Indagine Su Un Cittadino Al Di Sopra Di Ogni Sospetto
Special Price, limited stock. Stunningly beautiful work from Ennio Morricone – a haunting set of themes played on vibes, off-key piano, plucked strings, and some very odd-sounding instrument that keeps going "boing!" The music has that dreamy, lilting, minimally melodic style that makes so many other Morricone scores from this time so great – with the sort of downturning chord progressions that you'll also find in other classics like La Donna Invisible or The Burglars. The overall sound is amazi…
