Morricone 2010 interview mentions 'Dear God'

Ennio Morricone Interviewed: "Compared To Bach, I'm Practically Unemployed" - The Quietus

Excerpt:

EM: I didn’t meet him personally, I spoke to the producer Tony Visconti before starting but you know, he did not use what I did for the album anyway. It was not his style.
