''Crime and Dissonance'' is a 2005 compilation album of Italian composer Ennio Morricone's film score work. Intended as a follow-up to two earlier Morricone compilations assembled by Dagored, the album was put together by Alan Bishop and released by Ipecac Recordings. ''Crime and Dissonance'' features work ranging from the later 1960s to the early 1980s, and contains scores taken from films of several different genres. The collection focuses on Morricone's lesser-known soundtrack work, with Ipecac founder Mike Patton consciously wishing to distance it from similar compilations. Released on October 18, 2005, ''Crime and Dissonance'' has been met with favorable reviews by critics. The album has attracted comments on Morricone's experimental and innovative compositional style, often in contrast to the spare-sounding westerns he is known for. ==Production== ''Crime and Dissonance'', a collection of Ennio Morricone's film scores from the 1970s, was conceived as a follow-up to Dagored releases ''Morricone 2000'' and ''Morricone 2001''.〔 However, that label abandoned the project, and Mike Patton of Ipecac Recordings decided to release it instead. Morricone had no input in the project; instead the track listing was assembled by Alan Bishop.〔 Bishop had previously assembled the ''Morricone 2000'' and ''Morricone 2001'' collections as well. All three compilations cover a roughly coterminous time period, spanning the late 1960s to the early 1980s, but concentrating primarily on the early 1970s.〔 Bishop had been given a list of films whose scores were available to use in the collection; he set about compiling the two-disc set from there. However, the final song on the album, an eleven-minute section from the soundtrack to ''Un uomo da rispettare'', was not included in the list of available material. The project was delayed for some time while Bishop waited for record label Sugar Music to license the song. Patton, founder of Ipecac Recordings, has described his admiration for Morricone's writing, feeling that the composer turned "what could be banal, surface-style pop into really deep, orchestrated, tense and compelling music". Patton considers Morricone to be one of his favorite composers, and wanted the compilation to serve as a fitting tribute. He felt it was "imperative" for ''Crime and Dissonance'' to focus on Morricone's lesser-known work, as it had to compete with a large back catalogue of similar compilations.〔 To this end, Patton and Bishop focused on Morricone's more experimental work, which Patton has compared to the music of Brazilian tropicália group Os Mutantes. Patton has praised Bishop's work on the project, calling him "a big Morricone scholar", and has described ''Crime and Dissonance'' as one the Ipecac releases he is most proud of. ''Crime and Dissonance'' features liner notes written by composer John Zorn, who had previously reinterpreted Morricone's work on the album ''The Big Gundown''.〔 The album's title reflects the range of genres covered by the films whose scores have been included,〔 with the collection gathering music from "horror, suspense, mafia, and period movies", including several pieces taken from Dario Argento's giallo film ''L'uccello dalle piume di cristallo''.〔 However, the album itself only lists the titles of the films, omitting the context in which the music was originally presented and leaving the compositions to "speak for themselves".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crime and Dissonance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
