Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Once Upon a Time in the West wouldn't be the first of his Spaghetti Western scores I'd reach for, that would still be The Good The Bad and the Ugly personally. "Ecstasy of Gold" is still one of the most incredible cues from any film score. And I'd definitely add Once Upon a Time in America to the short list. EDIT: I had skipped the first paragraph like you said I could, but then I went back and read it and saw that you are already familiar with Good/Bad/Ugly! Nevermind then! Still, Once Upon a Time in America is a fantastic score if you don't have an aversion to pan flute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,475 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I once wanted to discover Morricone's scores too... but I did find the majority of the material I came across...to be very "dated" in their style...very sixties....very seventies.... And I didn't like it at all. Ok, some JW's scores are "dated" in their style too, but they are in minority I think (Earthquake, Images, Hearbeeps are three examples coming to my mind). So for now, in my Morricone discography, there is only The Mission and the Yo- Yo Ma album... I'm open to suggestions too.... but maybe re-recordings instead of original scores... Note : I really can't stand percussion beat over a classical track...So yes, it limits the possibilities when we are talking about Morricone...

Jesus, you and bollemaneke. I didn't realize people had such specifically closed-minded preferences with music. Maybe I need one too. From now on, I hate all music that uses muted trumpets!

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Listen to Cinema Paradiso. Listen to Reagan's Theme from Exorcist 2. Listen to Fateless. Listen to The Untouchables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Once Upon A Time In The West is his finest achievement, personally. Once Upon A Time In America is also a must listen, as Stu said. If you want more of the same style from The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, certainly check out A Fistful Of Dollars and For A Few Dollars more. Essentially you can't go wrong with any of his work for Leone or Tornatore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Joseph, you perfectly have the right to love dull music. Do I judge you? NO ;-) By the way, you surely love instrumental tracks where a woman sings ahhhhhh ahhhhh ahhhh or laaaaaa laaaa laaaa, from the begining to the end.

Here I can confess the language barrier.. In french, I woud use "Audacieux". Maybe "bold" is better... For me "daring" or "bold", is the same, as it means absolutely nothing to me. Sorry!

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 !The Thing! which was nominated for a golden raspberry award - but hey, Williams and Goldsmith also got a nomination. I would also recommend you to search all Morricone scores Tarantino used in his works, because most of them are outstanding ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
