The major Morricone fan is probably going to also want the Rhino two-CD anthology A Fistful of Film Music, but this is a 31-track, 73-minute sampler (at a budget price!) devoted to the western music that made him famous is a fantastic sampler. Most of the familiar Morricone/Leone title themes are here (several selections from "Fistful of Dollars," "For a Few Dollars More," "Once Upon a Time in the West"--although curiously not "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly"). But perhaps most exciting are the many tracks (and movies) you've probably never heard of ("A Gun for Ringo," "Guns Don't Argue"). All of it, however, is unmistakably vintage Morricone, with those twanging guitars and melodramatic, sweeping choruses. Hysterical and epic, over-the-top and genuinely moving, nobody's ever written music quite like this. --Jim Emerson

great Spaghetti Western sounds.......2006-08-13

I love all of the music from Spaghetti Westerns, and the master of the genre was without a doubt, Ennio Morricone. The music on this CD is the actual music heard in the movies. Some of the westerns are more well known than others, but all of the music stands up and it is great "mood" music.

Best Gift Ever.......2006-03-11

My friend has been looking for a spaghetti western CD for over a year. When I found this CD I knew I had struck gold. I'm not a big fan of the spaghetti westerns but I have to admit I really enjoy listening to this CD. But more important my friend, who is a huge fan of spaghetti westerns LOVES this CD. It may be one of the best gifts he has ever received. If you or someone you know is a fan of the spaghetti westerns then this is a must have.

Fantastic Collection.......2006-02-12

I'm a huge fan of film soundtracks, and upon listening to this CD I remember why. Many of the songs are pure atmosphere, where you can feel the tension in the air and be sent to a world where violence wasn't the problem, it was the solution.

Some of the ballads were downright hysterical, and I dare anyone to listen to "A Gringo like me" without cracking up. The only down side in the lack of anything from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", but you might as well get the entire soundtrack for that, as it's probably one of his best works.

some unfamiliar stuff.......2005-08-05

This is an excellent album for Morricone fans and I enjoyed some of the music from the less popular westerns. The songs from the Leone films are still the best and also the ones that are the most familiar. Would of liked a little more detail about the performers but it does tell you who they are so you can find out about them elsewhere. Enjoyable listening and I have some on my computer at work for background there.

Good Music and Songs .......2005-02-25

This is one of the best collections of Ennio Morricone's Italian Western scores and songs. The sound quality is outstanding. I love the songs. "Lonsome Billy" is outstanding. "A Gringo Like Me" is moving. "The Vice of Killing" sums it all up.
