MUSIC FROM THE FUTURE (PART 3)
music_scifi_unified theory
As promised now we touch on Jerry Goldsmith’s work for the surreal, slightly camp, but epic sci-fi classic Logan’s Run. Much of this soundtrack still sounds future-proof, though it’s hardly fitting for the one’s & two’s (rectified to a certain extent by having been sampled by nu-skool heds like Soundspecies and J.Quaid) it comes from that mid-70s golden era of analogue synth experimentation that unwittingly created soundscapes that sound way more futuristic than almost anything produced 30 years later.

Wish they would loose the ‘Disney’ from right above the title, but otherwise….not too shabby.

FRIDAY FUSION
music_unified theory
Joe Henderson blows like a man in touch with a higher power over this classic break, but my ears always zone in on the telepathic rhythm section that absolutely tear this tune a new one. Dave Holland lays down the b-line with his trademark understatement leaving Jack deJohnette to go at it full bore, matching the soloists blow for blow. The handclaps and the chants bring this one right back to the dancefloor while Larry Willis’ rhodes cuts through the mix like a razor blade, leaving you with a bona-fide classic that gets me by the short and curlies every damn time. Sublime.
Joe Henderson — Tress Cun Deo La
