Welcome to a new adventure in the world of the Italian coolest 60s sound. If Calibro 35 explores the weirdest side of Italian soundtracks, Massimo Martellotta’s new creature Il Complesso di Tadà focuses on the grooviest and hip-shaking side of Italian mid 60s Italian TV Shows music. Recorded in Milan and mixed by Grammy Award Winner Tommaso Colliva in London, the album goes from the opening single, the cover of the Muppet Theme masterpiece by Piero Umiliani Mah Na Mah Na, to the beat explosion of Il Surf Delle Mattonelle and Ma Che Colpa Abbiamo Noi and to classic italian treasures such as Sapore di Sale and Guarda Che Luna. Thanks to Mr Martellotta’s direction and meticulous care of all details, the sound is super tight and punchy from start to finish, full of percussive rhythms, wild organs and groovy percussions, leading you into a pure and super cool mid60s experience.
Alongside the list of the unforgettable Italian pearls, there’s also place for a bunch of irresistible groovy instrumental tracks such as Veloce, Non Troppo, Allegro and Movimentato all composed by Massimo Martellotta, which mostly reflect his admiration for one of the Italian greatest soundtrack composer of all time Piero Umiliani, as it is also remarked on the album’s liner notes that have been written by Piero Umiliani’s family..
What do they say? Italians Do It Better?
