The 927th Soundtrack of the Week is Stelvio Cipriani's music for Duri a morire (Tough To Kill).

The most recurring theme, for both the title and a number of "Azione Commando" cues, is a disco funk piece driven by electric bass guitar.

Some somber "classical" type cues are here, too, such as "Vabo Nel Fosso" for string ensemble and the solo piano "Momento Classico".

Elsewhere there are strange and athmospheric synth-heavy tracks ("Incubo"), child-like tunes ("Attimi Di Tenerezza"), curious hybrids such as the military, mariachi, Afro-Cuban "Marcetta Militare", dissonant dramatic unxerscore ("Attesa Tensiva") and another sort of disco funk number ("Dance Mood").

It's a good one!
