One of the most sought-after of funk soundtracks, this key 1970s score paved the way for many later gritty funk soundtracks. Michael Small's superb soundtrack is haunting, disturbing and groovy by turns, reflecting the harrowing nature of the movie. The original soundtrack release is almost as mysterious as the film; apparently pressed out-of-hours at Warner Brothers, it was 'released' semi-officially and has no track listing or breaks between the tracks on the record. Don't let that put you off - there's so much on here! Two killer psych-funk dancefloor numbers sit next to breaks, samples and assorted oddness to make up an essential purchase. Unreservedly recommended.
