 Patton , founder of Ipecac Recordings , has described his admiration for Morricone 's writing , feeling that the composer turned " what could be banal , surface @-@ style pop into really deep , orchestrated , tense and compelling music " . Patton considers Morricone to be one of his favorite composers , and wanted the compilation to serve as a fitting tribute . He felt it was " imperative " for Crime and Dissonance to focus on Morricone 's lesser @-@ known work , as it had to compete with a large back catalogue of similar compilations . To this end , Patton and Bishop focused on Morricone 's more experimental work , which Patton has compared to the music of Brazilian tropicália group Os Mutantes . Patton has praised Bishop 's work on the project , calling him " a big Morricone scholar " , and has described Crime and Dissonance as one the Ipecac releases he is most proud of .
