Been listening to a bit of Ennio Morricone lately - the guy behind the music for a lot of the Spaghetti Westerns. It's mostly great stuff but what struck me was the idea that Barny composed "Elegia" after overdosing on Morricone. The use of dynamics in Elegia is almost identical to the way Morricone does it.
Also I remember Barny on a Peel Show picking a Morricone track as one of his faves.
In "NewOrderStory" Hooky said (or was it Barney?) that they used Morricone-style samples recording "Republic". I also recall a Monaco interview where Hooky (or was it Potsy?) said that "Ballroom" was influenced by Ennio Morricone.

It was Steve who mentioned Morricone on Republic (i.e RIAD) and also Massive Attack (Special)- I think! ;)

The drum intro to RIAD is a direct rip-off of the intro to the Good the Bad & the Ugly main theme. I have an MP3 here so I might put if up for comparison some time, if there's enough interest.
