Ennio Morricone is well-known to moviegoers. His soundtracks for The Mission, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in America, Cinema Paradiso, and others are invariably warmly melodic and superbly suited to the films they grace. They not only add atmosphere; they help tell the story. For this CD Morricone has created new orchestrations for many of his scores, adding a solo cello part for the indefatigable Yo-Yo Ma, whose musical curiosity seems to be endless. Outside the films, these pieces tend to be lovely melodies, mostly pretty sentimental stuff, and, in the best way, gorgeous aural wallpaper. The most moving are the two selections from The Mission, but fans of Morricone's music will find plenty to enjoy here. Ma's playing, as always, is exquisite---warm, deeply felt (given the circumstances), and entirely idiomatic within the context. Perhaps not quite for the classical music lover, but an affectionate reworking of music by an important film composer. --Robert Levine

Is it bad to say I like this better than the original soundtrack?.......2007-06-02

I never thought Yo-Yo Ma would do Gabriel's Oboe (Track 1) from THE MISSION justice, but I was wrong. There's a pureness to this version that makes it easier casual listening than the version(s) on the soundtrack CD itself. So no matter how much I love the theatrical "largeness" of the Original Soundtrack (not to mention the full choir), this is the version I grab for the CD player/iPod/whatever.

My two other recommendations are Main Theme from ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (Track 11) and Ecstasy of Gold from THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY (Track 12). I suggest playing these consecutively as a single medley. Track 11 *WILL* bring tears to the manliest among us --particularly if you remember in the movie where Sergio Leone pulls the camera up to reveal the town rising.

I get the feeling "hardcore" classical fans would dismiss movie scores as commercial work. I truly believe Ennio Morricone transcends that. Even moreso than, say, John Williams, and on a different plane than a Danny Elfman. And I can't say more about the emotion Yo-Yo Ma brings to the table than what's already been discussed.

Absolutely Exquisite.......2007-05-15

The combination of Morricone and Ma is pure perfection. This CD fills my heart with so much joy that I could just cry. I listen to it almost daily and have given it away as a gift to my loved ones. I am captivated by their incredible talents, and I know you will be too.

Yo Yo Ma and the Maestro Marvelous!!!.......2007-05-13

Having recently succumbed to Yo Yo Ma after a longtime love of Ennio Marricone I was excited to get this CD from Amazon. It is superb! All of the songs had to be recrafted by Morricone to suit Yo Yo Ma but it is a great listen as you sonically travel down memory lane through some of Maestro Moricone's musical marvels. "Gabriel's Oboe" from "The Mission" now becomes "Gabriel's Cello." I laugh as Yo Yo Ma bows his brains out on the "Ecstacy of Gold' from "The Good,The Bad, and The Ugly." I recommend this to all Yo Yo Ma and Morricone fans...a great listen. Soothing after a hard day!

Better Every Time.......2007-05-09

This CD gets better with every listening. It was a great purchase.

Fabulous CD.......2007-05-07

I love Morricone and this CD has some of the best versions of my favorite pieces. I have ordered several as gifts for friends.

The latest Jerry Bruckheimer production focuses on five twenty-something women working their way through life at a fashionable bar in New York City. Four new LeAnn Rimes tracks highlight this collection. Though all from the pen of veteran songwriter Diane Warren, the tracks vary in style from diva pop ("Fight the Moonlight") to sentimental musings ("Please Remember"). It's only a matter of time before Rimes leaves country music completely behind for the sleek modern world of mainstream pop. The remaining songs are a hodgepodge of different eras. EMF's "Unbelievable" and Snap's "The Power" hark back to the early 1990s, while Don Henley and INXS deliver the dancebeat kick of the '80s. The firing fiddle of the Charlie Daniels Band's 1979 hit "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" seems out of context here. But then, this bar must have one odd jukebox to begin with. --Rob O'Connor

The music is very good.
It has some of the emblematic themes of this period, witch is useful for those who are not updated with the world of music and only acquire some knowledge from time to time... like myself!

Amazon.com

The concluding chapter of director Sergio Leone's epochal Man With No Name trilogy ushered film scorer Ennio Morricone into the pop mainstream courtesy of a hit cover of its main title by American Hugo Montenegro. More importantly, it both showcased the composer's spectacularly inventive range and set him up for even greater triumphs to come with Leone and others. But aficionados of il Maestro Morricone's G,B&U soundtrack knew its original editions contained but the main thematic/musical elements of the spaghetti western epic -- until now. The addition of ten previously unissued cues on this newly remastered edition render the landmark score in its full glory, nearly doubling its running time in the bargain. While some of these new elements are but spare, haunting reworkings of familiar motifs (including Allessandro Allessandroni's trademark guitar riffs and the chilling vocal shrieks the composer used to evoke the howling of coyotes) that help expand its emotional dynamic, others like "Sentenza," "La Missione San Antonio" (a haunting instrumental version of "A Soldier's Story" that effectively presages his elegiac Once Upon A Time in The West and "Il Bandito Monco" significantly add to its expansive scope, firmly restating its claim as Morricone's first true classic. -- Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

Even better without the imagery.......2007-05-12

One of the problems with listening to soundtracks, especially from movies that you are pretty familar with, is that music seems irrevocably tied with the visual imagery of the film. And while this is also true in this case-- the haunting, and by now culturally cliche motif at the heart of the film-- taking the visual away from the music lets you appreciate the music on its own. The "dessert" segment, which in the movie is merely backround, has a life and shape of it's own. With the exception of the oveture and final peice (the most familar to a movie goer) the rest of the music, taken out of the context of the film, has a vibrant, spirited life of its own.

You can listen to this for its own sake--and should.

Marvelous expaned soundtrack........2007-03-24

Title says it all! I have the original, shorter, release on vinyl and was looking to get it on CD. This expanded version is great. Would recommend it for anyone who is a fan of G.B.U.

The Good The Bad & The Ugly.......2007-02-12

I wanted the soundtrack from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly for a picture video I am doing for my husband's 60th birthday. We have the soundtrack on an album. He loves the movie and the music. I thought I would have trouble getting it on a CD but you proved me wrong. My first try and I found the CD. He does alot of hunting so I am going to use the music for those pictures. Thanks for making it so easy for someone with little experience on the internet to find what I wanted.

Go With The Import........2007-02-08

Get the import "Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo", by GDM. The sound quality is ten fold better. The expanded version does not do Morricone's talent any justice. And it still has the abridged version of "The Trio".

A bit off topic, I found the same problem with Ikura Ifukube. Again a brilliant composer (known for Godzilla), again short changed by American released CD's. Always go for the import it seems.

A Classic.......2007-01-09

Just like "Two Mules for Sister Sara" and "For A Few Dollars More", a must have, can't go wrong soundtrack. Love It!

Music from'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly' & 'A Fistful Of Dollars' &'For A Few Dollars More'.......2007-06-13

I grew up with the Spaggetti Westerns and these were my favorite, so when I had a chance to purchase on CD what I had on vinyl I grabbed the chance. The music gives on the sense of power, suspense, and feeling macho of being there and standing down an oppenent.

Has No Pizzaz.......2007-04-12

This is pleasant enough listening, but after hearing the original performances, this is a watered-down version that has none of the haunting, sharp and unique sound that the originals had. I remember this album cover very well when it was first released as an LP record and a lot of copies must have sold. I am not sure why. Just buy the original soundtracks instead of this poor substitute.

NOT the original motion picture soundtrack ........2007-02-22

This is not the original motion picture soundtrack . I felt disappointed , and a little bet insulted when I first listened to this album . the wild cries in the good , the bad and the ugly theme got replaced with flutes , guitars and drums - not the marching band drums but the beach boys drums - are included in all the tracks , and the macho chants muffled .

This is , shall we say the danceable version , the tribute version , the lounge music version , the politically correct version , an elevator music version and to sum it all up , not the original motion picture soundtrack.

It still manages to give the illusion of listening to the original, but that's it .

Should've paid more attention to other customer reviews , not just the ones on the top.I wouldn't have bought it if I new it was a tribute album .

Pick up the originals if you want to relive those wild and fresh scenes from the trilogy.

No Fistful of Ennio.......2007-01-31

Ennio Morricone wrote great soundtrack music, that's for certain. But no retrospective of his work is complete without the inclusion of more than one lone example from the three mid-60's "spaghetti westerns" he scored for Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood. Anyone familiar with the UNITED ARTISTS label LPs of "Fistful Of Dollars," "For A Few Dollars More" and "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" might agree with this.

As for what's here-- most of ENNIO MORRICONE * FILM MUSIC Volume 1 is forgettable incidental stuff. Except for "The Battle Of Algiers (Theme)," the opening and closing tracks are the best. They bookend what turns out to be a disappointing collection, lacking in both liner notes and the brilliance Morricone demonstrated over a 30 year span.

I would call some of these pieces "newage"..........2006-08-02

Moscow Farewell is definitely my pick of the lot. Sacco And Vanzetti was a pleasant surprise once I listened to it a couple of times. It is lively and could be played on a wedding dance floor for the whole family. This is great album to listen to while in bed!

Simply a 'Must Purchase' for those with a passing interest in Morricone's work.......2005-09-13

Arguably one of the greatest (if not the greatest) Film composer of the 20th Century. Not only has he scored some of the most influential and instantly recognisable pieces of film music during his roughly 50 years of composing atmospheric film scores. Whether he's providing the spooky dramatics for a spaghetti Western" or constructing the ingenious use of classical arrangements of brooding cinematic pieces, he has (in most cases) consistently delivered contemporary music that has provided the atmospheric foil for the picture in question. And with a collection of musical influences that were as far ranging as: classical, jazz, pop, rock, electronic, avant-garde, and Italian music, he is able to deliver a variety of film scores that are as diverse as they are beautifully composed.

This compilation is collection of some of the seminal, gritty, theatrical, and dramatic film music, that would go on to define his career, via reflective orchestration and memorable motifs, ingenious use of diverse arrangements and instrumentation. There is a majority of his highlights on this disc, with the magnificently brooding "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" opening the disk. what follows is a truly sublime collection of music that is in parts truly beautiful and utterly atmospheric, so tracks such as "Once Upon A Time In The West", benefit from the haunting melodies and stirring volins, that are possibly more in tone with orchestrated music than contemporary music. Or the quiet piano introspection and melancholic arrangements that make up "Moscow Farewell", are simply deserving of being placed amongst the finest soundtrack compositions ever. "Dedicace", contains some of the most litting melodies in recent memory, impossibly sad and affecting, it is a haunting bittersweet composition that is both organic & reflective, over which the volins provide the musical backdrop. And that's without the mention of "For Love One Can Die", the autumnal orchestrated track, that pulls from Italian sweeping gangster original film scores, and makes a hushed and dissonant recording, that feels like a sublime throwback to the mafia-related shenanigans of 60's chicago via the use of restrained piano, that really is quite lovely and adds substantial weight to the composition.

If you are looking for a Ennio Morricone compilation....short of buying a boxset, you'd be hard pressed in beating this for value for money. It's a fantastic summary of his work and covers a fair amount of material. And is the perfect introduction to his work, (especially if you just want to buy one compilation of his work). This is highly recommended to fans both old and new, and is boosted by the compilers making a great job of the selection. So if you don't want to have to splash out on an expensive disk, to hear his influential work...this really is the first place you should start.

HAVING HEARD EXERPTS OF THE MUSIC BEFORE, IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I
WANTED.

A collection of Morricone's most popular and entertaining.......2005-07-31

Volume I of III, of this 'best of' Morricone trilogy, is the best of the three. This volume consists of music that can be listened to alone and socially, with some of the most catchy and minimalist rhythms you'll ever hear. You'll listen to this album and wonder what movie you've heard that song from before(Morricone's canon being primarily for film scores). If you're hear because you're trying to get the song from a movie, and you've never really heard of Morricone before, then you've luckily stumbled upon some of the best music I've ever heard. Or, if you're a Morricone fan and you'er looking for a good compilation, since Morricone has done too many film scores to even possibly own them all, then this is good to have. I wouldn't really reccommend Volume II and III unless you're looking or a very comprehensive collection of Morricone, since Volume I seems to me to carry his most absolute best. Definetely buy this album, it's very good.

Not My Style.......2007-05-11

This CD has a lot of good songs on it, but it just too bland for our taste. We prefer Western music to sound as though genuine cowboys are singing it - not a fancy chorus!

Rockin' Western Collection.......2006-08-28

For anyone who likes movie/tv music from westerns should purchase this CD. What a wonderful collection of both film and tv with great renditions of each piece. I'm about to purchase Vol. 1 to complete my collection.

Hard to Find Great Western Themes .......2006-03-16

This CD has a number of great western themes that are not in some of the standard lists. For example it includes "The Hallejuah Trail", "Blazing Saddles", and "Giant". This CD also has what I consider the true theme of "The Comancheros". I have been disappointed with some other CDs I have purchased listing "The Comancheros" which had a song rather than this theme. Many of the tracks on this two disk CD go beyond the main theme music and are actually suites. The "Big Country" and "How the West Was Won" are just a couple of examples. It may be a little more expense than some CDs, but not bad for a two disk set. I am really happy with my purchase.

Western Music.......2005-07-29

I enjoy this CD. It has many familiar melodies. Good background for reading, nice to listen while driving. It is also the only CD I've ever found that has the great theme from the movie "Giant."

A great follow-up.......2003-08-29

This is the second collection by SilvaScreen, who are also responsible for "The Wild West: The Essential Western Film Music Collection" (see my review). And it's just as good as the first. There are themes in here that everyone will recognize ("Bonanza," "A Fistful of Dollars"), themes that may not be so familiar ("Duel in the Sun," "The Hanging Tree," the lively "Blazing Saddles"), and even themes you may not associate with Westerns at all ("The Friendly Persuasion"). And no duplication either: when this disc includes a piece from one of the same sources covered in its predecessor, it's a different piece. One great treat: the full lyrics to "Gunfight at OK Corral," which I've never heard outside the soundtrack of the movie itself. The arrangement from "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid" includes not only the familiar song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" but an overview of the music--seguing almost seamlessly into Bernstein's magnificent "The Comancheros," a rare find indeed. An expensive item, but if you love Western film music, well worth it.

More Music from Coyote Ugly.......2007-05-22

I loved the music while watching the movie and love it even better while listening while driving.

Coyote Ugly More Music.......2007-05-12

This CD actually gave me the songs I was looking for. I love it.

More music plus useless crappy remixes!..........2007-04-17

The first one wasn't that good (exept for the leanne rimes tracks and a couple others) but this one's just a shame considering the huge amount of great music featuring on the movie! and the most annoying thing are the remixes (can you say useless?) and the number of tracks (9,without the remixes!).Such a waste of money for the editors and the buyers.How come there's no trace of sugar ray's fly,kid rock's cowboy,tara mclean's it's me or third eye blind's never let you go?! huhhhhhhhh?!.Sometimes soundtracks deserved a more music from CD and they never do it,but when it's useless and without consistence they all make one!

More good music.......2006-11-25

Almost as good as the first ...........2003-09-06

I feel that this album sort of completes the soundtrack. I was surprised not to see Blondie's "One Way Or Another" on the original soundtrack! Georgia Satellites & the Stray Cats (Rock This Town) round it out nicely.

I'm not a fan, however, of the versions of LeAnn Rimes' songs on this album ("Can't Fight the Moonlight" & "But I Do Love You") -- the originals were MUCH better done in my opinion.

All in all, if you were a fan of the movie and the first soundtrack, I don't think you'll be at all disappointed in this CD. Enjoy! *Ü*

Lightyears beyond Domestica.......2007-04-01

With all the dissonance in their great previous album Domestica it seems easy to label them a more emotionally driven modern Fugazi, but with this album Cursive forms their own identity unlike anyone else.

The album shows off every part of Tim Kasher's personality in a way the break up spat Domestica could not. Here you will find every personality trait including self loathing, sadness, hesitation about selling out, difficulty with relationships, and even a little tenderness; If they had come out in the depression soaked early 90s they would have been huge.

A lot of people refer to this as Emo. Now I have no idea what that means, but I get the impression that Emo applies to poppy screaming bands putting on a front of sadness to seem deep and artistic, whereas I believe every word Tim Kasher says here. The album is much closer to punk I think, contrasting extreme dissonance with beautiful classical strings for a very unique sound. The album closer "Staying Alive" is both at the same time, is a great epic, and is one of the great songs here.

I like almost every song here. I I can't say that for Domestica where the consistent quality of tracks like "Some Red Handed Sleight of Hand", "Art Is Hard", "The Recluse", "Driftwood", and Sierra" is amazing. I'm at the point where if I can find one amazing track on an album I'm satisfied, but to have six here means you need to hear this if you have ever liked Fugazi, Sonic Youth, or the harder edged Nirvana on "In Utero". As far as albums that go knee deep into depression before having an incredibly inspiring final song, there are few competitors with "The Ugly Organ".

You could keep listening to safe music the rest of your life, or you could listen to something that finds the beauty in ugliness, and I think I'll go with the latter.

I hate sad indie rock. I LOVE this........2006-07-28

"The Ugly Organ" was a birthday gift from a good friend, and it only took one listen to make it onto my "IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS, YOU HAVE NO SOUL" album list. Cello, keyboards and stark guitar dissonance add to the album's overall mood of soul-crushing darkness, something far sadder than sorrow. "The Ugly Organ" is probably the darkest CD in my collection, beating out my numerous goth and doom metal albums.

Almost every track on its own is capable of dishing out the chills to listeners, particularly the album's closer, "Staying Alive," which can only be classified as "epic," "haunting," and "effing brilliant." All the greatest elements and quirks found throughout the other songs on the album come together in "Staying Alive" - cello, choir, strings, the whole shebang. Most of the songs are on the short side, but each is a tiny work of storytelling art that deserves to be preserved in a glass case for the rest of all eternity.

all those lovers are liars...i would NEVER lie to you.......2006-07-21

i don't have anything original to say, it's been said already...this album grows on you. concept album or not, who cares. i hold it on the same level as ok computer for me in terms of it's importance to me as art and music. i didn't gather the beauty of this album until being locked in an office working late and listening to it from beginning to end - while i can still enjoy picking out a few songs, this album was meant to be played in it's entirety, one mood bleeding into the next...fabulous work.

Is Omaha the next Seattle?.......2006-06-02

Go figure. As soon as I move from Omaha, it explodes into this whole underground, creative, indie-rock scene. I actually was raised right by the recording studio that great new acts like The Faint, Cursive, Bright Eyes, and The Good Life made their magic. This CD is excellent!! It mixes artistic cello, with melodic guitar, and haunting vocals. Every track on this disc is killer. So buy it, put it in your player, and ENJOY!!

"The sunrise is just over that hill, the worst is over.".......2006-04-30

Cursive's The Ugly Organ is the definition of a grower. The first time I heard it, I thought it was pretty decent, but not the kind of thing I'd usually listen to. I'm not sure why, but over time I started liking the songs more and more, and now the album is one of my favorites.

After the strange intro, the first song is "Some Red Handed Sleight of Hand", a quickly paced rock song which is somewhat atypical for this band. What it does have in common with the other songs is its brief length, despite the final track being over 10 minutes long, the entire album is barely over 40. Although I guess brevity really is the soul of wit, as the short length allows Cursive to cram all of their ideas into a really small space, making each song a pleasure to listen to all the way through. After a few more good songs and a one minute interlude, there's "Driftwood: A Fairy Tale." It's a dark retelling of the Pinocchio story, and has one of the album's better melodies. It is followed by a couple harder songs, the decadent and enjoyable "A Gentleman Caller" and more electronic "Harold Weathervein". The interesting "Sierra", which wraps up the storyline that plays out over the course of this concept album, is followed by the great, extremely long "Staying Alive". The noises at the end go on a little too long, but the song itself is very affecting and still gives me chills.

From the singer's distinctly different voice to the unusual instrumentation, The Ugly Organ is a unique and thoroughly good album that probably anyone can enjoy if they give it a listen or two.

Actually these chaps were very wanted at the time.......2006-07-12

UKJ come into town on their one trick pony. The whole schtick of appealing to normal middle class kids desperate to think the world is against them.... Well the packaging sets that trick up nicely along with the title choice. Not to mention the song Neighbour as lead song.

But darn it all this pretty much works. Sure it's based on nothin' but air, a few squared off riffs and Whitfield Cranes engaging vocals but most of the time when you reach for the skip button something stops your hand. Tracks such as Come Tomorrow and Panhandlin' Prince work their witless charm though when the delve too deeply into whimsical territory things fall over (see Busy Bee).

Madman and Everything About You are regurgitated from the debut EP and everyone at the time became familiar with the bands take on Cats in the Cradle. This tune split many at the time - dunno 'bout you but I always felt the original spoke louder to parents, while UKJ's version with it's more youthful attack spoke more clearly to those not yet dads.

In summation a totally non essential release but definitely a good party album full of irreverent lyrics and simple cartoon style songs - some of which have some surprising heft such as Goddam Devil. Not to mention the closer, the track Mr Recordman which has a spark of maturity about it.

I Liked It.......2006-03-18

This album is highly entertaining. Good lyrics, good rhymes, funny, catchy tunes, it's got everything. Everytime I listen to it, the world feels like a better place. A real mood uplifter.

Average.......2005-03-14

This album I would say is average maybe a little above. I'd say it has two down falls lyrics and variety. All the songs kinda sound the same and are about the same thing. Basically the singer tries to hard to be "Metal". I'd say that if your looking for something very simular go for Skid Row or Motley Crue who do sound much like this band. The worst idea of all was however to cover the song "Cats In The Cradle". Heres why, the song is basically about a son and father who don't have enough time for each other. When the son is young he wants to spend time with his dad but he is too busy and when the dad gets older he wants to spend time with his son but he's too busy. Than to the to singing "And the cats in the cradle and the sliver spoon little jimmy... and the man on the moon" what is that supposed to mean. On the postive even though the songs sound a lot alike the instrumentals and singing got a different sound from typical metal. Plus with a name like that you'd think they would just be extremely terrible which they are not. In the end if you want a real metal cd stay away but if you like poppy music you may like this.

I guess some things just can't compete with Blizzard Beasts.......2005-02-03

Before you decide whether to call someone's opinion helpful, read their other reviews. This CD was not overlooked in its time and yes, millions of people did in fact buy it. It is incredibly funny and the band is moderately musically talented. The lyrics are inane but the riffs and solos are top-notch.
As far as posterity goes, people will probably not buy a million more copies of this CD in the future. However, they will remember a few songs on it with a nod and maybe a chuckle. That's more than we can say for anything Overkill or Hollowman has produced or ever will produce.

not for the serous-minded .......2004-11-01

this patrick dude is obviously jealous that his folk down under don't have any famous bands (except AC/DC and midnight oil, which are beyond anyone's notion of "bad"). i'm writing this review simply because i'm (...)that some (...)writing (...) about someone who's died very young in a tragic bike accident (whitfield's dead,...). this is one of the albums i grew up with so it sort of has a sentimental value for me. anyone who picks this up looking for superb musicianship, creative arrangements and deep, philosophical lyrics and sh*t is either misguided or just a(...). this is simply care-free, humorous biker/surfer/glam rock at its best. anyone who's heard "everything about you" knows what they're in store for. UKJ have later on actually taken a slightly more "serious" turn with "motel califiornia", but this is still a great album. fun to listen to. i listen to a lot of various (...), . but i like this just as same. a simplistic, fun and catchy album. perfect soundtrack for a ride by the beach on a hot summer's day (topped off with a cold beer, of course). they might not have a street named after them and they might not floor you with their mind-boggling musicianship and intricate lyrics and ideas, but in every person's life there are moments when you get sick of that cr*p (especially during the summer, when you feel just too good and light-hearted for anything else). well, "america's least wanted" just might be what you need right then.

Not Just Ecstasy of the Gold..........2007-04-04

Hugo Montenegro be gone! If you have heard any of this Ennio Morricone music in other formats by other artists, you owe it to yourself to hear the original vision for this music. You can almost see the movie without watching it, as you listen to this atmospheric, haunting soundtrack. While most people associate this soundtrack solely with either the main title theme or Ecstasy of the Gold, there is much more here worth repeated listening and appreciation. Highly recommended.
