Ennio Morricone - Crime and Dissonance (2005)

Morricone, one of the most popular and respected film composers has a career spanning more than five decades including some of the greatest and most acclaimed films of all-time. Everything from Westerns (his work with Sergio Leone on the Dollars trilogy, Once Upon A Time in the West and Duck, You Sucker; The Great Silence), mob films (The Untouchables, Bugsy), to countless other films (White Dog, The Thing, The Mission, The Exorcist 2, Salo). Although mostly known for his evocative and uplifting string pieces Morricone also draws from a wealth of other influences. Many of the pieces in this two-disc collection come from giallo films (some by legendary director Dario Argento) of the late sixties and early seventies and draw heavily from psychedelic rock sounds of the time, making this the ideal primer on the composer for those into rock and the avant-garde.
