The rock group Spirit recorded music for this obscure..film starring Anouk Aimee & Gary Lockwood. Due to the dismal reception of the film a score LP was not released in 1968. Finally Sundazed has released (on CD and vinyl) the score. And is a jewel!! Mostly "free jazz" score with a few songs; anyone familiar with the group Spirit and their "jazzy" jams (as in the middle of "fresh Garbage") will be very happy someone finally released it. Order at Sundazed music.com. Excellent score!!!!
Marty Paich is also credited on this film. Does anyone know what he contributed? I'm thinking maybe some of the modal, quasi-psychedelic jazzy grooves, but I suppose that could have been Spirit also.

Marty Paich usually arranged horns and strings for the group Spirit.
Although I haven't done a direct comparison, quite a lot of what's on the album isn't used in the film. From what I understand this was largely a "jam session" score - Spirit composed and recorded a lot of music and Demy pulled from the sessions what he wanted to. I think Spirit's music works perfectly in the film, and the album is great too.

How is the sound quality?
The Sundazed CD is in great mono sound. Has unreleased tracks also. You can sample it at Sundazed.com. Alex
