Yeah good you have started down the morricone road. Its a long one but the discoveries are almost limitless. If you like la casse you should pursue his crime scores, fear on the city, violent city, sicilian clan, le ruffian, corleone, grand slam, what else?? Also that kirk douglas one with the 11minute opening track with echo trumpet - come on someone, help me out, name on tip of my tongue...! Cheers, thanks Bill. I already know Violent City, Sicilian Clan, Un Uomo Da Rispettare and Corleone. I will listen to Le Ruffain, Grand Slam and is it Fear in the City? I couldnt find it on IMDB.

For me, 'Le Casse' pales in comparison to Morricone's other scores from the same period. The title theme is great, some tracks are good, but I don't care for the rather bland source music. Enjoyable, but not a major score by the Maestro. I have to agree. Only the title track is worth a jot, really. I got the LP back in the day, but never took to it. I think I might have played it right through three times in the last forty-odd years. For me, side two is just a few tracks of musak. Hi Les, I beg to disagree. Apart from the main theme, "Love Theme" is a very haunting track. Track 5 - The Girl with the Fringe might qualify as elevator music. But it is not by any means unremarkable. It is wonderful to listen to - very very romantic. The 8th track - Marinella was sampled by John Zorn. It is not a favorite of mine. The 9th track To Carlos S - is another remarkable tune and is not by any means filler. The 10th track - To Melachrino is amazing. It is a repetition of Love Theme with words. Sorry, I am not too good at describing the technical side of music like some people here. But try listening to these tracks once again. They are not simply filler. I swear you will not be disappointed. Okay, I'll give it another go, but the fact that I've only averaged listening to LE CASSE about once every thirteen years over the last four-and-a-bit decades doesn't bode well.
