        An enjoyable but not weighty tribute to Italian movies of the '60s and '70s
        2011 | Label: CAPITOL

        An exercise in nostalgia and high concept from Danger Mouse (Brian Burton), Jack White, Norah Jones and Italian soundtrack composer and producer Danielle Luppi. Rome is a re-imaging of the experience of hearing music from Italian movies of the ’60s and ’70s, the epoch of Ennio Morricone, Nino Rota and others. Burton and Luppi put the tracks together and enhanced the core group with Italian studio stalwarts like Luciano Ciccaglione (guitar) and Dario Roscaglione (bass). White’s and Jones’s voices are a tell-tale modern signature, but the authenticity of the sound is there; liquid plate effects, smooth voice, strings and bass combinations, high class Mid-Atlantic discotheque tunes. Morricone is the grandest influence, and Rome is a worthy tribute to his evocative tunefulness, but Burton and Luppi can’t match that master’s (and especially Rota’s) balance of sophisticated expression via naïve music, especially with their lyrics. It’s enjoyable, not weighty.

        The eMusic reviewer says it's enjoyable, not "weighty," but hear the two Norah Jones tracks a couple of times and they will take over your soul, lock, stock, and barrel. There's something both loosey-goosey and solemnly serious about these tracks, rather like the spaghetti westerns themselves. Well worth your time and money, in my book.

        Six Degrees of Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die

        By Michaelangelo Matos, eMusic Contributor

        It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »
