Morricone Groove: The Kaleidoscope Sound Of Ennio Morricone 1964-1977
Ennio Morricone was perhaps the greatest film composer of the twentieth century. This 2022 double album curates his most groove-oriented, soulful works from 1964 to 1977, focusing on his jazz-influenced, funk-adjacent compositions for lesser-known films rather than his famous Western scores. The music showcases Morricone's ability to blend orchestral sophistication with contemporary grooves, creating soundscapes that are simultaneously elegant and funky. Strings swirl over percolating rhythms, horns punch through lush arrangements, and the overall effect is hypnotic and deeply satisfying. A limited two-LP set revealing a side of Morricone that deserves far more attention—essential for soundtrack and groove enthusiasts.

The compositions feature fat basslines, distorted wah-wah guitars, and rhythms that will make any jazz and funk digger weak at the knees. It's an absolute goldmine of Morricone's work and an essential document for any well-curated soundtrack collection. Sealed. |
