The Untouchables – music by Ennio Morricone

I have to admit, I don’t like Kevin Costner in too many movies, but this is one of my two favorites of his (the other being JFK), and I like the music too, in a weird sort of way. In places, this soundtrack seems so sampled, I don’t know if it’s real instruments or synthesizers, yet in other places – such as my favorite tracks, “Death Theme” and “Four Friends” with their common saxophone part – the music is authentically organic. Overall, a fair album, though the two tracks above make it worth your while.
