Harp riff was also used in a fantastic song by an Australian band from the 1990's called The Clouds.  The song in question (Pocket) is from a terrific album called Penny Century - well worth a listen if you can find it.

Perfect. And I'm sure the intro was used by The Orb. Little Fluffy Clouds if I'm not mistaken.

Watched the movie very recently. So atmospheric (if a little over done).

Harmonica is sampled from Supertramp, yes?  I think it's the opening riff from "School" from Crime of the Century (1974).

Either that, or Supertramp sampled from the same harmonica?

Any experts on this one? 
 
Um, if it sampled it is from 'Once Upon a Time in the West', a Sergio Leone movie with Charles Bronson (as The Man with the Harmonica), Jason Robards, Henry Fonda, Jack Elam, and Claudia Cardinale (drool...)

I immediately thought Ennio Morricone's 'Untouchables' soundtrack from the first wail.

Also sounds like a Radiohead song, can't think of name right now. I think they are both using the exact harmonica sample or something.

Nice mix - sort of 'spaghetti dub' :o). 7 from the Nottingham jury.

It's hard to get excited about a loop-based instrumental these days, but given the release date, I'd say this track has aged well.

Nah, gotta think back.................waaaaay back to the "Strand" cigarettes adverts in the early 60's for that intro.
And yes, they were discontinued, attributed to the 'too lonely' advertising music.
There is such a thing as irony.

NB I did like this after the intro however, plus the Harlem Nocturne following.

Which reminds me of my second trip to Morocco, way back in summer of '89. Me and my friends were sitting outside a café in the blistering heat, dust clouds rolling by and all, and made comments on each other's faces which where clearly based on certain cinematographic references. And eventually, the owner of the, well: saloon, had nothing better to do than putting on a Supertramp tape.

During the intro, we sat there almost petrified. And then ordered another coffee.

This should be part of the soundtrack for Stephen King's The Gunslinger - Part One of the Dark Tower series movie
