Free Music Review: "Australian landscape & Barry's score is captivating"
Hit: 5 Stars

"Walkabout" (1971) is a complex
story of loneliness, alienation and social consciousness, as
director/cinematographer Nicolas Roeg using very little dialogue has
the camera (Anthony Richmond-cinematographer) tell this fascinating
tale of a young girl (Jenny Agutter), her brother (Lucien John) and
the young Aborigine (David Gulpilil) of the sumptuous beauty and
horror of the Australian outback.

But the real beauty of this film
is the score by the artistic John Barry, who has the gift of melody,
and he knows how to use it better than anyone else, for any film or
situation. Barry's score evokes perfectly a sense of childhood
yearning, a time gone forever. Our composer's score plays superbly
with rich and melodic tones, with his precise and poetic passages
blends shades of counterpoints, this is John Barry at his best.

The
remaining scores on the album - "THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS"
(1972), "MOVIOLA" (1992), "THE CHASE" (1966),
"ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND" (1972), "THE
BETSY" (1978), "THE CORN IS GREEN" (1978), "UNTIL
SEPTEMBER" (1984) and "SEANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON"
(1964), is music to feast upon and fit for a king.

bundle...this is a classic CD. Other titles to look for -
