Format:Audio CD
Lush, mellow and sexy as all get-out, this curious pairing of American producer Danger Mouse (he of Gnarls Barkley and Broken Bells) and Italian composer Daniele Luppi (he of Sex and the City) could have been tedious. But Mr. Mouse's track record of mesmerizing collaborations -- no matter how out-there the premise -- remains peerless, as this tribute to iconic Italian film music drips with '60s cool. The material is original; the project was five years in the making. But Ennio Morricone's influence (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West) is robust. In order to replicate the retro sound, Danger Mouse and Luppi recorded as if it were 50 years ago, which means no computer trickery. They also brought in musicians who worked with Morricone on those classic spaghetti-Western scores. And to give it all a little commercial polish (but still retain that hip sheen), Jack White and Norah Jones were brought in to contribute vocals, each one steamier than the next. Jack White plays a sorta gunslinger, especially on The World, which sounds like dusty dueling music. And Jones is pure femme fatale, luring people into her tricky web on many scrumptious rides. This is a true masterpiece and I can already say it will be overlooked by many but trust me and get this one now!

4.0 out of 5 stars Theatrical May 17, 2011
Format:Audio CD
This is an album I have waited for with eager anticipation ever since I heard it was in the making. One of my favourite producers Danger Mouse collaborating with Italian composer Daniele Luppi on an album of theatrical Spagetti movie soundscapes, and the vocals of Jack White and Norah Jones. How could it possibly fail?

Well, it doesn't. The sweeping "Theme Of "Rome"" (laced with operatic flourishes and delicately tapped percussion) opens the album, followed by the gently shuffling "The Rose With A Broken Neck" with White's vocals layered in upper and lower register. White appears again on "Two Against One" (in a spoken/sung performance), and closing cut "The World".

The pace of the album rarely strays above a midtempo shuffle, and every song is brief. Jones appears on the sultry "Season's Trees", the dark "Black" (with cascading guitar sounds and an intro remniscent of The Eagles' "Hotel California"), and the gently swinging "Problem Queen".

Other standouts are the Bluesy "Roman Blue", the ghostly "The Gambling Priest", and the incredibly beautiful "Morning Fog" (with quivery organ, haunting harmonies and a delightful keyboard solo).

It's nothing earth shattering, just deeply affecting and beautiful, and sometimes, that is enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Space station lounge music June 7, 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Not what I was expecting, but lovely and dreamy. A few tracks had a western feel, but for the most part, it really reminded me of late 90's Air- which I love, so that worked out for me.
