Wendy Carlos on this track

A favorite sound-painting track of ours, Stanley also liked it, so much so that of all our preliminary music, this is the only cue he ever used. That was for the film’s teaser/trailer, which came out exactly one year before we were summoned to London to commence work in earnest. The sounds are Rachel’s versatile vocals with percussive and brassy synthesizer lines, all quite melodramatic.
