Norio Maeda - Shadow Of The Highway (Original Soundtrack) Vinyl LP
Jazz-soaked score for a 1971 road-thriller, sharp and cinematic.
- Original soundtrack to the 1971 road thriller Shadow of the Highway, composed by Norio Maeda
- Jazz-infused film score with piano, vibraphone, bass, and drums in constant motion
- A high point of early 1970s Japanese soundtrack jazz
Norio Maeda's score for the 1971 film Shadow of the Highway is jazz-infused soundtrack writing at its sharpest, built around a Mitsubishi Galant GTO racing from Kagoshima to Hokkaido in a suspenseful road thriller often compared to Vanishing Point. Dashing piano lines, a racing vibraphone, a galloping bass, and shifting drums give the score constant forward motion, swinging between tension and release. The exact studio personnel remain a mystery, though longtime speculation points to musicians from Sound Limited or The Third, both led by Takeshi Inomata. A rare, high-caliber entry in Japanese soundtrack jazz.
