Junior Homrich with Brian Gascoigne - The Emerald Forest/ OST to the John Boorman's movie (1985)




I love this John Boorman's movie, devoted to the green and deep world of the Amazonian rainforest, to its native people, to the quest of a father looking for his son, to the struggle between modernity and technologies, on the one hand, and a natural and ancestral way of life, on the other hand... This is for me a great movie inspired by a great humanist and ecologist vision...

I love the soundtrack too... Electronic layers and tribal percussions (clay pots, silver goblets, Jew Harp, marimba, body percussions, drums and African drums) mixed with various acoustic instruments (ethnic flutes, saxophones, ethnic oboe) and vocalizations create a deep and a mysterious atmosphere, a unique climate...  

This is a beautiful ambient soundtrack, that explores an unknown world, whose survival is threatened by the developement of our modern and western civilization... Junior Homrich and Brian Cascoigne were successful in blending the most up-to-date musical technologies with shamanism and tribal trance...
