CRUISING (1980) JACK NITZSCHE, BARRE PHILLIPS

Music and effects, reconstructed from 5.1 dvd audio (ac3). The diegetic score, not the club music.
20 cues edited from the movie (25 minutes), plus the 2 album tracks which were the source for several of those cues (19 minutes).*
*"A-i-a" from album THREE DAY MOON by Barre Phillips, and "Waterwheel" from album BATIK by Ralph Towner.
Various shorter cues sound like excerpts from both musician’s albums, but I couldnt find exact matches. Perhaps these were by Nitzsche who mimicked their style, assuming he wrote anything for the soundtrack.
PM for Flac link.

Hopefully someone can digitize the recent 2019 vinyl release which contains two previously unreleased tracks by Barre Phillips and Egberto Gismonti. This would be the missing non-diegetic cues, possibly involving Jack Nitzsche. His name is absent from specific cues but presumably he was involved with these. Btw, the vinyl is not complete as advertised – it omits "Herbal Scenta" by Tom Browne (already available), which I don’t think anyone has identified except the Library of Congress….your tax dollars at work.

thanks

merci

thanks so much

Thanks!

Nice job Sir! Tracks 12, 13 & 14 are actually Ralph Towners ”Waterwheel”. Brill piece of music.

cool, thanks for the info! Dont suppose you could put a composer name to each of the cues in the upload, and post the tracklist as such?
