Back in the mid-aughts, I had a music blog for a year. Finding new (i.e. "fresh") music that I liked turned out to be a lot of work, so I stopped. Every so often I get the itch to write about music. But where? So I created this as a place to write as well as post my old blog entries.

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.
