Five years in the making, Rome is a collaboration between Danger Mouse (aka Brian Burton) and Italian composer Daniele Luppi, born out of the pair's love of 60s Italian film soundtracks. Recorded at Rome's Forum studios, a converted church that once played host to composers such as Ennio Morricone, Piero Umiliani and Bruno Nicolai, the record features vintage equipment and contributions from musicians who featured on spaghetti western scores such as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and Once Upon a Time in the West. Oh, and as if that's not enough, there are also guest spots from Jack White and Norah Jones.
