The Hateful Eight soundtrack review — tarantino.info

To many, including myself, Ennio Morricone is the best composer of film music… in the world. His music to world famous spaghetti westerns (such as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly) is just as unique and legendary as his scores for movies like The Untouchables, Once Upon A Time in America or The Mission. Every true cineast is a fan of his music. Among them Quentin Tarantino, whose soundtracks have included his music on several occasions, often in unexpected contexts.
