Ennio Morricone has always been a favorite of mine. He had managed to capture this western sound of final retribution, showdown,etc I do not believe the world was truly ready for in a film soundtrack to compliment the visualizations that Sergio Leone had conveyed. This was not the sound of prancing off in the American Sunset. This was the sound of you are in the American Sunset and it was a very dangerous, and unsettling world that existed.
War in the here and now, nonsense in the here and now.
