Editorial Reviews

Some five years in the making, the conception of Rome actually dates back even further, to the 2004 meeting of Brian Burton a/k/a Danger Mouse and Italian composer/arranger Daniele Luppi. Burton was emerging from the aftermath of the media storm around his Grey Album and beginning work on Gorillaz now multi-platinum and Grammy winning Demon Days. Luppi was amassing acclaim for his album An Italian Story, which paid tribute to the cinematic sounds that shaped his childhood, while writing music for the screen (Sex In The City, Nine, etc.) and soon thereafter contributing arrangements to Burton projects including Gnarls Barkley, Dark Night of the Soul and Broken Bells.

United in their shared passion for classic Italian film music, Burton and Luppi have created a record like no other: Intense songwriting periods both together and apart and travels to Rome during which Luppi reunited for the first time in decades original musicians from the scores of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West including the legendary Marc 4 backing band and Alessandro Alessandroni's 'I Cantori Moderni' choir laid the groundwork. Recording took place in Rome's cavernous Forum Studios formerly Ortophonic Studios, founded, amongst others, by the great Ennio Morricone -- employing vintage equipment, for which Burton and Luppi would pay with bottles of wine, and making every effort to replicate the recording practices of the 1960s/70s golden age, recording live to tape, with no electronics, computers or 21st-century effects.

Crucial to the completion of Rome has been the enlistment of two lead vocalists who not only do justice to but complete the three songs each written for a man and a woman. While on tour with Gnarls Barkley, Burton met Jack White and a year later, White recorded his contributions The Rose With The Broken Neck, Two Against One and The World in Nashville. White s counterpart, in a revelatory turn, is Norah Jones, who flew to Burton s L.A. studio from New York to sing on Season's Trees, Black and Problem Queen.

With acclaimed director and photographer Chris Milk brought in as "Visual Director", half a decade of hard work and unstinting perfectionism would draw to a close as the album and package were completed.

From Rome's opening with soprano Edda Dell'Orso's dramatic voice (the same haunting vocal presence from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 44 years ago) gracing Theme of Rome to the closing strains of The World, Rome -- for all its cinematic qualities -- is not the soundtrack to an imaginary movie, but rather a complex, nuanced pop record rife with counterpoints of intensity and darkness as well as uplift and light. (Luppi calls it "a small window on human life, touching on love, death, happiness, desperation, and the visceral connection of a man and a woman".) It's an ambitious work with a uniquely modern sound achieved through traditional, vintage means. It is, above all, a fully realized album, perfectly formed and hauntingly beautiful.

Welcome to Rome.

Appetizer

ByRtRadkeon February 16, 2013

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Listening to Rome, I felt like I was just eating a delicious appetizer and never made it to the main course, let alone dessert. The problem with the album is that, while the music is everything I hoped it would be - namely, a resurrection of Italian spaghetti western scores adapted to into pop songs - there really isn't that much music here. Clocking in at just over half an hour, it seems like half the album is made up of instrumental versions of the six songs that Norah Jones and Jack White appear on. Granted, the music here is great and all scores repeat musical motifs, yet I felt like I was waiting for a climax that never came. The ideas here are fleshed out, but there aren't all that many of them. It's a good album, but it's not a great album. For the main course, I'd recommend picking up the incredible Ennio Morricone Gold Edition - 50 Movie Themes Hits. For dessert, I highly recommend Mike Patton's Mondo Cane.

Excellent tribute to the "spaghetti western" classics

ByD. Krzewinskion July 14, 2011

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

As has been well documented, Brian Burton was a long-time fan of the soundtracks of the classic spaghetti westerns, and with Daniele Luppi has crafted a superb tribute to the music of Ennio Morricone and his contemporaries of that era. If you grew up watching Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef in the 60s as I did, or even if you just like the atmosphere of those oldies but goodies, you will absolutely love this CD.

The vocal tracks are all excellent, my favorite among them being Nora's sultry voice singing "Black," but the real highlights of this disc are in my humble opinion the instrumentals. "Roman Blue," "Her Hollow Ways" and "The Gambling Priest" as so superb at capturing the feel and ambience of those ageless soundtracks (without actually ripping off any particular one) that if I close my eyes I almost swear I can see a young Clint on horseback riding the Italian - er, Western - plains!

Mr. Burton does it Again!

Bytuataraon July 18, 2011

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

After constantly listening to the Burton/Mercer Broken Bells album for the past year, now comes Burton's Rome collaboration which I'll be constantly hearing for the next year!! What a beautiful record! The combination of vocal tracks and the lush instrumentals is flawless. Luppi, Jones and White add greatly to the final product. Ennio Morricone has always been one of my favorite composers and this 'soundtrack' really captures the feel of his music. Finally a suggestion for Norah Jones. You might want to consider doing an entire album with Brian Burton producing and Burton/Luppi writing the songs! Its certainly an album I would buy!

Rome - the movie.

ByA. Packon June 20, 2011

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

I can remember hearing talk about this album long before it came out. So when it was finely released I was caught a bit unaware. All I can say is it lives up to the hype. Rome is a beautiful album. The voices of Norah Jones and Jack White fit the music perfectly. I really do not think they could have chosen any more appropriate artists. As you're listening to the album it sounds just like a movie soundtrack which is exactly what Danger Mouse and Luppi where going for. Now all we need is someone to create 'Rome: the movie'. My favorite songs on the album are the three done by Norah and the three done by Jack. It's a beautiful album to add to your collection (perfect study/writing music).

Side note: I'm holding out for a Norah Jones/Jack White collaboration album now.

Awesome album!

ByBaronon January 28, 2017

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

Fantastic album! It's one of my fave albums and I listen to it weekly if not daily. The only problem I have is it's really short. I know it was a long time project and required a lot of work from various people, I just wish there was more. That's why it's only 4 stars.

A Rare Gem

ByF. Billion May 30, 2011

Format: MP3 MusicVerified Purchase

This is such an intense, amazing album. The more you listen to it the more you get addicted to the sound. The music transport yourself to imaginary places where everything is possible and can happen. It is not just an homage to Italian film soundtrack it is an homage to ingenuity. Everything is perfect: the rhythm, the interlude, the voices, the orchestra, every single instrument. It is a unique experience, a masterpiece. Although it is hard to pick one single piece, my favorite song is "Rose with a broken neck". Here Jack White gives the best of himself. There are no words to describe this album: LISTEN TO IT and HAPPY DREAMS!

Danger Mouse does it again

BySizzlechest_Kon July 3, 2011

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

I am an admitted Danger Mouse fan. I have liked all of his music so far. This album is no different. It has that distinctful Danger Mouse sound, but what carries the day are the guest vocal spots from Jack White and Norah Jones. I will not try to describe the nuances of their singing styles, but I will just generally say they both fit with the music. The album is not long at all and there were two songs that should be skipped all of the time, but overall the album is worth purchasing. There is nothing substantial in the liner notes, so if you are comfortable with a digital download, I would recommend it for this CD.
