perhaps the great film composer to ever live. essential purchase (at a paltry $10 list price, so you can get it cheap anywhere): the legendary italian westerns, which is 75 minutes of his best 1960s "spaghetti western" scores. i'm going to start mixing some of these tracks with autechre and such; you'd be surprised how out-there some of the mainstream film scores in the 1960s were (apparently!). anyway, for those who don't feel like throwing $10 down blindly, download: Guns Don't Argue The Watchers Are Being Watched The Vice of Killing The Musical Pocket Watch The Showdown For a Few Dollars More |

I have the Morricone remix album "Morricone Rmx." I was quite surprised with some of the mixes, they were pretty damn good. |
||||||||

|
i've only heard a couple songs, i liked them but they're completely different from the originals (which you probably figured). check out the compilation (or download some of those mp3's), they're really impressive. he probably is the greatest film composer to date. |
||||||||
|

|
|
yeah, i think my favourite from that one is the remix by terranova |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
he was my fave filmscore composer too, (used to sample some of his sounds and play with it for some homegrown hiphop too) until I found out about angelo badalamenti, who's now my fave. |
||||||||

angelo's great too.. there are so many amazing composers that have spent their lives doing film work instead of albums, and right now ennio is at the top of my list. i mean in 2 minutes he puts more intricate melody and emotion than a lot of the artists we talk about on this board put into an entire album. |
||||||||

Brilliant composer. I have the 2 disc Film Music 1966-1987 collection. Morricone's knack for capturing mood and atmosphere blows me away. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how much of the music from his westerns is on that collection? if not much then you should pick up the cd i mentioned. it's cool how ennio has so many different styles (a lot of people don't realize he's scored many more films than just westerns). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
its decent music, bit after a while it gets little boring :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you listened to any of it besides that trance remix album (just kidding)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, yeah i have 2 of his albums i think to tell you the truth that remix album is my ennio's favourite one :) im a pretty big fan of film music and at the moment my fav soundtrack would be hable con ellanow that is not boring music ;) |
||||||||

ever hear "the ecstasy of gold" its a pretty popular and kick ass sounding one by ennio marricone .. its also the song metallica used to play when they first came out on stage during the last tour i was at |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a great one. jay-z sampled that piece for the title-track to his new album the blueprint 2 |
||||||||

Seems to be all over the place... some eurotrash sentimental stuff, some stylized caper stuff, western, etc etc etc. It was used and the booklet was damaged so it's something of a head scratcher figuring out what's from what film. He has a HUUUGE body of work. I haven't finished wading through this batch yet. slsk a couple off me if you want. I recommend The Sicilian Clan and Chi Mai. You may not have heard those - they're not particularly western sounding so I doubt they're on your set. |

they're not there are some scores i've been meaning to download but unfortunately my school puts p2p downloads at 0.0-0.4k/sec (not quite "blocked" but it may as well be). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I have about 4 lp's of ennio's work. Good ol' vinyl times hehe :P |

I just got the Gothic Dramas album from eMusic - wonderful stuff - from spinechilling string textures to gothic lullabies to weird idiosyncratic darkly humorous bits. Pure fucking genius. Oh to see some of the movies this music is from - I can just imagine them, all weird and 70s and low budget, with a filter on the camera to simulate night, all bad editing and acting, all overreaching artsiness and senseless nightmarish plots... |

|
the soundtrack from 'la piovra' is just wonderful.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think he's great, but my vote for greatest film composer would go to bernard herrmann |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hold on, actually i just remembered morricone did the soundtrack to "the mission" which is one of my all time favs... yeah he's amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I'm looking to get The Mission soundtrack too. I have a couple of tracks from it on the compilation - Gabriel's Oboe is beautiful. I want the rest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I don't know La Piovra at all - a quick search on imdb reveals it to be a TV series that AFAIK was never played in Canada. :-( trying to find something on slsk... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, according to IMDB he did a score for What Dreams May Come - by all accounts the film is a steaming pile of doo - and it says "score withdrawn" - I guess that means he saw some previews and said "I no a-want-a my name on this piece-a-shit". Wonder what happened to the score? |
