Alessadro Alessandroni - Trinity Goes East

The shadow of Ennio Morricone looms large over this CD but as anyone acquanted with a large chunk of my music collection knows, that really isn't a bad thing to me. Alessadro Alessandroni is something of a legend in Italian cinema, though he's mostly unknown in the US. Well, his name is unknown but you've heard his whistling and guitar playing in soundtracks such as A Fistful of Dollars. Trinity Goes East is a B-movie cross between a spaghetti western and a martial arts movie and Alessandroni has given it a delightful soundtrack. Listening to this album, sometimes you think you're listening to Once Upon a Time in the West but, as the saying goes: It's not a ripoff. It's an homage! Check out Trinity on the March and the Main Title.
