Calibro 35 by Calibro 35, released on Cinedelic Records in 2008.
A lesser tragedy of COVID was that my partner and I did not get to see the great Italian cinematic funk band Calibro 35 at the nearby venue The Deaf Institute as planned.

Ended the week and welcomed the weekend with Prisma Sonoro by Alessandro Alessandroni, released on SR Records in 1972.
Undoubtedly one of the central figures of 1960s/70s Italian film music, Alessandro Alessandroni. Renowned for his pioneering reverb guitar sound, sitar exploration, and a phenomenal whistling technique... One of the most desired sessions (and reported to be his own favourite recording) is Prisma Sonoro, a mythical library LP issued..for the highly collectable Sermi label. This music is exquisitely crafted Italian mood music; propulsive Bossa, enchanting Harpsichord melodies, scowling Giallo-style guitars, mournful string arrangements, and the sublimely plaintive voice of Edda Dell’Orso. Long regarded as the backbone of Italian film music, here is Maestro Alessandroni in all his own lush psychedelic glory.

Fischio In Armonia by Alessandro Alessandroni, released on SR Records in 1970.
Alessandro Alessandroni (18 March 1925 – 26 March 2017) was an Italian musician and composer. He played multiple instruments, including the guitar, mandolin, mandolincello, sitar, accordion and piano, composed more than 40 film scores and countless library music tracks, and was renowned for his whistling technique.
Alessandroni collaborated with his childhood friend Ennio Morricone on a number of soundtracks for Spaghetti Westerns...Alessandroni's twangy guitar riff is central to the main theme for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Alessandroni can be heard as the whistler on the soundtracks for Sergio Leone's films... - Wikipedia
Fischio in armonia transalates to “Whistle In Harmony” in English.

Open Air Parade by Alessandro Alessandroni, released on SR Records in 1972.
This holy grail was originally released in 1972 on the legendary Sermi Records label (often referred to as SR Records). It features ten tracks composed by Ennio Morricone’s whistler, Alessandro Alessandroni revealing his great talent and unrivaled sense of melody, and two
by the brilliant Italian jazz bassist Giovanni Tommaso, also founder and member of the legendary prog-jazz-rock ensemble Perigeo.
Open Air Parade is a masterpiece and rightfully sits among the top five in its genre. It has a beautiful cohesiveness throughout and can only be described as sincere. The music ranges from superb psychedelic lounge funk, compelling groovy jazz beat tunes, and far-ranging mood music with lush arrangements.

Bioritmi by Egisto Macchi, released on Gemelli in 1971
Genius meld of avant orchestrations, brooding modular composition and electronically processed percussion. Extended and fastidiously sculpted pieces that range from spacious abstractions to tantalisingly ominous melodic interludes and intense propulsive arrangements.Mimicking the pulmonary and cardiovascular actions of the human body, the microscopic landscape of bacteria and the urban heartbeat of bustling cities and electronics, Macchi intriguingly charts rhythm, pulse and biosphere. Moondog in the bloodstream, Phil Glass meets ‘Fantastic Voyage’.
