Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi featuring Jack White - Two Against One

Danger Mouse is producer, songwriter and musician Brian Burton.  Born in New York he is probably best known for his work with the Gorillaz, Beck and Sparklehorse.  He also formed Gnarls Barkley with Cee Lo Green.  This latest offering, Rome, sees Burton  collaborating with Italian composer Daniele Luppi.  It is not the first time they have worked together but this time the album has the feel of a spaghetti western soundtrack - no coincidence because not only did they use the former studios of Ennio Morricone, but intriguingly they were able to reunite the original musicians who played on Once Upon A Time in the West and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.   Consisting of both instrumental and vocal tracks, it is best listened to as a whole. The two guest vocalists, Jack White and Norah Jones, contribute their own individual style to some of the tracks. Jack White's Two Against One is particularly fine.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UibsjY5K-c
