One evening Dr. William Benson gets into his car after receiving a strange phone call telling him to go immediately to a mysterious country house. During the journey he is frightened by the sudden appearance of a half-naked woman who crosses in front of him and the car ends up on the edge of the cliff alongside the road. Benson regains consciousness after being awakened by the sound of an accident similar to his involving Susan, a girl who was returning home. Unable to help her, William seeks help at a villa, where he will be transported to a terrifying dimension. Dr. Benson meets a man and woman named Peter and Evelin who are identical to him and Susan. The two individuals obey the orders of the owner of the villa who is using them to rebel against Satan’s dominion. Through an old book of magic formulas, William could find a solution to this macabre story.
The music:
Finally, fifty years after the release of the film in Italian cinemas, Alberto Baldan Bembo’s music score for “Nuda per Satana” is released for the very first time on vinyl and taken from the mono master tapes of the original session kept in the archives of Edizioni Musicali S.A.A.R. Fifteen tracks were selected with a total duration of approximately 37:35. Maestro Baldan Bembo created an electronic soundtrack introduced by the opening credits theme (A1) with the intervention of diabolical female voices. The atmosphere of terror is represented by suspended synthesized sounds (A2,A3), sometimes more aggressive with piano and percussion (A4,A8,B3) and by macabre themes with female voices (A6,B6). This OST also contains more tonal moments, with a danceable flavor (A5,A7,B1,B2,B5) that break the tension of the story. A record that wants to pay homage to the musical art of Alberto Baldan Bembo and genre Cinema with many fans around the world.
