The movie is very hard to find. I admit that I used my VPN and found it on a torrent site.
True, nothing about Nicolai at all. I believe it's because during the western era, Morricone had a falling out with Nicolai, and Ennio accused him of plagiarism. And I can understand that since I...
The voice of my youth, and the voice of Los Angeles. There will never be another like him. I predict a movie will come, I just hope they do it right. RIP
Ennio-The Maestro is a great film IMO. Over two hours long, all Italian audio with English sub-titles. Covers his entire life. Interviews with many people he worked with over the years, some that are...
^^^^ Ok if we must detail. The term referred to the first U.S. TV kiss between an African-American and a Caucasian American. And in 1966 that was a big deal! Please let Nichelle rest.
Nichelle Nichols, Lieutenant Nyota Uhura from the original Star Trek series and movies that followed, has passed at 89 of natural causes. She was a great actress, and is most famous for the first...
Here's a band I forgot about. Tarnation with the fabulous singer/songwriter Paula Frazier. They have been around since the middle 90's. I can only describe them as alternate country / spaghetti /...
I'm happy to see my thread come to life again. Thanks to all for your suggestions. Well my favorite "Spaghetti" band Federale finally put out a covers album, and of course they came up with an...
Wow, I've been a fan of Goblin since the 1970's. When the 1st ever U.S. tour was announced in 2013 I grabbed a ticket for the show at the legendary Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. I got to the venue...
Maybe The Future Bites didn't bring in the $$$ as expected? He was also losing his fan base. Just saying ;)
Been listening to the 10 tracks (3 bonus) as a whole at least 4 times now and I'm fairly impressed. Nothing groundbreaking here, but still IMO it's better than The Incident, and more reminiscent of...
Jon is a wonderous soul. His positive light will always shine. Bless him :good
It's so sweet to me to see that their love is as strong as ever, and that it has not diminished as they both march forward into old age. And Robert was always thought of as a grumpy bastard unit...
He really achieved the difficult task of filling Bill Bruford's shoes beautifully, and didn't plagiarize his chops. Saw him with YES 6 times and he was always impressive. The bombastic opening of...
Yes (no pun), that is exactly what it was. Good call.
A good friend and I attended the June 1975 YES concert at the Hollywood Bowl. The music on the PA prior to the show caught our ears. It was very spacey and celestial, and we never heard it before. We...
Thanks, as I'm a certified tronoholic. Thankfully no rehab and no cure!
I'd also consider Musical Box and Fountain of Salmacis. No lightweight Turn it On Again or Illegal Alien garbage here!:yell
Wow, very nice! I prefer using this PE forum for insight and my own comments on all things prog. However I've used PA for years for its reviews. And I have been very grateful for them, as they have...
I'm thrilled that one of my favorite obscure prog bands from the 1980's, The Fibonaccis, have released two new albums of unreleased material on Bandcamp. Here are links to both, and liner notes from...
Two anti Vietnam War classics

Wow! I'm very fortunate to have witnessed seeing in concert the original line-up three times. And IMO this album was the high-point. A very underrated classic of the psychedelic music genre. And...
I prefer the early efforts of TD. The original band ethos was creating LSD induced electronic improvs using the most modern keyboards of the time, and the surreal symphonic soundscapes they created...
There are many, but these three came to mind instantly:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xatp8PjzGc I always liked when prog does the classics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YffXmapUaj0 ...
Sad news indeed. As you get older, like me, you start to loose family, friends and your heroes of movies, TV and music. Ian McDonald really kicks in the reality of mortality. When Greg Lake died, my...
Fairport Convention - Liege and Lief, a timeless uncanny classic, and an early merging of acoustic traditional folk with electric instruments. IMO it is Fairport's and Sandy Denny's career highpoint....
Not surprised there's no prog acts included. If I have insomnia, I'll watch the show.:down
As soon as I heard Phil's playing on 1973's Genesis Live, I knew he was a great drummer. Good video, but I beg to differ with the presenter about one thing. He claims that in Phil's early days there...
It's really great for her that because of her blindness, her brain has trained her to audio perfection. It's stunning to me that she's such a great keyboardist, but also that she can play just about...
Cut to the chase: October of 1969. I'm 15 yrs old, still living with Mom. A friend calls to tell me of an unbelievable new album and asks if he can come to my place and play it for me? SPOILER: He...
Thank you to Mr. William Bruford: Percussives. A true living prog/jazz legend. I think it's cool that he's sharing some rare video for his fans. And I'm certain that there will be more music...
Here it is on You Tube...f'n awesome!

This is the set list for Genesis in Boston, Dec. 15, 2021. No butchering huh? Cinema Show 3:09, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 3:18, Firth of Fifth 4:42, Dancing With The Moonlit Knight 1:00. C'mon...
IMO it sounds much better with mellotron. And did Tony Banks use a tron on the recent Genesis tour? I highly doubt it. And I hear that they butchered the old songs like they did in 2007. Thank God...
Renaissance and Gentle Giant-Shrine Auditorium Los Angeles, 1977.
Gentle Giant and Harvey Mandle-Whisky A Go Go, Hollywood 1974.
Jeff Beck Group and Foghat-Hollywood Palladium 1972
California Jam...
I chimed in on this subject once already, but I forgot the most major disappointment. In fact, to me it was mentally devastating. The late great film composer Ennio Morricone was scheduled to play...
Well I'm certain she skipped the current Genesis tour. ;)
Three come to mind immediately:
Led Zeppelin-must of been 1973 or 74? I think the venue was in Long Beach California. The performance was so bad that I still remember it. The band was highly...
Notable absent songs: In The Wake Of Poseidon, I Talk To The Wind, Lament, Groon, The Great Deceiver. There are more but those are ones I hoped to experience live. But it's ok, as I never dreamed...
I've enjoyed listening to the new PT track 'Harrigan' every few days and find it lives up to the band's name. I also have revisited listening to some of my favorite songs of the past from the band....
I've been saddened by many prog icons passing lately. But they were generally older then me and everyone's mortality eventually catches up to them. But David's passing is a great shock and a jolt. He...
I was never impressed by his drumming, yet he was the perfect fit for the legendary band. And yes, his spoken words were part of the Moodies magic. From 1967 to 1972 the Moody Blues were at the top...
Not a bad pop song considering all of the garbage out there today. But I prefer his prog efforts with the Phideaux band. None the less, Mr. Xavier is a highly talented man. I wish he would release...
I will never forget seeing Brand-X at The Roxy Theater in Hollywood, Ca. Morris Pert (also RIP) and Phil (with hair!) were there, so it was the classic line-up. Unbelievable show! Godspeed john...
How about the U.S. west coast? That's always been never never land for VDGG. I would kill to see them! Even without Jackson. Wish I could afford to fly to Europe. That's a bucket list pipe dream that...
Went to every show from 2005 to 2010 when they came to Los Angeles. Seeing them live was ALWAYS a fantastic and money worthy experience. And this track sounds great! I'm certain without a doubt that...
I posted this on another thread. Not songs, but artists with tracks that are perfect for haunting Halloween music. Dark, gloomy, and mellotronic. You can't go wrong:
All Traps On Earth
King...
I saw the film Mysterious Island on the big screen as a youngster, and was blown away by the film and this dark score. This and Psycho are my favorites.
...
Nice...at least the audio is very good. Thanks!
Yes, Morricone's catalogue is vast. I know he did many Giallo scores(Italian Horror Films), but I am no expert on which ones are best, or any particular tracks. Maybe Udi Koomran can help with this...
I also love these to death:bad:

I always create a Halloween playlist every year and use tracks from mostly dark symphonic and soundtrack prog. In fact I was already thinking about making my 2021 playlist. And yes I do use many...
Thanks Udi! This is some great music, and EM'S influence is all over it. I think that as time marches forward there will be many more artists emerging that will bear the mark of the great maestro. In...
Well Dave you were correct. NO Morricone music in the film. I watched Cry Macho last night and it's awful! Poor acting, a non-original script and poor old Clint who still thinks he's 35. It's...
Oh no it wasn't. My question is will EM's music actually be in the film, or just the trailer?
??????????

I think Clint Eastwood has taken a cue from Quentin Tarantino. I just watched the trailer to his new modern western Cry Macho and immediately recognized music from Ennio Morricone's score to The...
Great band however without Mauro Pagani, Flavio Premoli and Franco Mussida for me the magic is gone. :geezer
I like their middle period the best, starting with Variations On A Dream through What We Have Sown. Alternate, psychedelic and very Prog, with longer songs, a darker tone, psychotic lyrics and more...
