Ennio MorriconeMorricone Segreto Songbook

Forget the sweeping spaghetti western scores. This is the hidden Morricone, song based and strange, swinging from pop-psych shimmer to dark, menacing film themes to elegant chanson. A wordless female voice floats over lush, off-kilter arrangements, and avant-garde textures creep in at the edges. Twenty-one tracks pulled from his film work between 1962 and 1973, seven of them never heard before. Eerie, gorgeous, and nothing like what you expect from the name. For anyone who thought they knew him.
