[Nicolai P. Zwar]

LE PROFESSIONAL is probably the most famous of the Belmondo/Morricone collaborations.
LE MARGINAL was the next Belmondo film Morricone scored, and the music is a darker, edgier take within the same vocabulary of the former film.
I’ve always even preferred LE MARGINAL, it’s a more varied album, and the theme is just as great as Le Vent, Le Cri (or Chi Mai).
Yet the theme from LE MARGINAL is much rarer found on compilations, and when it is, it’s often just an abbreviated version.

The first 10 tracks of this Music Box release are the original soundtrack LP tracks, then there’s 15 tracks of additional music. Tonight, I put up my LP on display and listen to those LP tracks (with a good Bourbon, cheers).
