Matalo!



Cesare Canevari's psychedelic western - up there in terms of surrealism and agit prop with Giulio Questi's Oro Maldito - is a one of a kind spaghetti western from the tail end of the film cycle. The only western you'll ever see with dueling boomerangs and solarized trip sequences. It's really quite a spectacular film.

The soundtrack is even more impressive. Crippled Dick Hot Wax! released the title theme (in the clip above around a minute and 23 seconds in) on a 7" in the late 90s. It's culled from the tailer (above) and the sound quality is horrible. I've got a clean copy of the track and will post it in the coming days. (The Score Baby Blog has the Crippled release of the song for download. Look at the links.)
