3. Elmer BernsteinHud: Original Soundtrack
This is one idea, repeated, done in a simple palette of colour. So many records that I like are like that. I love putting it on in the background. It’s like a tumbleweed in slow motion. It’s stoic and sad. The rhythm of it is so beautiful. I loved the film when I was younger, too. It reminds me of weekend afternoons when I was a kid watching Westerns on TV, things like High Noon and The Searchers. [laughs] Remember that feeling? And that plangent Spanish guitar… this album feels intimate and epic all at the same time.
