  • Very cool film. Enjoyed it very much.

    Question for Mr. StMartin: what´s the lovely piece of music we can hear between :31 and 2:20, before the Nordine narration actually starts?

    Thank you for posting.

  • The music was from: Harvey Mandel the album and song is called Cristo Redentor. The album was released in 1968

  • Whatever happened to analog recording? The digital diahreeah they have these days has no class, no style. I like a little scratcy, a little hum, a little pop, a hiss, a noise. It adds to the fantasy.

  • @TarAntXon No man, he's right. I was able to find a copy of the Harvey Mandel "Cristo Redentor" LP and this track is in it. I do believe that the lush and dreamy orchestration has a somewhat lysergic quality though. :)

  • @chuckbirth the upoader is incorrect: Donald Byrd's Cristo Redentor is in fact the track used, a Blue Note records release from 1963. The Harvey Mandel version of the tune is something else entirey as it's interpreted from a guitarist's perspective and I suspect benefits from added chemical stimuli.

  • @YourWaiter

    YES!

  • As an SFSU alum of the Broadcast dept (BCA it used to be called), I got a big kick out of this. I stumbled upon your clip while searching for Nordine stuff.

    Nice surprise. Thanks.

  • I used to have a coffee pot just like that...

  • @chuckbirth -- originally done by Donald Byrd as a gospel tune backed by jazz choir...gorgeous yes )

  • Very good! Only part that jangled me was the actor breaking character for a moment in the tub, but it's minor.

  • thats what I was thinking out loud

  • Sheer Genius! A step into the subconscious!

    No matter how One makes that step, once done.. forever indelible!

  • Kind of like reincarnation...only more sensual.
