovely dark gem :) :)
    gotta stay strong and ready to ride out the Storm that's growing...
    ...great music to tune out the world when it overloads is invaluable;
    Thanks again bro. Shields up!
