The Big Gundown: John Zorn Plays the Music of Ennio Morricone
The Groove is music.nw’s own measure of renown — not an opinion, a fact computed from the record. It weighs reach (how many people engaged) against acclaim (how highly they rated it), balanced so a handful of votes can’t outshout a lasting favourite.
Computed the NeuraWeb way, across the whole record. The same yardstick for everyone — which is why the little-known can out-Groove the famous in their own corner.

The Groove doesn’t measure marketing spend, streaming payouts, or placement — none of which are for sale here. Coordinated vote campaigns are detected and collapsed: a wall of perfect scores appearing at once is not acclaim, and the Groove treats it accordingly. A prolific unknown is honoured for output, never mistaken for renown. The same yardstick for everyone.
