5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nostalgic Looking Back, April 5, 2004

By	gobirds2 (New England) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This CD is actually pretty nostalgic now that I listen to it. It actually brings memories back from the original films scored by Ennio Morricone. I remember purchasing the original album as an LP and was a little disappointed because it wasn't exactly Morricone. Listening to it now actually brings me back to a time when I first saw A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE and THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. The unique music was one of the elements that stood out and created the world of the Spaghetti Western for a whole generation that loved those films. Hugo Montenegro's contribution to that end cannot go unrecognized. I truly enjoy this CD and it sounds quite good and vibrant as ever.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the Soundtracks, May 30, 2006

By	Chris from California - See all my reviews

These rather dated arrangements lack the drama and beauty of the original soundtracks. Also, the entire album is only 28 minutes long. It's definitely not worth paying full price for.

4.0 out of 5 stars Groovy re-working of the originals, October 25, 2001

By	John W Noble (CANBERRA, ACT Australia) - See all my reviews

While respect must be paid to the original themes composed by the wonderful Ennio Morricone, Hugo Montenegro and his excellent orchestra must be congratulated for what is a very easy listening, almost groovy re-working of Morricone's work. A great re-interpretation. I just LOVE Aces High! Highly recommended to all fans of not only the great Spaghetti Westerns, but all Westerns.
