Ennio Morricone's score for A Lizard with a Woman's Skin is a masterwork from Italian director Lucio Fulci's golden period of psychological horror-thrillers. Recorded in the early 1970s, Morricone crafts an unsettling, sophisticated soundscape that blends free jazz improvisation with classical arrangement—pizzicato strings, muted horns, and modernist flourishes create tension without resorting to shock tactics. The album spans from moody introspection to bursts of twisted energy, with occasional easy-listening passages that disarm before plunging back into unease. What makes this essential is how Morricone proves scoring isn't just accompaniment; it's a narrative voice of its own. This reissue restores a crucial chapter in both his catalog and Italian cinema's golden age of invention.
