An early soundtrack by Ennio Morricone – and one that's got a style that's much more mod and swinging than some of his later work! There's a heavily percussive approach to the set – and the tunes often have Latin-styled rhythms that dance and leap around nicely, touched by twangy guitar lines, horn passages, and some especially nice wordless chorus vocals – singing along with the tunes in kind of a "yeh yeh" mode! Despite the groovy swing, Morricone still keeps things complicated enough to please our ears – and mixes in some nice darkness with the light, in a way that fleshes out the sound without getting too cerebral.
