Great list Udi and indeed, so much to discover. Enjoy your journey!

I don't know that compilation but I love daring and experimental sounds and can enjoy dissonance and atonal stuff
But what sets Morricone apart from almost anyone else I have listened to in my 50 years of music loving is the fact he has such a rare balance of tradition and experimentation and perhaps above all his sense of melody
That is such a gift and that is why I consider Morricone to be such a "complete" musician

This week I discovered "La Proprietà Non E' Più Un Furto" - anyone know this ?
What a weird but wonderful score !

I am relatively new to Morricone only a few years and "seriously" only for a few months...
I am thrilled there is so much more to discover !




Great list, Udi. It's also great that you have Spasmo at the top. It didn't make my list (from almost two years ago!) but having recently seen the film I think it might do now.

I did notice that many of your titles appear on a two-LP set from the mid-70s called "I Film Della Violenza", which is my favourite compilation and which cemented my life-long admiration for Morricone. If you have facilities for playing LPs and can get hold of this, I think you'd love it just as I did, and still do (although it's now only a playlist on my ipod).

The double LP Tg talks about, we all had in the 70s. And the double western one. And the un film una musica LP, which had a bit of everything, couple westerns, war films, love stories etc.
By the mid seventies, For those of us who had collected the westerns and the other more accessible well known scores, like sicilian clan, one night at dinner, the burglars, grand slam, night caller (fear on the city) and a few others - these double LPs were wonderful tasters and great listens in their own right.

I recall discussing this title, amongst a few others, with one of my wife's Italian cousins a few years ago during a visit ... I was proudly demonstrating my collection of Maestro Morricone titles on Soundtrackcollector.com ...

... to which he replied (in his broken English, significantly better than my few words of Italian!): that's the type of film even most Italians don't know!

Certainly a weird score but not the weirdest from this legend!

Should we start a new thread titled " Morricone's Weird soundtracks " ?

Weird scores? Apart from the difficulty in defining weird, its goin to be a long list!
There is something weird (or unusual or innovative or quirky) in every morricone score!

That's a really great list, even though only nine of them overlap with mine (particularly pleased at the inclusion of Revolver). But as my good friend Bill says many posts above, you could justify the inclusion of the vast, vast majority of his c500 scores for one thing or another.

I'm not sure I've even heard 28 Morricone soundtracks. But I'd have to put Days of Heaven and The Mission right up there, Phantom of the Opera, Casualties of War.

I have quite a few, but the ones I tend to listen to the most are two non-westerns, La Donna Invisibile & Metti Una Sera A Cena (& there was an expended release of this a couple of years ago), & three westerns, Gui La Testa, My Name Is Nobody & Tepepa (great Christy vocal), & those two great Mondo compilations, & the other day I found the extended For A Few Dollars More & I've been listening to that, I think that CD is worth a few bob now.

Is it? I have it in front of me now, it's on the GDM label copyright 2003 with a, limited edition for collectors label. Executive producer Gianni Dell'Orso, executive production for Hillside CD production by Lionel Woodman. Quite a few of the extra tracks come up as - probably from the DVD - & they have sound effects on them, but funnily enough they're in stereo.

Whatever, I'm keeping it smile

That is a great cd sound effects and all I love it, Would like to get a better version at some point if Morricone ever allows a more complete one to be released.

Noticed on Intermezzo Media website that Cinevox has re issued La Cosa Buffa on cd that is a really great score.

It is not a boot, however some tracks contain SFX. If you take them out of the playlist the GDM release is the same length as the EMI(?) version.

One of the biggest challenges in trying to create a top 10, 28 or 30 list of Morricone is accessibility. A number of Morricone titles released by GDM, FSM, Quartet and Music Box are no longer available so it makes it harder to explore his music. Spotify goes some of the way to addressing the issue for the moment. In general as supply of CDs disappear it may become harder still for new fans to appreciate his work.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of that extended GDM release, just know there are various reasons as to why a "proper" complete release has not happened.
