Opening with the intense bass and drum of "Cat O Nine Tails", you quickly realize you are dealing with a collection that beckons full attention. The music here runs the gamut of emotions like all of Morricones best. Each piece here merits investigation. Every song is like a microcosm of sounds and melodies. They also have nice humor; such as the Fu'r Elise bit thrown in the middle of The Devil In The Brain. This collection includes a few never before released tracks too. Usual fantastic DRG packaging with exstensive liner notes.
