Advantages: Great tribute to a great composer. Disadvantages: Not suitable to anyone who isn't familiar with Morricone's music.
I think the title of this album should be considered a solid fact. We do all love EnnioMorricone! He's easily one of the best composers of recent times, and hundreds of films would be lost without his music.
Despite not giving a full picture of Morricone's work, i think this is still a great tribute album. The fact that artists from Celine Dion, to Bruce Springsteen, to Metallica, ahve come forward to pay their tributes shows the extent to which Morricone has touched the world.
I found out about this tribute from the Metallica website when they announced they'd recorded their own version of "Ecstasy Of Gold", and I immediately bought it. Ecstasy of Gold, and Bruce Springsteen's "Once Upon A Time In The West" are my favourite tracks on the album, but they all have their strengths. At that, I wouldn't say that any of the artists ...
Advantages: Soundtrack Disadvantages: Too many to mention
An average film that will entertain some people who like the emphasis on action. I found the sound track on this movie simply terrible.
According to Tiscali.co.uk: "This laboured and unfocussed action adventure gets lost in a sandstorm of sub plots and excess. Drawing inevitable comparisons to the superior Indiana Jones, Sahara lacks the wit and invention of the Spielberg/Lucas trilogy and McConaughey is certainly no Harrison Ford... ...The elaborately staged action sequences, though short on inspiration, come as a welcome respite from the turgid story which ultimately links Eva and Pitt's separate searches."
I found the promotional website is a far more entertaining option (http://www.saharamovie.com/main.html) more interesting than the film.
Running time: 124 mins

Advantages: A good intro to Morricone's work Disadvantages: Is it really his most significant work? "the very best"?
Like most compilations, this is a slanted album that shows just the most popular (rather than "the very best") of Maestro Morricone.
How dangerous it is to reduce such a prolific composer to one single CD! Certainly a good intro for someone who doesn't know anything about him, but still in that case, I´d rather listen to a complete soundtrack of his.
If you are a Morricone fan, you would agree that Morricone's eclectic spirit could suit any music lover... yet this album cannot offer an eclectic picture of his genious. Please take a look in online databases at his filmography and you'll find over 500 soundtracks. He has virtually touched every style of music except for rap (or am I wrong?).
Fundamentaly Morricone is all about emotions. Thus his work is varied and eclectic as an unfolding life that nurtures itself from ...
