Hurry to Me  performed by  Roy Budd  (1969)
Composed by Ennio Morricone
Arranged by Roy Budd
From: England
Mood: dreamy bossa piano lush
Recommended by delicado [profile] before May 2001

A superb recording of a really perfect song. Ennio Morricone's theme to the obscure movie 'metti, una cera a cena' (one night at dinner) is here performed in a classic crisp, clear version by Roy Budd. I'm not sure if I love this recording so much because it was the first version I heard, but I think it may even be better than the Morricone recording. Anyway, if you don't know this song, you will probably recognise it when you hear it. It features an infuriatingly catchy repetitive female wordless-vocal over a gentle bossa beat, with rich strings and piano. Every now and then everything goes quiet and all you hear are the vocals and a faint tremelo guitar. It is really amazingly beautiful. There is also a great italian version of this song by Milva, which sounds amazingly like the group Stereolab.

from Soldier Blue (Pye NSPL 18348)
available on CD - Sound Spectrum (Sequel)

Other Versions: The Sandpipers, Milva

  01 Feb 06 ·leonthedog: The Budd version is also available on "Rebirth of the Budd," for those (like myself) wanting an introduction to his work. The Sandpipers' version on "Canto Morricone Vol." is equally nice.

  22 Jul 18 ·delicado: Yes, it's a cracking compilation. It's so well done that if you listen to the tracks out of context (e.g. on the original LPs), they don't sound as thrilling as they do on this mix!
