    Although i generally agree with you, still you have to admit that sometimes, he makes some completely out of place choices, fanboy musical choices that are indeed what Moriconne said: without coherence to what's going on on-screen.

    I disagree with that. There's ALWAYS some sort of purpose to Tarantino's choices, whether it's in the tone and style or in the association in relation to what he wants to convey with the scene. It's a different approach to film music that IMO is no less valid than a more traditional, instrumental underscore.

    I'm sorry but I happen to be a fan of that 'douche', what music genre have you changed in your lifetime so far and left an considerable impact in?

    On the 21st of may Ennio Morricone is doing a concert at the Cannes festival and a movie theater very close to me is doing a Live screening of the concert! Although I've never been to one of these movie theater concert showings, I think I might give it a go and eat popcorn and nachos during a Morricone concert smile

    I agree Thor. But it doesn't always work. And I must say DJANGO left me a bit disappointed on this piece. Not the rap piece -- that's all fine. But the spaghetti western music itself -- hardly a novel music choice for a western. I can take it in KILL BILL and INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, where it brings something new to those genres, but here it really is de rigeur. And then there's that curious use of Goldsmith's 'Nicaragua', where Tarantino almost seems to slow down the film just to fit in a piece of music -- truly bizarre scene that robbed Samuel L Jackson's later emergence as a villain of any potential surprise.

    I loved that scene. Almost made it out to be the 'parade of the chariot' sequence from BEN HUR....in Tarantino's unique fashion.

    Novel can be good, but one shouldn't always be novel. If they had been riding around on bikes instead of horses, that would have been novel as well, but it would hardly have been a good or sane choice to make. Considering that the movie was Tarantino's homage to spaghetti westerns it simply had to use spaghetti western music. This was the one movie where it couldn't be left out.

    Anyhoo, I love all the spaghetti western pieces that Tarantino chose. The Nicaragua piece was great as well, but perhaps I'm biased to how it works in the movie since I love it as standalone music...

    Peter smile

    PS. I just want people to know that when people bump this thread and the R.I.P. In Memoriam thread on the same day it always gives me a near-heart attack.
  14. Of course novel isn't always good but tarantinos main asset is his capacity to surprise. When he slips into doing things that you can see coming he's not bringing his A game. Bringing delerue or giallo morricone to a western would have kept it fresher.

    The Nicaragua choice is fresh. But the sequence stops the film in its tracks just as it enters its trickiest stretch. Which is the screenplays problem to an extent, but judicious editing would have helped.

    I love it when films "stop in their track" to fous on a particular audiovisual tableau (giving narrative second priority).

    And so do I.

    When it works.

    Just to throw a bit of fat on the fire, I probably would've liked PROMETHEUS more if it'd done that more instead of only presenting audiovisual tableau as an accessory to a lousy plot.

    * (It wasn't even particularly bad here, but it is the point where the screenplay really starts to slow down significantly after establishing a certain kind of rhythm. The dog scene just before was probably where the problems really started.)

    Glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this. There's a good chance, on that dreadful day in a very distant future, that we'll find out that way. Though I suspect that both threads will have above 10 posts each. My heart skips a beat every time I see them both bumped, even when they only have a single post each, which is a bit silly.

    Well, that's exactly the way I find out about John Barry's passing was logging on here first and seeing the two threads together, as soon as I saw it without opening one of them I just knew what was coming sad When I saw Ennio & RIP together last night my first thought was a pit sinking 'oh no'. Glad it was wrong.

    Brand new score from the Maestro:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Come-un-Delfino … un+delfino

    As far as I can tell it's a tv series continuation of the movie with the same name he scored a couple of years ago, but based on the clips none of the themes from that are carried over - it's all new. (And sounds great!)

  23. It looks like standard RTI artwork. These tend to be digital-only releases and there's only "bare bones" time spent on things like artwork.

    I sometimes wonder whether Morricone has found the cure against aging.

    Anyway, the review of the new album sounds great! I especially like to hear that it doesn't reuse material from the original series, and that there are a lot of themes. That's exactly what I crave.

    Moscow would be awesome. I've always wanted to go there (and Russia in general). But I'm not that big a fan, and now that I've seen him live once, I don't feel the immediate urge for another.
