Personally, and now having watched the movie and listened to this glorious soundtrack vinyl twice over, I found it to be a strange and beautiful love story; one that I can easily see becoming a cult classic. The music was phenomenal and Sadie’s vocals are top notch perfect for those haunting ballads. And all set upon the background of a post-apocalyptic sci-fi 80’s vibe worked for me too as it made an interesting atmosphere for the two lost souls to find each other.
Putting the vinyl on the turntable, Side A opens on the throbbing muscle of Here Comes the Seventh Son, the folk-hued Ramblin’ Down the Road and the soft rocker The Song (Love Is All), before we are then treated to the ethereally-strewn Johnny Fame (from Kelvin Harrison, Jr.), the beautiful ballad Under the Stars, the delicate Feelin’ Free bringing the side to a close.
Flipping the color vinyl over, Side B opens on the folk-prog storytelling of Cursed Six Strings (from Bree Elrod, Pokey LaFarge and Sink), the elegant ballad Ramblin’ Blues and synth-crafted Onederworld (from Murray Bartlett and Emily Forsythe), which are in turn backed seamlessly by the lapidarian Yer Tha One, the robust Strangerland and the emboldened Plazma Rose, coming to a close on the shimmering wonderment that comes together within O’Dessa’s Theme (Here Comes the Seventh Son Reprise) (by Geremy Jasper, Jason Binnick and Sink).
