FEAR IS THE KEY
The soundtrack highlights Roy Budd's prodigious composing talent at its very best, overseeing a line-up of the cream of British musicians including Ronnie Scott, Tubby Hayes, Kenny Baker, Chris Karan and Jeff Clyne. Much of this jazzy orchestral score was recorded live to picture and the sheer exuberance of the playing bursts out of every track.
The tour-de-force is the epic ten minute Car Chase sequence, featuring a 78-piece orchestra overdubbed with skidding tires and throbbing sirens, embellished with a blistering sax courtesy of Ronnie Scott.

THE WILD GEESE
The Wild Geese soundtrack album is the latest addition to Silva Screen's reissues of Roy Budd's catalogue which features extensive digital re-mastering.
Mixture of moods and genres, from Borodin's "Notturno" to military marches, Roy Budd's score is based on a brief to emulate the classic Hollywood adventure movie music of the likes of Max Steiner and Erich Korngold.
Budd's gift for urban rhythms and his individual approach to electronic and 'found' sound, made him particularly well suited to gritty urban tales, dark thrillers, adventures and war films.
The soundtrack also features the famous theme "Flight Of The Wild Geese", written and performed by Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Joan Armatrading at theheight of her career.
The Wild Geese was released in 1978 to great success and over the years the film has developed a cult status.
