TOD:
I didn't get into westerns until ridiculously late in life, like, within the past five years. The exploration has been fun and immensely satisfying, and I know I've been hearing some great film music, but that isn't something I've mentally catalogued for myself as of yet. The Morricone scores, of course, are unique and wonderful, but could I rattle off favorite "regular" westerns scores? No, not at this point.
I was sort of thinking about this last night as I sampled the new MAJOR DUNDEE release. I've never seen the movie, and in just checking out the disc by hitting the chapter button a few times, it was obvious what a different tone each of its scores brings to the film. I have no idea how I'll feel about either of them once I've watched both versions, but I look forward to the discovery.
