The original soundtrack album for the film The Emerald Forest, directed by John Boorman. The music is composed by Junior Homrich and Brian Gascoigne. Featuring a deep and mysterious soundscape reminiscent of the dense jungle, the album masterfully blends various percussive instruments such as clay pots, goblets, kalimbas, and African drums with ethereal synthesizers. The result is an exceptionally high-quality production that transcends the typical boundaries of a soundtrack. This hidden gem is packed with high-level ethnic music that suits a variety of situations, from chillout to dance. It evokes a similar sonic world to Through the Looking Glass, the masterpiece by Japanese percussionist Midori Takada. The final track, B7, is an electronic percussion dance piece rich in synthesizer textures, making for a stunning finale. A highly recommended album from start to finish.
