Check out this intro from Muse's Knights of Cydonia (the harmonica theme from Once Upon A Time In The West) it just fits perfectly with the song and that crowd interaction...wow.
No one is going to get pumped up for soccer here but since 2011 Muse-Hysteria has been the opening song they announce the starting eleven for SKC. But at Childrens Mercy Park it is a loud scene for sure. [Reply]
Thanks for that. I was expecting they would use the movie score like Metallica did with ecstacy of gold which was badass but actually playing it to open was very nice.
Morricone - Sergio Leone pairing is also some of the best stuff ther is. Have you dug deeper and see Fistful of Dynomite? I still haven’t myself but keep meaning to. [Reply]

It's kind of weird the disparity between how much I've listened to Morricone/Leone soundtracks and how many of the actual films I've sat down and watched.
I've watched Once Upon a Time in America dozens of times, Once Upon a Time in the West twice I think, and 'the trilogy' once each, but beyond that I just never got around to boning up on that particular corner of cinema.
But I have dozens of the soundtracks, and have spent hours relaxing with them on the HiFi. I enjoy Morricone as much as Bach or Beethoven [though not as much as Tchaikovsky or Mussourgsky]. [Reply]
