Search - Les Reed :: Girl on a Motorcycle/Les Bicyclettes de Belsize

2008 release containing a pair of cult '60s movie soundtracks composed by Les Reed. At the top of his game in 1968-69, Reed had written many Pop hits and was extending into movie scores ( later progressing further into stage musicals ). The music in Girl On A Motorcycle, the 1968 film with Marianne Faithfull and Alain Delon, is an intriguing period mix of Hammond organ grooves, quasi -classical interludes, psychedelic passages and avant garde incidentals. Some structures and production sounds can be traced through to the following year's Les Bicyclettes De Belsize starring Judy Huxtable and Anthony May, although the music is more pastoral pop ballad. The latter film is also more laid back charming as opposed to the formers tense and edgy atmosphere, and naturally these qualities are reflected in both soundtracks. RPM.
