Cool Summer: The Musical Rediscoveries of 2020/2021

Every year it’s music. All day it’s music. All the time. And if it’s not then there’s a film on – and I’m usually noticing the music. Or it’s a podcast. Which has music. Or is an interview about music. When I’m reading it’s a music biography or it’s poetry – which has its own […]

Roberto Bravo: Tributo a Ennio Morricone

Roberto Bravo Tributo a Ennio Morricone JCM Discographica LTDA. The death of Ennio Morricone is still fresh, will resonate forever – he was one of the all-time greatest composers, conductors and arrangers for cinema and his works are so plentiful, so numerous that currently the old scores are being reissued and some are being released […]

R.I.P. Ennio Morricone

The great Ennio Morricone has died. He was 91. He was the greatest and most influential film composer of the 20th Century – his work carrying on into the 21st Century, which was when he was finally honoured with Academy awards – far too late. But Hollywood was somehow irrelevant to Morricone. He stayed in […]

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 […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 292 

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 794

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 […]
