5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Spagetti Soundtrack, October 7, 2000

This review is from: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

I was always very familar with the film "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and have been a very keen admirer of the soundtrack by Morricone. My big disappointment with this recording is the quality, a remastering is certainly called for, such an amazing score needs this treatment.

The main theme is of course very popular and recognised worldwide, my favorite however is the last track "The Trio". This tune added immeasurably to the tension towards the the end of the film. A triumph for Morricone who always believed that the soundtrack should be an intricate part of the motion picture experience.

Morricone has composed countless works for film and television, however along with "Gabriels Oboe" "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" remains his most popular.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's just plain good, March 24, 1999

This review is from: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

A great atmospheric mix of rock, ambient and Spanish guitar music. From mellow watch the sun go down laments to the fist-pumping ride into battle finale, this album has it all.

This review is from: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

The soundtrack to The Good, The Bad & Ugly is Ennio Morricone's best spagetti western work. Full of atmospherics and rich melodic moments, Morricone makes the desert landscape seethe with emotions.

The theme is one of the best ever written, with its animalistic cries and muttering. Grunting and apocalyptic guitars: rock n' roll at its best. But there is more. The song is one of the most moving pieces of music I've ever heard.

This soundtrack, unlike most, sounds like a complete work and can be listened to as such. Morricone is economical in terms of his melodic and harmonic materials, but extravagant in his orchestrations, which makes The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly soundtrack flow from beginning to end.
