Funky bass lines, razor-sharp horn riffs and boiling hot drums: criminally good crime funk was not only in the USA on the streets of San Francisco, but also in Italy. The gangster movies there were called “Poliziottescos” and the rousing music from them, meanwhile sampled by Madlib and colleagues and rediscovered by Quentin Tarantino, has long since become a retro cult. This brand new remastered compilation with the best Italian crime music raises the blood pressure, not least thanks to nine previously unreleased tracks.
