The Super Sounds of Mr Ennio Morricone!

[Dr Rock]

I'm not an expert on his entire oovra, but I'm sure between us we can have some fun recommending tracks and soundtracks alike, or exchanging tidbits of information about the talented dead Italian fella.

Like many, I first heard him on them brilliant spaghetti westerns, which, quite frankly, would be putrid crap without his input.

But there's so much more! Once Upon A Time In The West! Once Upon A Time In America! Compilations of his funkier soundtracks stuff are

Morricone Groove The Kaleidoscope Sound of Ennio Morricone & three volumes of Mondo Morricone

I'm collected various soundtracks, like Danger: Diabolik, Giu la Testa, and La Stagione Dei Sensi, this is from the latter

Ok, over to you connoisseurs and collectors of cool and classic composers!

[Kankurette]

Yes! I was thinking of making a Morricone thread but you beat me to it. Here's one of my favourites, although I found it through Kill Bill and not The Mercenary.

[Neomod]

Probably my favourite soundtrack composer and there's so much to explore with his 60's Italian output.

No slacker either with approximately 470 soundtracks to his name.

A few of my favourites:

Malena

Presentimento

Metti una sera a cena

L'Orca

Ninna nanna per adulti

and finally, my ma loved the Cinema Paradiso soundtrack and so this was played at her funeral.

Childhood and Manhood

Stonking bit of Morricone here:

Nice Jazzanova remix of a Morricone cover

[Dirty Boy]

Off the top of my head:

There's really so, so many. The guy was called the maestro for a reason.

[Kankurette]

Here's To You, the Joan Baez collab.

[jobotic]

^ yeah, wonderful

A perfect pop song (almost. I wish the dun dun dun dun dun duns at the end went on longer before it faded out)

Probably about the tenth time I've posted this

[Agent Dunham]

My single favourite piece above all the other great music he made. Would fit easily alongside Charles Mingus' "Let My Children Hear Music".

The Crime & Dissonance compilation was curated by Alan Bishop of Sun City Girls.

[Kankurette]

I was on a Morricone binge last night and it made me cry at some points. Amazing how many musicians he's influenced as well.

[dontpaintyourteeth]

I am loving this thread on the cookd and bombd forum

[Fisher Goes Berserk]

I listen to this when I want to cry

And I listen to this when I want to stop crying

[chutnut]

bloody love this one

[fuzzyste]

This is basically perfect music

This track used to be on the playlist of a fancy retail shop I worked in about 15 years ago, absolutely love it still. There was another Morricone one on there too which was similar but it had male harmonies instead of female...I shazamd it at the time but since lost it, its been my musical white whale for some time now...so any help would be appreciated with this

It's possibly on one of Mondo Morricone volumes. Well worth getting them even if your whale isn't on there. But tell us when you find it.

Can we keep this going? There's so much Morricone and only a small amount of it is cack. The guy had a hit rate that was absurd.

[Kankurette]

Morricone could have made even The Room tolerable with that amount of quality.
