Search - Ennio Morricone :: Film Music Maestro - O.S.T. (Box)

Flaky and deceptive

"Wow, all that delay and anticipation, to hear this long list of sometimes-rare "selected works of Ennio Morricone film music," and it turns out to be tacky synthesized versions of his music -- OBVIOUSLY not arranged, composed, or conducted by Morricone himself. The original music from the Maestro is fine, indeed, but these ridiculous covers render it nearly impossible to discern that, especially if you've never heard the originals. And so the frustrating search continues for some ORIGINAL rare recordings. No doubt the makers of this material were well aware of the situation and more than willing to exploit in so cheap and shameful a manner. Maybe some people don't mind synthesized sounds; for me, it's an utter disappointment.

Film Music Fake

"I am sorry to say this is not the real thing. After downloading two MP3 songs it was obvious this is not the haunting brass and guitar movie music from Ennio Morricone we heard and loved. This is some one using a synthesizer in a poor attempt to electronically render it, and it certainly does not sound the same as the original. We can only hope someone actually puts together a true album of Ennio Morricone music with at least a true brass and guitar rendition rather than more fake remixes. You are better off getting Once Upon a Time... The Essential Ennio Morricone.
