Performance

Various Artists, “Performance” (Warner Bros., 1970)
Killer soundtrack for Nick Roeg’s sinister psychedelic flick. The Mick Jagger and Randy Newman cuts are dead-cool, vertiginous rock-and-roll burners; Ry Cooder’s rattlesnake slide guitar crawls all over the place; and the ambient music settings by producer Jack Nitzsche are like if, instead of peace and serenity, New Age music had been designed to induce skin-crawling paranoia.
