SIMPLY STUNNING AND A TRUE MASTERPIECE FOR TRUE MUSIC LOVERS!

Lush, mellow and sexy as all get-out, this curious pairing of American producer Danger Mouse (he of Gnarls Barkley and Broken Bells) and Italian composer Daniele Luppi (he of Sex and the City) could have been tedious. But Mr. Mouse’s track record of mesmerizing collaborations — no matter how out-there the premise — remains peerless, as this tribute to iconic Italian film music drips with ’60s cool. The material is original; the project was five years in the making. But Ennio Morricone’s influence (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West) is robust. In order to replicate the retro sound, Danger Mouse and Luppi recorded as if it were 50 years ago, which means no computer trickery. They also brought in musicians who worked with Morricone on those classic spaghetti-Western scores. And to give it all a little commercial polish (but still retain that hip sheen), Jack White and Norah Jones were brought in to contribute vocals, each one steamier than the next. Jack White plays a sorta gunslinger, especially on The World, which sounds like dusty dueling music. And Jones is pure femme fatale, luring people into her tricky web on many scrumptious rides. This is a true masterpiece and I can already say it will be overlooked by many but trust me and get this one now!

Groovy is the 'new' Cool...

Obscure and groovy. You know that favorite uncle? The one with all the 'cool' album's? Well this sounds like something you would have found in his record collection...blow the dust off the LP, drop the needle, and enjoy the majestic ride!

The Modern Day Dark Side of the Moon

I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan as well as Danger Mouse (especially Broken Bells) and Jack White. This album can be listened to from start to finish easily, and it has a very distinct psychedelic rock influence. For these reasons, I was immediately reminded of Dark Side of the Moon. That is a huge accomplishment and compliment for these musicians by any standards.

Brian Burton, the man better known as artist/producer Danger Mouse, was born to a schoolteacher father and a social worker mother in White Plains, NY, but spent much of his childhood upstate in Spring Valley. When he was 13, his family moved to Stone Mountain, a suburb of Atlanta, where he was introduced to the hip-hop sounds of the South and Midwest.
