Ennio Morricone is someone I will alwaypick up for cheap
Soundtracks usually bore me but ever since hearing his stuff on the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns and then his brilliant work on Almodovar’s Átame, I always pick him up
A few years ago I was reading Bernard Sumner’s autobiography where he goes on about how much Ennio’s work meant to him - I had never realized Blue Monday was influenced by Ennio but now I can’t not hear it… then I was reading that autobiography by one of the Pogues and he goes on about in their early days they would drive around listening to Ennio’s soundtrack all tour long..
Anyways I put this on and I swear to god New Order’s Elegía definitely got something from the music to the title song (sung by Baez)…really reminds me of it
I paid $3 but note old $0.99 sticker from 6-14 and based on typesetting fairly confident this was purchased from the dollar bin at Som Records on 14th Street… I don’t get out there much but when I lived off of 14th those dollar bins where the best in town..not even close…made me regret moving
