Maximum-strength Morricone

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As there have been a number of different CD editions of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West," let's get the basics straight: the title as it appears on the digipack is: IL ETAIT UNE FOIS DANS L'OUEST; the cover bears a photo of a man hung from a stone arch against a blue sky; the label is BMG France/RCA Victor Gold Series (the disc is not gold). The remastered sound is smooth and detailed, making the American CD seem harsh and sterile by comparison. This 1968 score includes brief but extremely powerful use of distorted electric guitar, providing a dramatic contrast to the romantic orchestral passages and weirdly homespun banjo interludes. Notes on the previously unreleased tracks are in French, while the original 1972 LP sleeve notes appear in English. While the booklet and packaging are not particularly elaborate, the improved sound and track sequence make this reissue an essential upgrade."
