Bad news !!
Today I got the folowing message from my favorite soundtrack seller:

We inform you that the release of MORRICONE'S CD CLUB 7115 SVEGLIATI E UCCIDI has been cancelled.
We'll let you know if the label decides to press it in the future.

What does it mean ? Is GDM starting now to have the same problems as RAI TRADE ??
Let's hope not !!

"CANCELED: +++ SVEGLIATI E UCCIDI, GDM CD CLUB +++ CANCELED"

http://www.intermezzomedia.com/

There could be another reason: Universal has just put on-line its own version of the score, a copy of the Dagored edition, as mp3 downloads:

It looks like a simple calendar clash.

Thanks for the info Didier: we can only hope that it's just been "postponed".
I don't like the "canceled" term @ intermezzo at all

Thanks for the good news Bob

You can listen to the movie version of Una Stanza Vuota here:

As you can hear the arrangement is slightly diferent compared to the known version.

I've been listening more closely to the expanded SVEGLIATI E UCCIDI. Following are a few remarks regarding the unreleased material:

- track 11 : a minimalist percussion-only (including bells) suspense, very much in the manner of what EM was writing at the time in his western scores. Perhaps a bit too long?
- track 13 : beside the already mentioned harpsichord segment, I noticed Lisa Gastoni is adding an expressive sigh just prior to the first bars of the tune.
- track 20 : a superb flute variation of the main theme over up-tempo harpsichord scansions. Alas way too short!
- track 22 : this rendition of the main theme opens with an interesting suspense mood.
- track 23 : a somewhat repetitive shake, with a nice B-part though. Nothing essential but it certainly provides some variation toward the end of the album.

Many tracks are otherwise simply very close to the previously available material, characterized mostly by minor differences in their arrangement or duration.
But a great album it is for sure!

Welcome back Laurent

Maybe you wasn't aware of it, but track 11 on the new/expanded CD release of SVEGLIATI E UCCIDI was already available on the previous dagored release from 2006. In the film this cue can be heard during the pre-credits:

The GDM release 'forgets' to mention that this is the film version.
