Amazon.com Finally, the listening public is treated to a Morricone compilation that focuses on his more daring, outre, and lesser known score music. Nothing against his better-known spaghetti western soundtrack work; there is a reason after all that stuff is so well known, because it's fantastic and wholly original. But did you know the dude scored more films than any other composer (over 500), that his discography is twice that of Sun Ra, that he made amazing psychedelia and crazy funk and subtle experimental music? Assembled by the brilliant musician/ musical curator Alan Bishop for Mike Patton's Ipecac label with liner notes by John Zorn, the aptly titled Crime and Dissonance is culled from extremely rare releases from the early ?70s. It's strange stuff, but very enjoyable and easily among the finest and most necessary reissues of the entire year. --Mike McGonigal Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA Dark Journey into the Underbelly of Soundtracks G. BurnSilver | Northern Colorado | 12/12/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Soundtrack fans-and you know who you are-have long recognized Ennio Morricone as on of the most eclectic and versatile of all film scorers. Having worked on over 500 films, his work has ranged from spaghetti westerns featuring Clint Eastwood to films from Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino and Roman Polanski. The secret to Morricone's longevity is his ability to convey the emotion of a scene-and perhaps even accentuate it-with music. That said, the films represented here must be on the unusual side and certainly independent releases. Many of these recordings were done over 30 years ago and yet in another Morricone trademark, hold up nicely. There are dark jazz numbers, wild Indian sitar forays, trips into psychedelia, "epic" orchestral pieces, striped down minimalism, heavy breathing, guitar feedback sequences, haunting pianos and what could only be called demented clown music. Arranged by master musician of the macabre Mike Patton, the double disc set is generally a dark journey into the underbelly of soundtracks far removed from mainstream commercialism. In fact, Crime and Dissonance is perfect for late-night highway jaunts and Halloween background music." Essential Morricone Aaron | Chicago, Illinois USA | 12/20/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Crime and Dissonance is by far the best collection of Ennio Morricone's film music on the market. Primarily, because it focuses exclusively on a phase of Morricone's career that's largely been ignored (until now). This 2 disc collection contains some of Morricone's most startling, dark, spooky and adventurous music. Composed largely for obscure Italian horror movies and crime dramas, the music contained here is quite innovative for its time. Filled with almost avant jazz and psychedelic sounds, this is a great listen. The excellent tracklisting ignores chronology in favor of a thematic flow, and it works. This two disc set along with one of the many fine Morricone Western score collections is essential for any good music library. The man was far more than just a film composer, as this disc proves. Excellent." Challenging work from a master james dwyer | ann arbor, michigan United States | 08/18/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Ennio Morricone is a true musical genius, most widely known for his work for Sergio Leone's "spaghetti westerns" but the breadth of his work is far reaching. Often incorporating twentieth century compositional techniques and challenging vocal arrangements. This collection deserves a full five stars, not the paltry and ungenerous three. Branch out into the unsettling with a true master."
