VA • Vol. 1 - The Ecstasy Of Goldː 23 Killer Bullets From The Spaghetti West

 

Review
by Gregory Heaney
Named for the iconic Ennio Morricone composition, The Ecstasy of Gold: 23 Killer Bullets from the Spaghetti West, Vol. 1 is the first installment in a five-volume set of some of the grooviest deep cuts to come from the European Western movie craze of the '60s and '70s. Filled with plenty of reverb-drenched guitars, wailing horns, and plaintive vocals, this collection is a must-listen for fans of the glorious melodrama of spaghetti Western scores.

Reseña
por Gregory Heaney
Llamado así por la icónica composición de Ennio Morricone, The Ecstasy of Gold: 23 Killer Bullets from the Spaghetti West, Vol. 1 es la primera entrega de un conjunto de cinco volúmenes con algunos de los temas más groovistas que surgieron de la moda de las películas del Oeste europeo de los años 60 y 70. Esta colección, llena de guitarras con reverberación, cuernos ululantes y voces lastimeras, es de obligada escucha para los aficionados al glorioso melodrama de las partituras del spaghetti western.
