jazzy_daveEnnio Morricone "Mondo Morricone" (Colosseum)
This is an excellent compilation of some of the less known scores by him,and is one of the best CDs ever issued. The tracks on this compilation are culled from several different soundtrack albums from the late 60s and early 70s. The mood varies from heavenly wordless vocals washed with warm strings and atmospheric electric harpsichord, through to light bossa nova and upbeat organ beat music. Somehow, Morricone also made time for the most gratuitously groovy garage hits of the decade, mashing chromatic scales off of wah-wahing keyboards amidst fleets of neon drumrolls.
There is a second volume which is equally good and which I am after getting - "More Mondo Morricone". You'll probably never buy a better CD than either, so try and track them down (I think they are getting harder and harder to find). Luckily I found a copy going for eight quid at MVE yesterday.
