Wow, the first track is perfection, and completely new to me. Thanks.
Brilliant stuff.
maybe these sound best on good speakers, not low volume, cubicle ones. i don't know. i wasn't totally feeling these. maybe i just like the utter epic qualities of his scores, rather than his stand-alone tunes, which i assume these were. after watching "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", i went on a Morricone hunt on LimeWire, and found alot of hot shit. It made my walks across the Village quite vigilant.
Yeah these are definitely on a more downtempo tip than his scores for Leone - probably reflecting the films themselves which as far as I can make out are low key dramas.
Leave these on your mp3 player/walkman though and I would say that they definitely grow on you after a couple of listens.
Come un madrigale is from the extremely obscure 1971 Dario Argento movie "Four Flies On Grey Velvet" and accompanies the sight of Mimsy Farmer's car crashing in super-slow motion, all shattering glass and that sort of stuff. A great track and a great film, if it ever gets a proper DVD release... check out the whole soundtrack - the title cut is Morricone doing prog rock!
