John Barry Follow Me lp

2008/1972

A romantic comedy/spy spoof has a jealous husband hire a private eye to follow Mia Farrow, and she turns the tables & starts following him and sleeping with him. Filmmakers purposely chose the oddest named locales in London for filming, so they visit 'Deer Meat Alley', 'Pickles Square' and so on. Barry's lush score is trussed in tons of syrupy echo, so the horns smear and the pizzicato strings come leaking through a druggy haze. Main theme has epic sweeps of strings over sudden kick-ins of percussion- a trick that's nipped from Michel Legrand. There's a couple of slow horn solos that would've fit right in to a Bond sex scene, but also some fun bump & grinders for a discotheque number. Tracklisting: Follow Follow, The Meeting, The Man on a Scooter Follow Follow, Another Chance, This Is How You Dance, Off Again Follow Follow, Follow Follow, Streets and Parks and Lanes, Some Party, Closer And Closer, The Tickle of Original Feeling, Follow Follow End Title.
