Details: Product DescriptionMorricone, EnnioAmazon.caThe major Morricone fan is probably going to also want the Rhino two-CD anthologyA Fistful of Film Music, but this is a 31-track, 73-minute sampler (at a budget price!) devoted to the western music that made him famous is a fantastic sampler. Most of the familiar Morricone/Leone title themes are here (several selections from « Fistful of Dollars, » « For a Few Dollars More, » « Once Upon a Time in the West »–although curiously not « The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly »). But perhaps most exciting are the many tracks (and movies) you’ve probably never heard of (« A Gun for Ringo, » « Guns Don’t Argue »). All of it, however, is unmistakably vintage Morricone, with those twanging guitars and melodramatic, sweeping choruses. Hysterical and epic, over-the-top and genuinely moving, nobody’s ever written music quite like this.–Jim Emerson
