One of the best, if not the best Original movie soundtrack.
Memo From Turner is certainly not "weak": it's a fantastic number, better than 80% of Stones records.
The last Poets song is thrilling and menacing and at least 10 years ahead of it's time (as was th movie of course).
'Gone Dead Train'is the best song I've ever heard by Randy Newman, quite raw and urgent.
'The Hashishin' is a sitar-laden, droney psych instrumental that perfecly evokes Chas's mushroom trip.
'Harry flowers' is a beautiful semi-clasical piece and the last track 'Turner's Murder' is suitably eerie.
