movie review.......2007-06-25

Having never been to Paris and always wanting to, this film served as a good introduction to the vast number of neighborhoods that make up the city. The only one i've known about was Montmartre, the neighborhood on the hill which is Paris' highest elevation. But with that said, this film is not really an examination of all these neighborhoods. All they really do is serve as a backdrop to the human drama and comedy that make up the 18?-is-it?, mini-stories that make up this film. Each segment begins with the name of the particular neighborhood the segment takes place in.
The entire film kept me interested throughout except for a couple of the entries. There were moments of positively enraptured elegance and mystery.....I think my favorite segment starred Juliet Binoche as a grieving mother who is visited by a ghostly cowboy played by Willem Defoe who asks her if she wants to see her son. A romantic light/drama set in the overwhelming Paris cemetary was a highlight("friends stab you in the front"-Oscar Wilde) and comic relief with Steve Buchemi set in the Paris Metropolitan(their subway system)was welcomed. A man learns that his wife has leukemia just as he was preparing to split up with her. A comical portrait of a mime takes place around the Eiffel Tower. The final segment featuring a lonely American woman vacationing by herself in the Paris she has always dreamt of reaching, I'm not sure how i feel about it. I feel sad for her despite her segment-ending revelation that Paris has made her understand and appreciate that she is alive. This will be a good purchase when it comes out on DVD. See it in your theaters is you get a chance

The American Experience Encapsulated.......2007-06-23

For more than twenty years now, I've been listening to this haunting music and it has never dulled. Revisiting it now, in my forties, I find it overwhelmingly sad....tracks #2 "Poverty" and #3 "Deborah's Theme" crystallize what I think is the theme of the movie: how a group of young people coming of age just when the country itself is coming into its own can, like the leadership of the country, make choices that impact the rest of their lives. Can they....can the country...find redemption? Like great fiction, and, many would say, like the movie, it has different meanings as you listen to it at different stages in your own life. I call that music for the ages. This one will be regarding as a classic long after my generation has left the earth.

Best Album Ever!.......2007-06-13

I've hundreds of movie soundtracks but this far by the best soundtract I've heard...The quality of the CD and the music from Morricone is timeless. The music is so haunting and so melancholic that feel inside of you. I highly recommend this album.

Once Upon a Time in America Soundtrack.......2007-03-18

For years I have trying to find this! It is beyond wonderful and moving!

One of the best movie soundtracks.......2007-03-08

Of all the soundtracks I own, this is probably the best. Morricone's skills and talent are evident on this CD. The information in the included leaflet give even more insight into the filming and composing of this classic film.

Timeless.......2005-02-24

You will not go wrong with this album. Every track is a masterpiece. If you loved the movie, you must have the accompanying soundtrack. I've had it for 15 years and when the mood strikes, there is nothing like it. Now, this version also comes with a few unreleased tracks. You can't lose!

Another Morricone Masterpiece.......2007-01-24

Once Apon a Time in The West...have you seen the movie? Have you ever heard of this movie? If you are a 'western' freak, a spaggetti western tragic, a serious film student or immersed in popular cultural history it is hard to imagine how powerfull Sergio Leone's westerns would have been without the creative magic of Morricone's musical soundtracks.
Putting an accurate finger on the pulse of these gems is not easy.If you are connected to where music can take you......go along for this ride.I've seen recently that Morricone is touring...performing these tracks.Catch him while you can.

Haunting and Evocative.......2006-02-07

Ennio Morricone's score for THE GOOD,THE BAD AND THE UGLY is probably more recognizable to most people but I think this is some of the most stirring and majestic music ever created for a film; Morricone uses a symphony augemented by other instruments and the result: the best mix of harmonica, orchestral instruments and electric guitar and banjo ever. Once you hear it you will never forget it. Beautiful stuff.

Astoundingly beautiful music from the quintessential western opera!.......2006-01-20

It is not an exaggeration to say that the music on this CD is incredibly beautiful. And if ever anything has been composed that evokes the images and emotions of the West-this is it! Strange that a bunch of italians produced a western movie that captures this genre in a way that makes John Wayne look like a city slicker!! See the movie and buy the music and on this CD-it has additional songs that aren't usually put on the soundtrack. The songs are hauntingly beautiful, lonely, and the images in your head will be those of the vast, open western landscape-from Nebraska to Arizona. And, of course, the drama and emotions of the characters.
In the director's discussion of the movie, it was said that the movie was written to the music. A must have. . .

Ennio Morricone's grand musical score for "C'era una volta il West".......2005-08-14

John Williams gets a lot of the credit for the revival of the motion picture film score, mainly on the strength of his work for "Jaws" and "Star Wars." I can remember reading the linear notes for the double-album of the later which explained how each character had a theme and how Williams wove these all together. That was all impressive, and "Star Wars" is certainly on my list of Top 10 soundtracks of all time, but I saw "Once Upon A Time In The West" a decade earlier and so I know that Ennio Morricone had already done that. For me in the decade of the Sixties the only other comparable film scores for an epic film are what Maurice Jarre did for "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Doctor Zhivago." Still, I will maintain that no film score in that decade was as important to the story being told as Morricone's score for "C'era una volta il West."

Pertinent Aside: There is much to be said for composers who work with particular directors to great success. This would obviously include John Williams and Steven Spielberg, Maurice Jarre and David Lean, Bernard Hermann and Alfred Hitchcock, and Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone. For that last pair, "C'era una volta il West" represents each at their peak. No wonder this Spaghetti Western is a mythic representation of the Old West.

I am still fascinated by how Morricone employs variations of his themes. The main title theme sounds like a classical composition, with the soaring voices of the Modern Singers of Allessandroni, but then comes back as a simple violin piece for "A Dimly Lit Room." "As a Judgment" uses the fuzz of an electric guitar to establish the movie's "showdown" theme, while "Farewell to Cheyenne" weaves together whistling and the rhythm of a horse clopping along the trail. Morricone strips down the latter to be "The First Tavern." "Man With a Harmonica" has the wailing of the title instrument but with the underlying theme of "As a Judgment" working through it until we finally find out at the point of dying why Harmonica wants Frank dead. But the composer also strips the underlying music down farther in "The Man," while the harmonica becomes totally distorted in "Death Rattle." Morricone even anticipates the "Star Wars" music for the Cantina band with his old "Bad Orchestra."

Of course, now that I have listened to the score again I have to follow up by watching the movie, which remains my favorite western (and the first classic in the genre I actually got to see in a movie theater as opposed to discovering on television decades later). But I have to do that because ultimately it is a grave disservice to divorce the soundtrack from the movie, because there are so many key sequences where Morricone's music replaces the dialogue. This is especially true of the climatic duel between Harmonica (Charles Bronson) and Frank (Henry Fonda), and the entire end title sequence where Jill (Claudia Cardinale) brings out the water to the men working on the railroad. In fact, I think I can make a very good case that no other film score in movie history is as important to the story and as prominent in the overall equation of the film as what Morricone composed for "C'era una volta il West."

Of course, you can only come to this score through the film, and once you have seen the film there is no need to convince you of either the effectiveness or the importance of this score. Finally, I want to contend what we have here is the best film score not to be nominated for an Oscar and in case you were wondering the best film score to be nominated but not win is Randy Newman's one for "The Natural." Both are among the film scores nominated for consideration in the American Film Institute's 100 Years of Film Scores (which is, apparently, simply going to be a concert at the Hollywood Bowl on September 23, 2005 and not a list like AFI has put out for the Top 100 Movies, Songs, Quotes, etc. Morricone's scores for "The Mission," "Once Upon a Time in America," and "The Untouchables" have been nominated as well, but this one is still the best of the bunch by far.

The Master of Soundtracks.......2005-04-06

When speaking about soundtracks,There is only one true master and his name is Ennio Morricone. The "Once Upon A Time In The West", the Import version, is a true gem. It took me 37 years to find this soundtrack and it will always be a treasure. One of the features of the Import version are the 7 bonus tracks. It is hard to imagine owning this soundtrack, without hearing "Morton".For those who remember the movie, know all the main charaters had their own specific tune. I wish Morton's tune could have been longer. Who can forget the hypnotic harpsichord, associated with Jill in the movie, on the opening title track. This soundtrack is truly a masterpiece and Ennio Morricone's best.

Ghost in the shell series.......2007-01-09

Great tracks fromt the entire CD. I look forward to any further efforts from Kenji Kawai.

1 Star for Ghost in the Shell.......2006-02-01

What an incessently annoying score this is! There are few times where I so feverishly hated what a composer was doing to my ears. I have about 400 scores in my collection, and this one is in my top 5 most hated. Absolutely atrocious.
It's hard for me to describe the actual music in detail, because there's such little music to describe. This CD is more like one of those sound effects collection CD's you buy at the loonie store for 2 bucks. How people love it is beyond me - it's there opinion, to be sure, but I sure can't agree with it.
If you're looking for melodical music, or action music, or beautiful music, or basically interesting music of any kind, look elsewhere. This isn't a popular opinion, I know, but it's my personal feelings of hatred towards this "score". Do yourself a favour and go buy a score that will really give you some great music, like Passion of the Christ, or House of Sand and Fog, or Rabbit Proof Fence, or Requiem for a Dream. Not this thing, which couldn't carry a tune if it held it in a bucket.

Ancien Japanese and Cantonese.......2006-01-02

It's great music.you don't have to see movie to enjoy this music.even I don't understand lyric still like it.Lyric of track 1,5 and 10 must be written with ancien Japanese probably around 4 or 5 century. I can pick some words but can't make sense from there. then track 11 is Cantonese of cause I don't understand but I like the song.Talk about track 11, English title is never presented anywhere on CD or liner note.All I get from liner note is lyric writing by Pong Canck Man, sing by 15 years old girl Fang Ka Wing, how Kawai struggle to find right person to sing and all these happen because Oshii wants short Cantonese song. but when I play this CD with my computer while connecting internet,media player shows track 11 title as " See you eveyday " I could be wrong but that must be the English translasion.

bonus track? not quite..........2003-11-20

For those of you who are still clueless as to why track 11 was included in the soundtrack, go watch the movie again. If you listen carefully you can hear the song playing in the background during the chase scene in the market place. FYI, the song's in "cantonese" not japanese.

Great.......2003-10-08

I loved this... although the Track (11) is titled wrong. The real title is 11 - "Complex Universe."

listening to the music is like enjoying the beautiful surreal movie once again without seeing it. The more I listen, the more I love it - it's the Amercian Dream story, it's the Iggy Pop music, it's the Johnny Depp narrative make it a valuable collectible CD. This is a new version, the recording is excellent.

Masterpiece.......2003-09-02

This is the album that sounds even better without the Movie.
Goran Bregovic mixed traditional european Folk music with more modern styled instrumental and rock music.with this mix and his talent to make a moving and touching songs he created a masterpiece,delightfull voyage to teh darkest and most mysterious places...Goran added sytnhs,bass,delicate guitar (simmilar a bit to mike Oldfield),and a massive wall of drums...Check out "Dreams","Old home movie","Gunpowder","Dreams" and a huge hit "Tv screen" with Iggy pop on vocals.Definitly one of my Desert-island albums,a must have for all instrumental music fans and for everyone as well!!!!

Versatile Composer.......2003-06-30

As most fans of Bregovic know, he is a versatile composer who blends well contemporary music technology with traditional flavors of eastern European gypsy and still manages to remain above the par of the usual techno-studio corporate music that attempts to stamp the "World Music" label on its own concoctions. "Arizona Dream" doesn't disappoint even the hard to please of Bregovic fans.

Bond and beyond on an excellent career retrospective........1998-08-25

Imitation is often considered the greatest form of flattery. John Barry's oeuvre has been sampled by dozens of contemporary musical artists, and he is often credited as being the godfather of "trip hop" (check recent albums by Portishead and Mono to hear the Barry influence). The Academy-award winning composer has been producing music for over forty years, but this collection focuses on the artist's most commercially successful period, the 1960's. The instantly recognizable and inimitable Barry style is well documented throughout 23 varied compositions. Selections range from classic to obscure, and include all the title tracks from the early James Bond soundtracks. Barry's film and television music is the defining sound of that era - lush orchestrations, cool jazzy riffs, pure excitement. "Themeology" is an excellent starting point for the novice collector and equally attractive for the long-time admirer.

Truly Beautiful.......2004-05-05

This compilation is one of the most moving collections of music that I've heard. It's power are emotion are matched to such treasures as Pet Sounds. You may be initially turned off by the price but don't be. If purchased, this cd set will become a favorite, one that you will not grow tired of in time. I owned this cd and made the mistake of sharing it with a friend. Needless to say the cds were never returned. I searched for over a year to replace it. Unfortunately no one was stocking it. Its great to see that Amazon.com now has it in their catelogues. Buy it before it disappears forever!!!

Not for all Trance lovers. Only for die-hard Oakenfold fans........2004-01-29

This is very early Trance/Techno that is mixed well but not as well as some of Oakenfold's better works like Tranceport (his best CD to date) or Great Wall (His 2nd best).

This is more industrial club DJ music that is fast trance, with lots of very early beeps and beats. I would only recommend this one if you are a die-hard Oakenfold fan or if you want to listen to some fast trance with lots of fast drums. It does not really peak as much as his better CDs and certainly is devoid of the magic, but there is a DJ in the making here. This may have been good for its time but there is a lot better Oakenfold out there (and some worse ones!) when all is said and done.

This is very fast and early and not the best Oakenfold you can start with. I certainly recommend Tranceport over this one or Great Wall and prefer those CDs to this one but as you can see die-hard lovers of Oakenfold will rate this CD highly. I would not recommend starting here though.

The best blend of classical and electronica ever........2003-12-13

I was fortunate enough to get this first time around in the UK (The 2 disc version), where it failed to sell many copies on release unfortunately. But it is probbaly my most played album over the past few years.

The true talent of Oakenfold shines through here, as both a mixer and also as an ear for great music. The way the music flows from beautiful classical score to deep and thoughtful trance and back again has never been bettered. This is one of the few albums that I would say is beautiful, perfect for listening to in a darkened room or with your eyes closed.

I am even more impressed now as a number of these artists were not even household names in their own house at the time. The brilliant Astral Projection, Transa, Y Traxx and Man With No Name steal the show in my opinion but the album in quality from start to finish.

Disc 1 starts in chill out mode and regularly returns there in between some very cool sections of Goa and Trance.

Disc 2 is slightly harder overall but starts out with the achingly beautiful chimes of Zbigniew Preisner (Craven Leaves), quite possibly one of the most eerily beautiful tunes I've heard in a long long time.

Just out of inteest here is the full track listing (with artist).

Truely inspiring, I only wish that there were more like this. 5 out of 5 in any language.

I know I paid only £25 for this (about $25) at the time, but it really is worth the $48 or whatever it is these days. You will never regret it.

One of Oakie's Best by far!.......2003-07-23

This is my 6th addition to my ever growing Oakenfold collection and fuels my ambitions to keep it growing. Fluoro is rated at the top of my collection along with all other Oakie albums i've acquired. The Trance and Break Beats mixed with the Ambience gives this album a balanced fulfillment of what Oakenfold is capable of. I have yet to be disappointed. Five Stars!!!!

oakenfold at his best!!!.......2003-05-17

Paul Oakenfold is without question the most well known dj in the world and although, of late, his musical style has leaned heavily on euro-pop. This recording captures Oakenfold in his prime. The track listing is outstanding. The songs are quality through and through and they do not sound dated such as other compilations of the era. If you are a fan of this type of music, snatch this one up ASAP as it is now out of print. This one is even better than the revered Tranceport. Enjoy!! rock the vote :)

Some of the best minimalistic music ever written, not a great production though.......2006-01-29

Wim Mertens is my favourite minimalist along with Philip Glass. This soundtrack has it all. Great themes - probably the most memorable themes of any other soundtrack and intense atmospheric playing. The production of this CD though is very 'minimal', more so than any CD you'll ever buy for $20. I can not think of any other CD of that price range lacking all the essentials. A pitty.... 5+ * for the music, 1 - * for the package.

Some of the best piano compositions.......2001-11-16

I have not seen the Peter Greenways'film.. and maybe
I won't do that.. I am afraid to get dissapointed because
for me this CD reflects so much creativity and passion.
Three tracks are for me some of the best piano compositions ever:

1.Struggle for plaeasure
the piano, like Life,
begins slowly, softly,
marking the rhythm gently
then it becomes
sharp needles spining and falling from the sky
The wind instruments
are the vital fast breathing to survive Life

2. 4 mains

the piano marchs
the piano spins
the piano climbs
the piano falls

3. Close cover
If I have to choose the soundtrack for my life
it would be this piece

GREAT.......2001-09-18

If you like nice orchestral music, often stirring emotions of love and heartbreak, but still uplifting, go buy this album. It's that easy. I first heard a song from Wim on a Cafe Del Mar album and had to buy his entire album. It was obviously worth it and I think you'll agree when you listen to it. So go buy it.

A superb introduction to the minimalism of Branca & Mertens.......2001-06-24

This soundtrack for the Peter Greenaway film of the same name almost steals the film with it's careening, cyclical piano pieces perfectly matching architect Stourley Cracklite's world slowly collapsing amidst the Roman ruins of contemporary Rome. The soundtrack to the film is one of the few by Peter Greenaway that does not feature his usual partner in crime Michael Nyman. The soundtrack was initially developed by New York based minimalist composer Glenn Branca, but was largely rejected by Greenaway. An earlier release of this soundtrack did feature a few dramatic Brancian orchestral swells, but unfortunately this release (given the track listing) seems to have left these pieces off, which is a shame.

This release features the brilliant work of Belgian minimalist piano composer Wim Mertens, and is utterly stunning in it's emotional intensity, power and beauty, with cyclical piano motifs spinning the listener around in an intense but gorgeous emotional journey. Some of the work covered on this soundtrack can be found on Mertens' career highlight release 'Close Cover' (sadly out of print at the time of this writing). Those interested in work by Glenn Branca should also look to explore his early 80's orchestrated guitar recordings (some of which are not for the fainthearted), as well as 1992's sublime 'The World Upside Down'.

This is one of the best soundtrack recordings I have ever heard, and still sends chills through me almost ten years after seeing the film. It also represents an excellent introduction to the works of two very under-rated yet important modern composers.

Love the life.......2001-01-12

I'm sorry for my english, I'm spanish. I only want to say that Wim Vertens changed my life. Please , why this person is not a famous compositor? I am not an old person that hate pop music. I'm 22 and a electronic music composer in Spain, I talk about Wim Vertens discography not only this cd. His music go inside my mind and the time stop, When I finish I don't know where I am, who I am, I only know that my life has one way, be happy. Five stars for this person that love the life.

What A Treasure!!!.......2005-11-17

This Legrand Collection gets a 5 star rating from me. The music selection is comprehensive and the technical quality of the recordings is excellent all things considered. There are a number of tunes I wish had been included, but aren't ... such as additional songs from the Umbrellas of Cherbourg (besides the main theme), the love theme from "the Mountain Men and a number of others. The price of the collection is worth Norma Jean's Theme, Happy (Lady Sings The Blues), Noelle's Theme, and The Love Theme from Gable and Lombard (and there are more). There are a few things worthy of criticism in this collection, but I won't bother because if you like Legrand's music, as I do, I'm sure you'll overlook them as I have.

Film Music par excellance!.......2005-09-24

If you are a fan of French cinema or movie music in general, this box set is a must. Legrand has done it all --muscials, drama, love stories and it's all here with the best of the best on four great discs.

brilliant 4 disc set.......2005-07-21

this set is a great insight into this brilliant composers work,and a must have,for any film score collector.

Gallic Greatness.......2005-07-08

It's been a long time coming, but a comprehensive overview of the extraordinary music of Michel Legrand has finally appeared. A super 4-disc set from Universal Jazz via the capable hands of producer Stephane Larouge, does some considerable justice to Legrand's prolific output, and hearing all these great tunes and flights-of-fancy back-to-back renews one's admiration for a composer who is simply genius personified. There's not much point in listing all the hits but everything bar the kitchen sink is included, from 'Lola' to 'La Bicyclette Bleue.' Those of us who've been enchanted by Legrand's infectious melodies over the years cannot help but be enthralled by such a bounteous bag of baubles, and Larouge's track selection encompasses the well-known, the not-so-known, and the (frankly) unknown, even for those aficianados who thought they knew it all. Wherever possible the original recordings have been used, and in some (disappointing) cases, re-recordings. Presumably rights issues, or lack of element availability denied access to my own favorite, 'The Go-Between,' for example, which is represented by the composer's concert version that appeared almost a decade after the film. These are minor quibbles, and shouldn't for a second dissuade anyone even remotely touched by the wealth of musical beauty in Legrand's canon from immediately clicking on their "add to basket" icon. Quite simply you are in for a five hour listening experience that encompasses some of the best music to come out of France in the twentieth century.

Album Description

Elizabeth Drake knew as soon as she read the script of Japanese Story that this was a gift to the composer. Apart from the inherent strengths & fascination of the script itself, there was the opportunity for the inter-weaving & layering of elements of Japanese culture (Japanese instruments, modes, folksong & ritual) with western orchestral instruments, tonality & harmonic composition. The themes of cultural displacement, tragedy & transformation were as relevant to composition as they were to story-telling. This collectable CD comes complete with special features including an enhanced movie trailer (Quicktime & Windows Media Player compatible), 15 tracks including 2 bonus tracks not featured in the film, 'Hiromitsu' (alternate 'At The Waterhole') & 'Night Drive' (unused), plus an attractive & detailed 16 page booklet. Move. 2003.

Album Details

One of the most beautiful and poetic Movie Soundtrack ever.......2006-03-16

When I first looked for this CD, Amazon.com did not have it. So, as I knew the movie was from Australia, there I went surfing the Internet to find a place in Australia that offered this item.

I did not know then that this was an award winning soundtrack. Funny enough, no one amongst my friends ever heard of this movie.

My favorite track is #12 "I'd like to be involved" (Chinsagu No Hana). It lasts almost 15 minutes and I still want to hear more.

I love folkloric music and this one is really profound: I can almost feel the breeze from Mount Fuji, the morning dew dropping from the leaves, the smell of the morning meal being prepared... Oh Gosh!

I highly recommend this CD. Particularly to those who watched the movie, it is a must.
