Humor was intended. The part about "excruciatingly pointless" describes so much of what is posted in these forums that your son and his friends would fit right in. (As for "unfunny," apparently that suits my comments as well.)

Now I get it, and that's not only funny, it's true.

Really, there was nothing profound or antagonistic in my intentions. In the end, everything is the fault of our parents, at least that is what the voices in my head keep telling me.

No problem at all. I guess I just took it the wrong way. (What's funny was that I started thinking, "I don't remember ever having any arguments with estgrey...or did I?" "No, you didn't," the other voices said...)

Guns for San Sebastian has become an utter favourite. I hear similarities in the soundscape here.

I've been listening to the audio samples for nearly a week. I found it too raucous at first, but now the music's getting to me. 'An Indian Story' ... love the sounds and the mood.

The choral parts get very wild; I'd be a little scared to play it if anyone else was in the house!

Oh, Mithras! It's fantastic! Ordered!

Any chance of FSM expanding Morricone's "Great Silence" (aka Grande Silenzio, 1968)?

That's a beautiful & chilly sounding score (matching the snow exteriors of the film) I have it one the Beat label. Morricone fans who haven't heard it should check it out.

My guess since they are playing around with so many UA titles HORNET'S NEST and THE HILLS RUN RED are much more viable.

Navajo Joe has arrived. Looks great. Added bonus: a John Barry collector card.

Just Got Navajo Joe and Guns For San Sebastian, listening to Joe now. Got a Gerald Fried collector card.

Gotta say, this was my first time ordering from Screen Archives and their service was FAST and efficient. I will be ordering from them again.

Okay, I had never heard this before, never heard the music aside from the main title clip and I bought it on a whim.
Glad I did! Haven't stopped listening to it.

To Bruce Marshall - I think you'll find that the voices in BURN/QUEIAMADA are in fact singing

a - pon - his - soul - a - pon - his - soul

The main title is one of the most propulsive and enjoyable of Morricone's career.

I think of the praise a certain big-name film composer gets, and he simply didn't/doesn't have the audacious creativity of Morricone at his best.

We mustn't forget that Morricone was given more or less artistic carte-blanche during that period. This is not something many other composers have enjoyed at any time during their careers.

I believe abolicao means "abolition."

I also bought this on a whim, and I don't think I've enjoyed any album from last year quite as much. I needs to get me more Morricone.

Actually, director Pontecervo originally wanted to use a pre-existing piece of music for that scene. Ennio talked him out of it!

I was fortunate enough to see NAVAJO JOE yesterday for the first time, in a decent-looking 35mm print at the American Film Institute. Although the AFI advertised that the print was going to be in Italian with English subtitles, it was dubbed into English instead. This was OK by me, as I preferred to hear Burt Reynolds speaking English rather than have him dubbed into Italian. That is how the film originally played in the U.S., and it's also the only language option on the Region 1 DVD. Love the score and the FSM CD.

I bought this on a whim a while back during an SAE sale and I've spent the last couple of days giving it its first listen. And hoooo boy, this score is incredible. It's insane and ridiculous in all the best ways. It's completely disarming; I admit I laughed when I realized the "Nav-a-jo Joe Nav-a-jo Joooooooooe" chant wasn't going away, but it didn't take long for it to hook me with its insistent earnestness and self-seriousness. It never once blinks. I'm no Morricone expert but it also strikes me as one of his more thunderous scores. The percussion will blow you out of the back of your den.

Though I was intrigued by the samples I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but this listen was my most pleasant surprise since FSM's own EYES OF THE DEVIL.
