British Lion Orchestra - The Girl on a Motorcycle: Music from the Soundtrack of The British Lion - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

For 'The Girl on a Motorcycle'. Rebecca (Marianne Faithfull) the food of her love is Daniel (Alain Delon), the security her husband Raymond (Roger Mutton), her passion and the link between the three-the motorcycle. To capture these turbulently youthful emotions in cinema form is an artistic achievement, but to amplify them and the action of a film-is aesthetically almost impossible. That brilliant young composer, Les Reed, has succeeded is evident not only to the filmgoer but also to the listener of this album Using a wide range of orchestral and pop sounds, he follows the film situations with musical images complementing the many moods of Rebecca. In the context of the film the music is an integral part of the atmosphere, but taken as a separate entity re-creates the same moods of passion, exhilaration, despair and violence. The moods of love. Pulsing with the spirit of the late '60s and blending rich orchestration with psychedelic grooves to mirror the film's sensual, dreamlike journey, this bold fusion of pop, jazz, and cinematic flair, it remains a mesmerizing snapshot of an era defined by freedom and artistic experimentation.
