As a full record, not just because there are a few good compositions.
My first thought when I read your post was: āOnce upon a time in the westā
I know, I know⦠this is not really a groundbreaking answer :ā>
But let me elaborate~
I bring that specific soundtrack up for two reasons.
Neither being ābecause I like the filmā
-
I actually started listening to this soundtrack before I ever saw the film.
This to me means that the music is strong enough to stand on its own, without having to lean on fond memories of the film experience to leave an impression. -
At noon everyday I take an hour walk with my dog Joe.
With many soundtracks, just like you said, I have a few compositions saved in different playlists.
But with this one, I start the first track and then just leave it to play through the entire soundtrack for the entire walk.
Itās so solid all the way through!
(that being said though its not my favorite SW soundtrack ^.~ but I do think its one of the best)
Great answer. Iāve listened dozens of SW soundtracks and most of them when Iām jogging or hiking. They are absolutely great for the great outdoors. Only soundtrack that Iām trying to avoid is Navajo Joe, because it stick to your head for months and months.
I just ordered my probably numder one Bruno Nicolai ā Anda Muchacho, Spara! (Dead Men Ride) (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack In Full Stereo)
It could be a tough competion between that one, and Morriconeās soundtracks for The Big Gundown, the three ādollar moviesā and Lavagninoās soundtracks for Requiem For A Gringo and Kill The Wicked! .
āGuns for San Sebastianā by Ennio Morricone is a great favorite - Lush, melancholy and exciting, and no irritating āfillersā as I recall.
Absolutely! The film itself is good, but the soundtrack is superlative!
