Time for a soundtrack compilation. Australia gets low down and jazztastically funky on this Don Burrows' soundtrack from 1976:

Stelvio Cipriani with another funky little number from a film called 'Femina Ridens'...

molly bloom · April 10, 2012, 10:28

Jazz hands from Poland. Krzysztof Komeda from Polanski's 'Knife In The Water'... groovy thrills x 2.

The extremely atmospheric music from the t.v. series 'Robinson Crusoe'...

molly bloom · April 10, 2012, 10:35

One of my favourite paranoia outings, Coppola's 'The Conversation'- right up there with 'The Parallax View'. What a pity the U.S. doesn't make so many films for grown ups like those any more...

C0ckney · April 10, 2012, 10:36

a slightly truncated studio version and a full length live version of this excellent track from the juan maclean.

Ba-rock 'n' roll- Nyman and Purcell from 'The Draughtsman's Contract':

Sweden gets the jazz vibe on 'Chameleon'...

C0ckney · April 10, 2012, 10:49

i'd never heard that bowie number before molly, it's very good.

molly bloom · April 10, 2012, 10:51

Wim Mertens, 'Belly Of An Architect':

molly bloom · April 10, 2012, 10:53

The gentleman with white hair ended up in 'The Untouchables'- the film, that is...

'Man In A Suitcase'...

A British 60s' series with Herbert Lom. Interestingly enough, my friend's mother was the receptionist at the dentist's where Mr. Lom had his work done. He was every inch the old fashioned gentleman, she said. John Hurt went there too, and she gave him an excellent write up too...

A film I could hardly see properly, as my eyes were streaming with tears of laughter.

'I'm Gonna Git You, Sucka !' Right on, right on....

If'n you likes Mr. B acoustically, try this from the same album:

An early bootleg, another track from the album retitled 'Space Oddity' :

molly bloom · April 11, 2012, 08:57

I likes this version of 'Man Who...'

molly bloom · April 11, 2012, 08:59

And I suspect you're probably familiar with this...

molly bloom · April 11, 2012, 09:03

And this is Peter Noone, of Herman's Hermits, who substitutes 'beast' for '*****' in the lyrics- what a wimp...

It's the weekend. Are you feeling :

I like Mark Isham's soundtracks very much- but I didn't know this song. It helps that along with the wonderfully smokey brass you have Tanita Tikaram's sepia-tinted voice...
