AMG Review of Burn
Richie Unterberger
All Music GuideAn unusual soundtrack for an unusual film, which starred Marlon Brando as a colonialist who alternately incites and suppresses rebellion. It's also unusual within the Morricone canon, evoking considerably tenser and fiercer moods than much of his work. A lot of these pieces rely on an ominous, vibrant organ that sounds much more like it's housed in purgatory than a church. Often the organ is complemented with hordes of ghostly choral vocal chants, sometimes underpinned with heavy slapped percussion and what sounds like a buzzing Danelectro bass. A memorable and effective score, worth tracking down.
