Earlier I mentioned my enthusiasm for the music of Ennio Morricone.  More recently I wrote about my new interest in the Black Angels and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.   Strangely, these two themes collided in the form of Spindrift.  Spindrift are cohorts of Black Angels and BRMC. They have toured together.   As well, Spindrift composed a Morricone-inspired rock soundtrack for a "spaghetti western" movie called "The Legend of God's Gun".

One thing that separates "The Legend of God's Gun" from other movie soundtracks is that "The Legend of God's Gun" movie didn't actually exist.   They composed a soundtrack for a fictitious film.  Some years later, a movie was made, inspired by the album, but at the time it was made, it was an exercise in imagination: you listen to the soundtrack and imagine the movie that goes with it.

Some bits of voice-over provide a rough sketch of the plot and general tone of the story: there's an outlaw named El Sobero and his gang of filthy degenerates.  There's a bounty hunter who has been hired to exterminate El Sobero and his gang.  And there's a mysterious gun-slinging Preacher. And they're all going to collide in the town of Playa Diablo in what will no doubt be an epic confrontation. People know spaghetti western tropes and can put together their own idea of how things will shake out, and can probably imagine a story way better than the one that actually got made.

Right now, the bounty hunter is wondering whether dragging Ringo all the way back to Playa Diablo on foot is going to be worth the reward.

It's not.

Playa Diablo is 43 miles away.

 ...and there ain't gonna be any reward.
