Creative? "Brilliant"? "Genius"? Innovative?

OR...

Unmusical? "Wierd"? Experimental? Boring?





What is your opinion of EM?

Personally, I think his music is great... I have the soundtrack to "Once Upon A Time In The West" on my iRiver - it's that good!!



Anybody wanna comment?

Theme for Jill McBain is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. I love all that sound track.

Fistful of Dynamite is pretty good too,especially where it goes back in time to Ireland.

If you want to hear some excerpts:

What is Gabriel's Oboe? Film? Stand-alone music?

So"The Mission" is the name of the film and "Gabriel's Oboe" is a track from the film? Is that right? who starred in the film and what is it about? Is the soundtrack as good as the soundtrack from "once upon a time in the west" does anyone think?

I have the piano music - it came as a 2 piece, an accompaniment and also the piano version - got it from here:

http://www.musicroom.com/Search/gsearch.as...el's+oboe++

it is so beautiful - a friend of mine plays it on the flute and has played it at a few weddings / funerals. Bet there wouldn't be too many dry eyes at either!

Unfortunately I can't quite capture the atmosphere of the whole thing on my piano in my living room, but it is jolly nice to play all the same.

Also, I have never seen the movie, so I have no idea if it's worth watching or not!
