Product ReviewsOnce Upon a Time in the West (Original Soundtrack) by Once Upon a Time in the West / O.S.T. (CD, 1990)

The epitomy of yester year Spagetti Western Movie sound.

I agree with everything everybody else said
about this soundtrack but I would add that it also
deserves a high quality sound system. In my case
the omnidirectional speaker approach as executed
by Ohm Walsh or Mirage speakers and preferably an amplifier such as a classic NAD 2200, 2400, 2600a or 2700 of which I have two of. The bass tracks are the kind you only heard in the movie houses of the sixties or seventies, not boomy but tightly controlled with much expressive definition, the kind that sloooowly swells up and declares its majesty with class upon the orchestral stage, not abruptly like a 300 pound swine crashing off the vaudeville stage upon the clueless and indifferent rabble below. And the jaw dropping chorals that make you cry.....absolute nirvana.. and when the fat lady sings you imagine that she for those brief short moments suddenly fits into a size two dress...and you did not even have a drink that night...Read full review...

Once Upon A Time In The West - Soundtrack CD

I love the soundtrack to this old Western movie though I can't bring myself to play it all the time. It has great old school production values but there are just certain elements in the entire album that make it sound too bare or depressing at times to hear every day or every week. This album has some very bewitchingly dark instrumental tunes to accent some of the deeply somber killing and revenge that goes on in the film. In fact some of that darkness is unnerving like in the track Death Rattle which is mostly done with some pretty slow but building dissonant harmonica phrases that keep getting more slurred until we reach that final execution climax. There are also some not so dark tracks too like A Dimly Lit Room and Jill's America that remind us of the more living compassionate side of the world in this story. There is not a single synthesizer on this pretty old soundtrack.Read full review...

Best of the spaghetti westerns

Composed and conducted by Ennio Morricone, In 1969 for Sergio Leone's epic western to match all american western of the 1800's. Both men worked together on The good,the bad and the ugly, A fistful of dollars and For a few dollars more. This has the best score of the four movies. Ennio Morricone also composed the score for the Untouchables.
The CD has been digitally remastered so the sound is better than it ever was on other recordings.
I recomend anything by Ennio MorriconeRead full review...

KUDOS FOR MORRICONE

I've always loved the work of Ennio Morricone. He's written and recorded some of our most evocative soundtracks. This one is no exception. Thank you, Ennio.

Once Upon a Time in the West, By E. Morricone

This cd is an must for anyone that likes the music in the old "Spaghetti" westerns. What I liked the most about this particular Cd is the fact that the music on it is the original music that was heard on the movie, not a new remix done with sound synthezizers like many of the other E. Morricone cd's that I have bought in the past. That was the main reason whay I bought this particluar cd, there were others a few dollars cheaper, but this was the only one that was the original music. I recommend it to anyone that enjoys E. Morricone, or anyone that just likes the music in the old Clint Eastwood movies.Read full review...
