The Vinyl Countdown # 228
Ennio Morricone, Chi Mai (1981) Here’s the thing with being a dirty, rotten, grubby record-collector, particularly one that sets absurd life-goals like finding everything or at the least anything by Ennio Morricone – you are gonna go into a lot of junk-stores and leave with nothing but a lingering trace of your own shame-spiral. You […]Archive

Ennio Morricone, Un Uoma Da Rispettare [OST] (1972) Having followed whatever I can find by Ennio Morricone across the last two decades I’m now at a place where if I see something – I buy it. Even if I haven’t heard it. So it was with this, recently. It made me actuall watch the film – in English it’s called The Master Touch. And it’s not […]Archive

The Maestro Morricone: Sixty Years of Glorious Music-Making
I can’t be sure when I first heard the music of Ennio Morricone – it’s possible that I was hearing his film scores without realising who he was. That’s very possible given the hundreds of movies he’s scored. But at some point the name started to resonate – it was referenced. Bands that I listened […]Archive

Tour Diary: # 3 – Past The Mission – I Don’t Believe I Went Too Far…
Chinatown lured us back with its promise of cheap shit. Even some Lip Shit. Passed on that. But we did buy some of the I HEART SAN FRANCISCO-type memorabilia; you can justify it when you’re disguising it as a kid’s t-shirt purchase. We also went to the Eastern Bakery for something called a butter and […]Archive

V/A: Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight [OST]
Various Artists: Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight [OST] Verve Even when I have been less enamoured with the finished film product I’ve still been impressed with the soundtracks from Quentin Tarantino films – as it happens I rather loved The Hateful Eight – but waited to hear its soundtrack for the first time up on […]Archive

Ennio Morricone, The Mission [OST] (1986) I’ve picked up a couple of nice Ennio Morricone scores recently – Il Vizieto and Cinema Paradiso – but this was the one I was after…have seen it about on vinyl before, but now I’ve got it. I had the CD – and in fact it was the music […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 805
Ennio Morricone, Cinema Paradiso [OST] (1989) I love this music. I have never seen the film. I must fix that. Been meaning to for a while. I think about it often actually – obviously shortly after first hearing this soundtrack. Then again, a few years back now, when visiting Wanaka’s pretty cool Cinema Paradiso movie […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 1091
Ennio Morricone, Il Vizietto (La Cage aux Folles) [OST] (1978) I can remember – back about nearly-20 years ago now – a mate of mine was in some semi-regular correspondence with one of the guys that had played guitar for Faith No More – this guy was also the guitarist in Mr. Bungle. My mate […]Archive

Sebastien Tellier: Confection
Sebastien Tellier Confection Record Makers If you know Sebastien Tellier’s music you probably know him for his brilliantly layered, butch disco music; a sort of drunk-slick soul-sleaze set of electro-inspired pop tunes, and he’s all Warren Ellis-impersonating-Serge Gainsbourg, or a mountain-man down to tinkle the ivories and sip some brandies while he raises hemlines with […]Archive
