giovanni tommaso: vivere a tokio citta del paradiso

Original soundtrack composed by Perigeo bassist Giovanni Tommaso for the documentary Vivere a Tokio: Citta' del Paradiso. Tommaso was very active and prolific in writing library music during the '70s. This extraordinary score was composed to be the soundtrack for a documentary focused on Tokyo and its inhabitants; Tommaso added some typical elements of melodic/harmonic Japanese music and melded them with a kind of urban music along the lines of a jazz-rock style that he would later bring to Perigeo, along with outstanding Eastern-style prog rock tunes. Silvano Chimenti, Antonello Vannucchi, and Gegè Munari are the uncredited artists who played in this session. Originally released in 1972 on RCA Original Cast (SP 8039). This first-ever reissue features remastered sound and is pressed on high-quality 180-gram vinyl.
