Review: Rome by Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi
Tuesday, May 17, 2011 at 10:07PM | RyanSilb I never thought I would be the kind of person to have a favorite music producer, but Danger Mouse is that kind of person. From Cee-Lo Green to The Black Keys, Danger Mouse brings out, new sides of the artists he works with, and I have yet to be disappointed with one of his projects.
And so Rome become my most anticipated album of the year, as it combines many things I like, Danger Mouse, Jack White, and Ennio Morricone into one slick package. The project is an extended tribute to Morricone, who is basically the Godfather of modern film scores, influencing not only Danger Mouse, but Hans Zimmer, Quentin Tarantino, Muse, and others. The album was recorded using vintage equipment and as well as featuring musicians who recorded spaghetti western soundtracks, it also features a reunited Cantori Moderni, the choir put together byAlessandro Alessandroni, featured in many of Morricone's scores.
In reviewing an album, movie, or book, I try to review not only my own opinion, but what the intent of the work seems to be and how that compares to the final project. Rome seems to be a work of preservation, collecting the original artists that made Morricone's distinct style possible for one last gig.
By that token, this is a very successful project, and the addition of the vocals of Jack White and Nora Jones adds a layer of distinctness all it's own. Some may see the individual tracks as not particularly interesting, but that makes sense given that this album is structured as a film score. It is really meant to back up a film, and serves it's purpose as such. This sometimes may leave it feeling lacking imagery, but I still really enjoy the music standalone.
Danger Mouse is a good fit for Morricone's style because both operate in layers of texture, and this does manage to live up to the hype as a spaghetti western as scored by him, as there are notes of his work with The Black Keys, Beck, and James Mercer that float through.
