I'm talking about THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY!, Morricone redefined the sound of Westerns with this and the 'Dollars' films, If there's anyone here who's never heard this (is that possible?), do yourself a favour and pick this up and find out what true genius means!

Hi,

I'm on a small Morricone kick myself. I recently got the LP transfer for 'Days of Heaven' which contain the cues left out from the CD release. After playing it, I just had to listen to 'Two Mules for Sister Sara'. I was even playing 'Butterfly' earlier today.

I remember some discussion on 'Malena' and Andre saying 'Vatel' was better so I decided to get both and am awaiting its arrival.

I don't have 'The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly' but do recall some of the cues from the film. Unfortunately, I've never understood the fascination for the 'Aliens' score - be it ost, expanded, complete, or deluxe.

Regards,
Rochelle

Rochelle, how much music was left off of the Days Of Heaven CD? Anything significant?
BTW, I love Butterfly... A great melancholy score. I even like the song sung by Pia Zadora. Very haunting.

Hi,

The CD release (Legend) contains 9 cues with a total of 26:17 mins.
Harvest
Threshing
Happiness
The Honeymoon
The Return
The Chase
The Fire
Ashes and Dust
Days of Heaven

The LP transfer (36:25) has the above plus:
The Aquariam
We Used to Do Things
Enderlin
Swamp Dance

'The Aquariam' is so prevalent in the film it should not have been left off the CD (or any of it for that matter). It is the piece of score with 'tingling bells' and subtle string orchestration. Beautiful.

'We Used to do Things' is small piece of narration (Linda) taken from the film. It fits in rather well with the tone of the score.

'Enderlin' is centered on the acoustic guitar with Southern overtones.

Staying with the Southern theme...'Swamp Dance' brings the violin to attention and is more a song than score.

I guess they felt the Southern tones detracted from the overall stylistic structure when coupling 'Days of Heaven' with 'Two Mules for Sister Sara'. That doesn't excuse the omission of 'The Aquariam' and 'We Used to do Things' from the CD though.

Pia Zadora - what ever happened to her?

Regards,
Rochelle

Mono can be pretty annoying when using headphones, because then the difference is more than apparent. Better than nothing of course, though, and I'm still extremely happy about the original Captain Blood tracks, even though they clearly have 1935-sound.
