Finally, the listening public is treated to a Morricone compilation that focuses on his more daring, outre, and lesser known score music. Nothing against his better-known spaghetti western soundtrack work; there is a reason after all that stuff is so well known, because it's fantastic and wholly original. But did you know the dude scored more films than any other composer (over 500), that his discography is twice that of Sun Ra, that he made amazing psychedelia and crazy funk and subtle experimental music? Assembled by the brilliant musician/ musical curator Alan Bishop for Mike Patton's Ipecac label with liner notes by John Zorn, the aptly titled Crime and Dissonance is culled from extremely rare releases from the early `70s. It's strange stuff, but very enjoyable and easily among the finest and most necessary reissues of the entire year. --Mike McGonigal

2 out of 5 stars What's Essential About This?.......2007-04-21

A sticker on the jewel case proclaims Crime and Dissonance "an absolutely essential Morriconography". A couple of listens had me wondering what is so essential about this? Unfortunately, essential is an abused term when it comes to describing music. This might be said to be essential if you are a Morricone completeist, but when you compare the quality of the music here with that of some of his other compositions, you'll find that Crime and Dissonance is rather easily dispensible.
Is the music here unusual? Quite. But the question must be asked why anyone would sit around and just listen to it. This stuff belongs in a movie. Unlike many other Morricone compositions, the pieces here do not fit with any kind of mood you might have except that generated while you are watching a film.
I know a lot of folks with broad musical tastes, but I don't know of anyone who would listen to this CD just for pleasure or even for background music unless one was operating a commercial haunted house or having some kind of themed party. There's too much other better Morricone music out there!
I like Ennio Morricone and I am sure these pieces fit in the contexts for which they were intended, but I could have gone on quite happily without ever having heard Crime and Dissonance.

3 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons.........2006-03-10

Pros:
Ennio Morricone was a terrific experimental composer. This music is Wierd.

Cons:
Kind of wierd combination of songs.. a lot of them don't feel like they should be on the same album.

1 out of 5 stars Love Morricone, hate this collection.......2006-01-08

It's as if they took the most obnoxious parts they could find, and memorialized them.

Morricone is the master. But this collection misrepresents his genius.

I guess the Dissonance part in the title excuses all.

5 out of 5 stars Essential Morricone.......2005-12-20

Crime and Dissonance is by far the best collection of Ennio Morricone's film music on the market. Primarily, because it focuses exclusively on a phase of Morricone's career that's largely been ignored (until now). This 2 disc collection contains some of Morricone's most startling, dark, spooky and adventurous music. Composed largely for obscure Italian horror movies and crime dramas, the music contained here is quite innovative for its time. Filled with almost avant jazz and psychedelic sounds, this is a great listen. The excellent tracklisting ignores chronology in favor of a thematic flow, and it works. This two disc set along with one of the many fine Morricone Western score collections is essential for any good music library. The man was far more than just a film composer, as this disc proves. Excellent.

2 out of 5 stars Another Morriconne Collection.......2005-12-14

This compilation is gifted with lush photographs that depict the films they represent. However, not only are there far more vibrant Morriconne compilations available but the majority of these "rare" tracks already exist on other compilations. I love and treasure anything by Morriconne but, this compilation seems inappropriate especially with the Thriller Collection available (which mirrors this compilation in selections and tone). Out of the Argento/Morriconne collection, main titles compilations, and miscellaneous other soundtracks this one ranks among Wolf at a groveling beautiful suspensful mediocrity. But, when mediocore is written in the same sentence as Morriconne; one can only expect it to be the most heavenly kind of medicore.

4 out of 5 stars The best chill and erotica box set ever!!!.......2005-03-16

I must agree with the previous writer; this CD set contains CDS-200 copy protection which requires you to install a program on your cpu to play highly compressed versions of the songs that sound like garbage! If one pays for the cd, then why can they not copy it to his player of choice? The music industry is totally going about combatting music piracy the wrong way! Maybe they should lower CD prices to compete with piracy, but then they would lose their huge profits. We all know that the musicians see little of that money anyway.

Enough of my ranting... this boxset is absolutely amazing! Forget about Morricone's spaghetti western music... this is where it is! The first disc is my absolute favorite, then followed by the third. His unique arrangements are comparable to no one. Although, the lounge revival is long past us, this music is timeless and will leave you begging for more.

Check out the soundtracks to Le Casse, Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion, and La Donna Invisible.

5 out of 5 stars Great Box Set but has Copy Protection!.......2004-09-22

Ennio Morricone is the master of Italian soundtracks. Listening to these gems transports you inside the movies! This is a great box set especially at the price being offered by Amazon. This same box set goes for $50 and more at other sites. But there's something very ugly lurking in this box set: It has the Macrovision CDS-200 copy protection. Which means people who enjoy taking their music with them on portable devices will have lots of Internet searching to do to find out how to rip these 3 wonderful CDs! Shame on Amazon for not pointing this out in their description. Other internet sites that sell this box set, do disclaim that it has copy protection. Macrovision has supposedly released a CDS-300 version of their copy protection, but there is no news regarding whether this box set will be re-released with the newer copy protection. The new version does allow you to rip it for personal use.

You can get around it, I won't tell you how, but you can! No, I'm not a pirate, I own over 800 CDs that I've purchased all legally, I don't trade my mp3s, but I like to take my music with me.

It's a shame that people like me that do purchase CDs instead of downloading the crap that's out there have to pay the price.

Sincerely,

Frank Castro

5 out of 5 stars Mucho Maestro.......2004-06-10

I'm not sure which is more amazing--the sheer overwhelming volume of films Ennio Morricone has scored over the years, or the fact that he has produced so much beautiful music in the service of so many obscure, second-rate and otherwise forgettable ones. There is a generous sampling of the latter on display in this 3-disc set, culled from late-sixties and early-seventies films whose titles even the most hardcore of movie--or Morricone--fans would be hard-pressed to recognize. And yet, as always, the variety, the quality and the beauty of the music is unsurpassed. This is a compilation for the Morricone collector who thinks he's heard it all before--there is very little of the overlap or duplication found in so many of the other compilations of this great artist's work. All of which gives the music a fresh, vibrant quality while remaining unmistakably, inimitably Morricone. Cool packaging too.
