Born into a musical dynasty, Claudio Simonetti’s career was dramatically launched when his young band Goblin were chosen to produce the soundtrack for Italian horror auteur Dario Argento’s latest flick. Profondo Rosso went on to sell three million copies and the band also scored his next soundtrack, the classic Suspiria. After discovering disco, Simonetti made an array of classic records under a variety of names from Easy Going to Capricorn, before returning to movie scoring in the mid-1980s.
