The list of 25 tracks will include 10 iconic melodies from one of best-loved soundtrack composers (who wrote scores for the iconic films such as Cinema Paradiso, The Mission and Love Affair) as well as 15 all-new exclusive pieces composed just for the brand. The first device to feature the divine tunes will be Optimus 2X—described as the world’s first dual-core phone, which will first go on sale this month in Europe. The developers are also planning to create a bunch of apps featuring Morricone-related content, which will be available for free.

“Signore Morricone is one of the best-loved soundtrack composers of all time. Reproducing his work with such amazing clarity on the Optimus 2X, gives smartphones a whole new level of respect as the primary device for on-the-go music,” commented Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.
