Soundtracks

You know, to movies.

  • Eugen Thomass - Scarabea OST Eugen Thomass – Scarabea OST

    A rare 7inch EP on Hans Wewerkas tiny Austrian Inmus-Label. It’s the soundtrack to Hans-Jürgen Syberbergs Tolstoi adaptation “Scarabea – Wieviel Erde braucht ein Mensch”. Syberberg is one of the most obscure and controversial german independent moviemakers. Due to his neo-conservative and nationalistic views he plays a rather isolated role among the otherwise predominantly leftwing [...]

  • un sourire quelques larmes un peu d'amour - elias rahbani -1973 un sourire quelques larmes un peu d’amour – elias rahbani -1973

     
    the film is a co-production of egypt & lebanon , pictured in egypt-syria-lebanon and morroco!
    a story of young college girl grow up early than her age , thanks to the many experinces she had with man desired her , the transform from innocent girl to busniess woman had it’s price which it was her heart [...]

  • Bojan Adamič - MaÅ¡kerada Bojan Adamič – MaÅ¡kerada

    This is the soundtrack to the Slovanian film Maškerada (Boštjan Hladnik). The film was made in 1971, but was banned and only shown years later in 1984, apparently due to the explicit sex scenes that it contains.  
    Anyway, the tripped out psychedelic “song” Hippy on the A-side of the 45 is quite spectacular. It has a great funky garage beat, wild soaring hammond, [...]

  • William McCauley - Ontario William McCauley – Ontario

    This is a nice little obscure 7″ flexi record containing the soundtrack to a film called “Ontario”. I guess it was a promotional documentary of sorts from around 1970, highlighting this and that of the province. Films like that usually ooze loads of period charm and you often wonder where all the nice tunes went [...]

  • Edward Williams - Music for Life on Earth Edward Williams – Music for Life on Earth

    “Life on Earth was a groundbreaking television natural history series made by the BBC in association with Warner Bros. and Reiner Moritz Productions. It was transmitted in the UK from 16 January 1979. I chanced upon this in a local thrift shop for a golden English pound and was intrigued by the lack of [...]

  • Baquen! - Sensational Sound of Screen Music Baquen! – Sensational Sound of Screen Music

    It took me a while before I noticed the pink female torso holding a gun underneith Sean Connery’s posterized face. The lack of priorities and absence of focus on this cover is somehow exemplary for the record itself. Some cool and some uncool tunes have been treated by the strange combo of drums, flute, oboe, [...]

  • Impossible Theater and John Schneider - Social Amnesia Impossible Theater and John Schneider – Social Amnesia

    Just over a hour and twenty minutes long, this double lp from 1986 is the soundtrack to the Impossible Theater’s performance of their “live movie” Social Amneisa. The soundtrack is made up of the majority (if not all) of the dialouge from the performance as well as songs written and arranged by the Impossible [...]

  • The Wombles - Keep On Wombling The Wombles – Keep On Wombling

    The moment I saw the trippy psych/kiddie album cover, I knew I had to buy this record, and I’m sure glad I did. The Wombles are an H.R. Pufnstuf meets The Muppets children’s television and book series from the UK with a mission: they’re all about picking up litter. I had some high hopes for [...]

  • Mike Curb - Mary Jane OST Mike Curb – Mary Jane OST

    Fairly decent psych / pop soundtrack for this 1968 drugsplotation film. Going by the cover art alone you’re almost guaranteed at least a couple good listens on here. I’ve never seen the film but from what I’ve read at IMDB it sounds pretty bad (meaning I’ll have to see it soon). Anyway, [...]

  • Lee Gagnon - Jeremie Lee Gagnon – Jeremie

    Jeremie was a Quebecois ballet scored by Lee Gagnon. It is a known and sought-after jazz-funk album with plenty of wha-wha and breaks (nobody ever seems to mention the nice mellow folk parts on the album though). However, I’m not here to talk about this record (even though it is, in itself, kind of interesting). [...]

  • Jerry Butler and Jerry Peters - Melinda Jerry Butler and Jerry Peters – Melinda

    PRD-0006 ST – Melinda- Original Soundtrack (Jerry Peters) [1972]
    Jerry Butler and Jerry Peters team up to compose this beautiful soundtrack.
    The record is produced and arranged by Jerry Peters!
    -This is the second Soundtrack on Pride. Before Melinda, Pride released
    PRD-0005ST – Thing With Two Heads, The Various artists [1972]-
    Half of the record is instrumental but Jerry Butler [...]

  • Roy Budd - Fear Is The Key Roy Budd – Fear Is The Key

    Composed by R. Budd, produced by Jack Fishman, PYE Records 1972
    Roy Budd’s finest soundtrack (file under: drama-jazzy-orchestral-70’s-action-crime-thriller) based on Alistair MacLean’s novel. Novel first published in 1961, issued in Fontana Books in 1963.

  • Ennio Morricone - Un Uomo da Rispettare Ennio Morricone – Un Uomo da Rispettare

    Here’s the soundtrack of an Italian made thriller from 1972 directed by Michele Lupo (title translates to A man to Respect). The highlights on here are two jazz instrumentals which are a change of pace from the dark orchestral, semi-avant garde main theme. “L’incarico” is the first – a slow-moving track that unfortunately [...]

  • Love Minus One (Margabi) Love Minus One (Margabi)

    This is a soundtrack from 1971, performed by Denny Vaughn and anonymous Los Angeles based session musicians, to an obscure Love Story-esque film. It also was recorded shortly before the Canadian, Glen Miller-associated bandleader died. The sountrack is all over the place, from a fuzz guitar and organ fueled funk instrumental called “Ride Home Rock”, [...]

  • Victor Tschoutschkov and Georgi Genkov - All over the world Victor Tschoutschkov and Georgi Genkov – All over the world

     
    “Suite from the original music of the seven coproduction films of the Bulgarian and Hungarian red cross societies.”
    Composers Victor Tschoutschkov and Georgi Genkov did an excellent job on this soundtrack for several Red Cross documentaries and educational films from the sixties. This is something of a politically correct Mondo affair where director Gyorgy Karpati took his [...]

  • Lalo Schifrin: Mannix OST Lalo Schifrin: Mannix OST

    When I heard Lalo’s soundtrack to the movie “Bullit” I became so smitten that I spent about a year searching for his other soundtracks. About the time I had roughly 75% of them, I realized that none were really quite as good. This one, the soundtrack to the 60’s detective show “Mannix”, is one of [...]

  • Michael Small: Klute OST Michael Small: Klute OST

    “Hens teeth rare” soundtrack that was allegedly pressed illegitimately from the get go. And believeably so – as originals are unbanded and notoriously shoddily pressed. I have heard this dismissed as a “two tracker”, but it’s about as a good as any soundtrack I’ve heard of this era. If you are looking to find a [...]

  • Johnny Harris: Movements Johnny Harris: Movements

    Often called “The David Axelrod of the U.K.” – and while some of the tracks on this U.K. only lp do have that brooding orchestal funk vibe that has become synonymous with Axelerod – I really don’t feel anything on here is nearly as creative or engauging as Axe’s best work. Not to say that [...]
