Unsplash Enjoy this fictional soundtrack to a non-existing seventies movie! 😊Some of the tracks are actual songs from a soundtrack, but most of them certainly could have been. This cloudcast is an exclusive one for Mixcloud Select subscribers only. Tracklist: Aldorande – Summer Body (2020) Rice & Beans Orchestra – Love Is On My Mind (1977) Limoncello – Con Tu Amor (2020) Los Retros – New Humanity (2020) Nat Dove & The Devils – Zombie March (1977) B-Movie Orchestra – Sexy Girls (2012) Dianne Mower – The Secret Sign (1980) Marlena Shaw – Last Tango In Paris (1973) Love Unlimited Orchestra – Brazilian Love Song (1976) Norman Harris – In Good Faith (1980) Werner Baumgart's Big Band Baden-Baden – Long Island Sound (1980) Lani Hall – No Strings (1980) Silver Convention – San Francisco Hustle (1976) MFSB – Plenty Good Lovin’ (1976)

After seeing two superb movies, Silver Linings Playbook with Oscar winning actor Jennifer Lawrence (picture) and Flight with Oscar nominated actor Denzel Washington, I got inspired to create this mix. All of the tracks have big parts in movies, although the male character in Silver Linings Playbook, played by Bradley Cooper, hates ‘My Cherie Amour’ from Stevie Wonder… It’s nice to see Denzel Washington putting in a tape and listening to ‘Ain’t no sunshine’ from Bill Withers in Flight (don't see that movie if you have a fear of flying...). Enjoy! Tracklist ( in parentheses the names of the original soundtracks ): John Legend – Who Did That To You? (Django Unchained) (2012) Minnie Riperton – Inside My Love (Jackie Brown) (1975) Johnny ‘Hammond’ Smith – Soul Talk 1970 (Soul Kitchen) (1969) Bill Withers – Ain't No Sunshine (Flight) (1971) Marvin Gaye – Cleo’s Apartment (Trouble Man) (1972) Marvin Gaye – Trouble Man (Trouble Man) (1972) Marlena Shaw – Last Tang...

The only thing I have to say about this mix is that I love big movie themes and that late seventies/early eighties space sound! So consider it a soundtrack to a non-existing sf-movie, or something like that... I'm still waiting for an assignment to compile the music for a movie officially, though! ;-) Probably the best space track ever is Starship 109 from Mistral. It’s such a good song! Mistral is a space disco project from Dutchman Robbie van Leeuwen who wrote ‘Venus’ for Shocking Blue, a number one in the US in 1970 (and for Bananarama in 1986). You can hear him play guitar on this track as well. Put on your space suits and enjoy this trip to the moon! Next up is ‘Be gentle with my ears’, my first mix with some exotica (or tropical jazz ) in it. Tracklist: Asteroid – Asteroid (1967) Meco – Meco’s Theme (1977) Janelle Monáe – Suite II Overture (2010) PPK – Resurrection (2002) Amba – Astral Projection (2003) Klaus Schulze – Bayreuth Return [Eddy’s Edit] (1975) ...
