Greatest erotic movie and score ever
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have to say the film did very little for me - by chance I watched the UK DVD last week which is not of the highest quality - and is only slightly interesting. But then I'm not a massive fan of "erotic" movies. I only heard about it because it was shown at my local cinema back in 1972 without a BBFC certificate (it wasn't actually passed until 1982).

I note several websites reporting that the director of Camille 2000, Radley Metzger, has passed away, just two days ago on March 31, 2017, at the age of 88.
Camille 2000 (1970) is an essential soundtrack by Piccioni, lush and loungey, a perfect accompaniment to a gray and rainy afternoon like I am having here today.
Just yesterday I received Blind Faith Records' 2-LP set of the soundtrack of Camille 2000. So far I have listened through once and recorded it to CD-R. It seems like a nice, quiet pressing; my copy had a little bit of static and surface noise on the final track, but overall a great release.
The track listing with approximate times is:
Disc 1 - Side 1:
1. Pearls (3:40)
2. Slow Flute Beat (2:28)
3. Chains of Love (2:16)
4. Charms (3:10)
5. Brasil 2000 (2:06)
6. Funky Lovers (1:55)
7. Tears In Brasil (3:28)
Disc 1 - Side 2:
1. Camille 2000 - Intro (4:17)
2. Funky Lovers (2:07)
3. Ballade (2:13)
4. Tears In Brasil (2:28)
5. Tears In Rome (1:53)
6. Magic (1:51)
Disc 2 - Side 1:
1. Camille 2000 Party Shake (3:23)
2. Camille 2000 Party Beat (1:29)
3. Pearls - Alternate (2:01)
4. Pearls - Italian Style Theme (1:28)
5. Pearls - Up Tempo Theme (0:23)
6. Chains Of Love - Alternate (1:48)
7. Tears In Brasil - Alternate (2:48)
Disc 2 - Side 2:
1. Echoes (4:07)
2. Easy Lovers (3:49)
3. Chains Of Love - Alternate (2:00)
4. Camille 2000 - Outro (0:37)
5. Brasil 2000 - Alternate (1:26)
6. Charms - Alternate (3:16)
The overall time is about 62 minutes. The 1998 release of this on the Easy Tempo label is also right around 62 minutes, though the Blind Faith release does have some unique bonus tracks. I have not done a meticulous comparison, but the track "Pearls - Italian Style Theme" appears to be unique to the Blind Faith version, and even though the track is less than 2 minutes long, for me is worth the purchase price of the album.
The Easy Tempo CD is long out of print, but I will mention that the Cult Epics Blu-Ray release Radley Metzger's Erotica Psychedelica comes with a bonus CD that includes the entirety of the Easy Tempo release, along with 2 songs from Score and 5 tracks by Stelvio Cipriani from The Lickerish Quartet. (Camille 2000, Score, and The Lickerish Quartet are the 3 films on Blu-Ray.)

Thanks Mr. A&C!
I am compulsive enough to buy just about every iteration of many soundtracks -- particularly my all-time favorites, like this one -- but was a little frustrated that I couldn't find more info about this release on line to see if it offered anything new. Turns out it does! The track timings can be a good clue, which is why I've included them here.

Did A&C acquire some Piccioni soundtracks from purplemonkey?
Which titles did you get, A&C? (if you don't mind my asking ... )

Hello Zardoz! No, not Piccioni, it was a couple of Barry Gray titles. Though Piccioni does get my highest recommendation, with Camille pretty much at the top of that list!
