ROY BUDD - THE STONE KILLER OST ROY BUDD
Roy Budd's absolutely essential soundtrack to the Michael Winner & Charles Bronson film 'The Stone Killer', that they made together prior to the classic 'Death Wish'.
An absolutely essential soundtrack from the mighty Budd (who also composed the soundtrack to 'Get Carter' a few years previous to this), and loved by beatmakers, with the title track being sampled by King Geedorah/MF DOOM (twice), and also by London Elektricity on his 'Billion Dollar Gravy' track from back in 2003, amongst others.
The soundtrack is composed by jazz pianist and composer Roy Budd, who was also responsible for the much-praised soundtrack of the 1971 classic Get Carter starring Michael Caine. It begins with a gentle tender melody but it's a trick, as there is a 70- piece orchestra waiting to pounce. Suddenly the big picture is revealed and the listener enters a full- on Budd theme with a cool jazz accompaniment. The score perfectly demonstrates Budd's ability to blend jazz with orchestral arrangements in ways unparalleled by very few composers. In typical 1970s fashion, this soundtrack will surely satisfy fans of the jazz-funk and library music found on labels such as KPM and Music De Wolfe.
You don't have to be a cinephile to know Michael Winner's 1974 cult vigilante movie Death Wish.
Starring the ever-stoic, quintessential action hero Charles Bronson, it was this film that defined the further careers of both Winner and Bronson. Right before this, they collaborated on The Stone Killer, in which Bronson plays a gritty detective from New York sent to L.A. to solve a case involving an old Sicilian Mafia family feud.
