Hi, My favorite Morricone soundtrack would be the soundtrack he did for 'Gli Occhi Freddi Della Paura' (AKA 'Cold Eyes of Fear'), which he made together with the electronic/improvised music group that he was part of, 'Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza'. I did not sea the movie (directed by Enzo G. Castellari), but the music is a great mix of electronics, free improvisation and the usual film music of Morricone in the seventies (often together in one track). The CD is on the Dagored label.

Absolutely agreed. The film is watchable but not particularly memorable ... about as good as that German crime film with the Can soundtrack whose title I can't even remember at the moment ;-) ... _A Quiet Place in the Country_, from roughly the same time, leans a bit more toward the electronic and is probably my favorite soundtrack; I don't think it's been out on CD yet, unfortunately. I'm also partial to _The Thing_. All of the Nuova Consonanza discs are worthwhile; probably my starter pick would be the yellow s/t one on Edition RZ. -- Jim Flannery newgrange@talmanassociates.com When you can't give anything, you can also receive nothing.
