10/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this full 26 minutes version "My Kingdom" its a masterpiece of the contemporary music. Probably one the best compositions of the whole history of music.

FSOL give a master lesson in the use of sampling technics, with their incredible sampler of Enio Morricones "Once Upon A Time In America" film score. Its really a lesson about how to extract a fragment of another record and use it for create new experiences in people that listenning it.

Morricones "Once Upon A Time In America" film score its one of my favourites motion pictures original soundtracks. Not very much people can use it without a reaction against by a person who have listen it thousand of times.

Morricone is a genius and FSOL too. Because Morricones flute reach a new state in this song. If the incredible use of Morricones sampler its not enough for you it also contains almost other two fantastical samplers from: "Pungent Effulgent" by Ozric Tentacles and "Rachels Song" from the film score "Bladerunner" composed by Vangelis and performed by Mary Hopkin.

Really one of my favourite compositions ever. Fantastic.
