THE THIRD MAN SOUNDTRACK


I recently watched 'The Third Man' and thought that was one hell of a soundtrack!!(And the movie too!!)
It was composed by Anton Karas who played the Zither, who was a wine bar performer in Vienna. The director heard Anton play in a cafe and knew he found his composer for the film. Anton agreed to record some of his own compositions on a reel-to-reel tape machine that the director set up in the bedroom of his hotel in vienna. One of these was later to become the Harry Lime Theme and become a popular hit. Anton worked up to 14 hours a day for twelve weeks straight to make this score. The exposure made Karas an international star after the movie was released, he toured the world and played for royalty.....The success of the score also caused a surge in zither sales

Before Stevie Nicks there was Peter Green, he originally formed the band in 1967. He took too many drugs (LSD), toured Europe and  joined a commune and quit the band in 1970. B.B King said, "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats".

CREAM OF THE CROP - ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN - OCEAN RAIN


I remember when I was younger, my friend had this record. The cover really caught my eye, it was very mysterious. I felt like I HAD to listen to this! Then I heard the music... then I fell in love with this record. I thought the cover was absolutely perfect for what I just heard, it fit so well with the sound; dark, blue and purple and some guys rowing in what I thought was a cave. One of the best records ever made (and record cover)!!
