Ultimate Morricone Collection - Various Artists

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 Ennio Morricone! 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: amazing compilation of songs
Disadvantages: a few not to my taste, only a bare amount

...A wonderful collection of purely acoustic songs. Inlucding the likes of James Blunt, David Gray, Maroon 5, Eva Cassidy, Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley and many more. Included in the album are two seperate cds, each as good as each other i especially like the fact there are 19 tracks to each cd which brings the total number of tracks to 38. The only downside could be that there were a few songs that i didnt recognise but have grown to like through various listens. An amazing compilation of tracks including information on various artists albums whose tracks are includded on the cd. I would definitely recoommend this album as it had enhanced some very nice emotions and created a very calmly atmosphere for either daytime or before you hit the hay. A stunning collection of today's finest singer songwriters!... Read review
