Dawn of the Dead (Zombi) - Italian Soundtrack - Part 1

The original soundtrack to the other version of George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead", known by the title "Zombi" (1978).

This European cut was edited under producer Dario Argento's supervision. It concentrated slightly more on the action while Romero's version had a tad wider focus on character development. This version was a bit shorter but also contained footage that Romero did not use.

The entire Italian soundtrack was performed by the progressive rock band, Goblin (Argento's regular choice for film compositions). The atmosphere of some scenes completely changed due to the music.

Romero's version only used a few songs from Goblin's album "Zombi". Those were "L'alba Dei Morti Viventi", "Zombi" and "La Caccia". The rest of the score was taken from different sources.

Goblin members at the time were:
-Claudio Simonetti (keyboards)
-Fabio Pignatelli (bass)
-Massimo Morante (guitar)
-Agostino Marangolo (drums)

Additional musicians:
-Antonio Marangolo (saxophone)
-Tino Fornai (violin)

Tracks, English translation & length:
#1 L'alba Dei Morti Viventi (Dawn of the Dead) (6:04)
#2 Zombi (Zombie) (4:24)

These tracks are immensely popular since they were both included in the American cut. In this version, however, they were used extensively.

I changed the order of some of the tracks to fit more songs into one video.
This is the original album order:
1. L'alba Dei Morti Viventi
2. Zombi
3. Safari
4. Torte In Faccia
5. Ai Margini Della Follia
6. Zaratozom
7. La Caccia
8. Tirassegno
9. Oblio
10. Risveglio
11. L'alba Dei Morti Viventi (alternate version)
12. Ai Margini Della Follia (alternate version)
13. Sexy
14. Ai Margini Della Follia (alternate version 2)
15. Supermarket
16. L'alba Dei Morti Viventi (alternate version 2)
17. The Living Dead's Voices

My order is:
1. L'alba Dei Morti Viventi
2. Zombi
3. Safari
4. Torte In Faccia
5. Ai Margini Della Follia
6. Zaratozom
7. La Caccia
8. Tirassegno
9. Risveglio
10. Sexy
11. Oblio
12. Ai Margini Della Follia (alternate version)
13. Ai Margini Della Follia (alternate version 2)
14. Supermarket
15. L'alba Dei Morti Viventi (alternate version)
16. L'alba Dei Morti Viventi (alternate version 2)
17. The Living Dead's Voices

One of the best films in existence and certainly the biggest zombie spectacle there ever was!

Born in 91. The '78 version is far superior to the newer one.

Not all hope is lost. Haha.

[CraigNdayday27]

@jne4870 Christ, I wish I didn't live in this era. -_-

[KruszO]

Music compliments the rising feeling of dread in the film perfectly... Great score throughout the film.

[slottport]

@TerminatorJesse Yeah, the kind who like "Saw" and all that crap. There have been a lot of great horror movies in the '00's though, like "The Orphan", "House Of The Devil", & "28 Days/Weeks Later".
