Ennio Morricone: the man, the myth, the legend.
Regular readers are going to become familiar with him,
if they are not already.
Most of you should at least be familiar with his work on
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
and
The Mission.
He is so prolific
(there is no exact count of the several hundred scores he has written)
that there are more compilations of his work than most composers
have original albums.
The
MondoMorricone series
(MondoMorricone, More MondoMorricone, Molto MondoMorricone)
is one of the more unique collections.
It gathers some of
Il Maestro's groovier pieces from movies of the
late sixties and early seventies.
Not much you'd want to dance to at an Austin Powers-themed party
(see if you can dance to
Alla Luce Del Giorno)
but you could play all three albums in your swingin' bachelor pad
while you entertain that far out chick of yours
(dig on
Giocoso, Gioioso, baby).
A fine addition to the collection of any Enniophile
or someone who appreciates the groovier things in life.
