sitting target (O.S.T.)

Alongside the recently resurrected (but previously unreleased) seminal scores for 'the wickerman', 'deathline' and 'psychomania', stanley myers' 'sitting target' is another uk thriller soundtrack that has sat in the proverbial 'can' for over 30 years while cinematic sonic-enthusiasts have had to make do with homemade bootlegs taped from second generation video tapes in hope of soundtrack amnesty. after composing 'groovy-movie' music for films such as 'otley' and 'no way to treat a lady', the 'deer hunter' axe-meister brings us his most forward thinking fuzzed-out-orchestratral-proto-hip-hop score to date (albeit three decades late). maestro myers provides the brooding soundscapes for the first-ever r-rated british movie which saw 'lovejoy's' ian mcshane accompany the animalistic oliver reed on a pentonville escape mission fuelled by a bleeding heart, a gallon of red mist and a diabolical lust for revenge. first suite (prison) main theme / visitor / straight jacket / solitaire second suite (outlaws) it's all yours / laundry lark third suite (the mews) the mews / special delivery / fur coat / salt and oil / friend of marty's / squealing pig fourth suite (betrayal) split down the middle / sitting target / betrayal / train yard chase / harry- end theme
