Junior Homrich专辑介绍：by Backroads Music/HeartbeatsThis 1985 soundtrack to John Boorman's powerful film beautifully captures the magic and mystery of the Amazonian rainforest in which the movie is set. Junior Homrich is an extraordinarily versatile Brazilian percussionist whose part-Indian ancestry allows him to draw this powerful music out from the depths of his soul. Using a vast array of percussion instruments -- including various hand drums, clay pots, seed shakers, rainsticks, and even his own body parts -- Junior creates densely layered sound images that seem to breathe with the jungle. Flutes, pan pipes, berimbau and Jew's harp add their hypnotic voices, while Brian Gascogne provides atmospheric synthesizer and marimba, and Joao Bosco contributes tabla and African percussion. One track of languid saxophone nightclub jazz, and the catchy ethno-pop synthesizer melody of "Eagle Break" with its killer bassline and flying tabla, are easily absorbed into this dense collage of sound. The Emerald Forest is a highly evocative and stimulating fusion of neo-primitive elements and contemporary studio magic that transports the listener on a mystical journey through the heart of the rainforest.
