Ennio Morricone-

LA GABBIA-OST-

NEW CD

The sexy image on the cover kind of gives this one away - as the record's got a slinky, erotic vibe that's quite different than some of Ennio Morricone's other material of the time! There's a bit more electronics here than you might expect from the maestro - including a few electric rhythms at times, which are mixed with acoustic instrumentation on piano or trumpet on some of the best moments - but also give way to some completely electronic passages at others.

But there's also lots of all-acoustic cuts, with a really haunting feel - and a few moments get very spare, moody, and acoustic - in that key Morricone style of the 70s.

Titles include "Cadenze", "Laura", "Prigioniero", "Improvviso", "Solo", and "Il Ritorno".
