Still can't believe these threads only get a few answers... Perhaps because the Italian stuff is diluted hundreds of threads about recent Hollywood movies?

I think it's because most of us including myself usually have never seen any of the movies, and even if we are into Italian composers (as I am) it is much more hassle to get an idea of the score (compared to the easy samples access provided by labels outside Italy) – because of the legal situation in Italy that virtually prohibits (read: prohibitive costs) Italian labels from providing samples. No complaint about Beat Records or the other Italian labels, they just operate under tougher conditions in some crucial respects.

Thankfully, SAE provides sound samples for Beat's (and other Italian labels') releases shortly after the release date:
No samples at SAE yet for these releases, but I'm spinning LE ALTRE right now, and it sounds fantastic in true STEREO sound. Dynamite score, full of groovy organ riffs, jazzy electric guitar solos and funky breakbeats, not to mention those sessy wordless female vocals that can lull one into a liquid daydream...
