Five Savage Men

Rupert Holmes

Orchestral funk meets desert noir in this 1977 score. A gritty, cinematic departure featuring fuzz guitars, brassy tension, and Holmes' signature melodic wit.

A high-tension blend of cinematic urgency and sun-baked, weary reflection.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the lush vocal opening of track 1 into the jagged, rhythmic tension of the instrumental cues.
The explosive fuzz guitar and aggressive brass stabs that define the chase sequence in track 8.
The mournful, stripped-back melodic resolution during the final reprise of the main theme.
