Customer Reviews

The greatest soundtrack of all time!!!
If I had to pick a favorite soundtrack, this would be it. It is haunting & unforgettable, and is the crowning achievement of the legendary composer Ennio Morricone. I never get tired of listening to this fabulous cd, & this newly remastered edition sounds better than ever! Not only do you get the 15 tracks from the original soundtrack, but also 4 previously unreleased tracks. Over an hour of heavenly music! If you're a fan of "Once Upon a Time in America" make sure to get the 2-disc special edition dvd along with this great album.

The American Experience Encapsulated
For more than twenty years now, I've been listening to this haunting music and it has never dulled. Revisiting it now, in my forties, I find it overwhelmingly sad....tracks #2 "Poverty" and #3 "Deborah's Theme" crystallize what I think is the theme of the movie: how a group of young people coming of age just when the country itself is coming into its own can, like the leadership of the country, make choices that impact the rest of their lives. Can they....can the country...find redemption? Like great fiction, and, many would say, like the movie, it has different meanings as you listen to it at different stages in your own life. I call that music for the ages. This one will be regarding as a classic long after my generation has left the earth.

Timeless
You will not go wrong with this album. Every track is a masterpiece. If you loved the movie, you must have the accompanying soundtrack. I've had it for 15 years and when the mood strikes, there is nothing like it. Now, this version also comes with a few unreleased tracks. You can't lose!
