Roberto Donati Bio-
Maestro Roberto Donati was born and raised in Italy in the glorious sixties. As a guitarist/singer he ended up forming a wide variety of bands playing a broad spectrum of musical genres like Rock, Pop, R&B and Country & Western. Many of his songs were recorded as singles on the Belldisc label in the late sixties and seventies.

With all this experience under his belt Mr. Donati then devoted himself to the composition of soundtracks. These were all recorded under the pseudonym 'Budy' and were often collaborations with Maria Fiamma Maglione (who sadly passed away from cancer in 2003) thus the name 'Budy Maglione' was born.

Working with different directors (including legendary director Umberto Lenzi) he has written music for films in various genres including Italian comedy, erotic, western & horror. Highlights include APACHE WOMAN & ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON (1976), EMANUELLE e LOLITA (1978), EATEN ALIVE (1980), CANNIBAL FEROX (1981) and DAUGHTER OF THE JUNGLE (1982).

These compositions made him an established player in the Italian soundtrack scene, for which he received international praise, just like his contemporaries FABIO FRIZZI, RIZ ORTOLANI, and others.

The most fame he received was probably for his soundtrack to Umberto Lenzi's exploitation shocker CANNIBAL FEROX (better known in the States as MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY) a notorious video nasty, labeled as ''The Most Violent movie ever made'', that was banned or severely cut in 31 countries.

Cannibal Ferox is often described as one of horror filmdom's golden grails of soundtrack albums and holds its place between other contemporary classics like Cannibal Holocaust, The Beyond, Zombi 2, and others. Praised by composers and directors all over the world, Eli Roth described it as ''powerful tribal, pounding stuff'' and served as an inspiration when editing his new movie The Green Inferno (which is an homage to the Cannibal film genre).

Like many of the Italian cannibal films, the soundtrack is just as powerful and effective as the disturbing butchery. The use of funk guitar, bass, rock piano and synthesizer makes for a fun yet still powerful sound. It's 70s recklessness with an 80s sensibility, perfect for a film that rides the line between two decades. Surprisingly funky and light-hearted, then again: there are cues which are genuinely mean and foreboding, serving as an essential piece that makes the film a pulse-pounding inferno of death.
