Emmanuelle Original Soundtrack – Pierre Bachelet & Herve Roy (WB K56084) (1974)

This time I made damn sure the correct record was housed within.

And what of the correct record? Well, it is not of the wah-wah guitar, funk and grind school of porn music. No. Instead it consists of basically the same insipid, faux haunting, semi-classical song excerpt played faster and slower, with and without drums, with four beat crochets, with strings, sung in English, sung in French, all called “Emmanuelle Something“. The exceptions include a very unconvincing attempt at rock & roll (“Night Club”), an appropriately skwonking saxophone song called “Rape Sequence” and “Cigarette Act”, which, although different, sounds pretty much like the “Emmanuelle” tracks. The only one of any interest is “Emmanuelle Swims” which is played on synthesisers.

Limp.
