Shall we share some love for the maestro?

Here’s a track from a recent discovery - Giornata Nera Per L’Ariete

Discovered this a couple of years ago. Bit lighter in tone than a lot of his stuff and I imagine the likes of Stereolab and Broadcast have heard this a few times. The whole piece is beautiful but there’s a section that lasts about 90 seconds from around 2 mins in that is absolutely magical.

Françoise Hardy did this in French too, called Je changerais d’avis (different lyrics, not a translation from Italian).

Everyone should hear this - Morricone’s songs from the 60s. Pure gold. Volume 2 is the 70s and there are a couple more volumes too. The first one is the best though. image

Saw him a couple of years ago with his orchestra at The O2 - it was AMAZING. Worth the £100 per ticket :scream: I paid for the TV and I to have eighth row seats…

Obvious answer, but this is one of my favourites. One of the most beautiful things i’ve heard.

Love a bit of Morricone. I was at the same gig. Well worth the cost. I made sure to get good seats as Ive always wanted to see Morricone live.

I laughed when I saw them giving out earplugs in this tour but Fuck Me!

Happy Birthday Ennio!
