Philippe Sarde - Max Et Les Ferrailleurs - Bande Originale Du Film (1970)
Here is Philippe Sarde's spooky 5 track mini soundtrack for Claude Sautet's 1971 crime drama "Max Et Les Ferrailleurs" (Max and the Junkmen). We get a few versions of the very cool hypnotic, heavily percussive and some what militaristic feeling main theme song (the first version featuring French language vocals by Mouloudji). My favorites on this one are "Le Bal Des Ferrailleurs" and the moody film noir-esque "Max, Abel Et Lily" theme. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with this one!

François De Roubaix - Ho ! - Bande Originale Du Film (1968)
Here's a cool little four track EP by one of my all time favorite composers, Mr. François De Roubaix from the soundtrack of Robert Enrico's 1968 gangster film "Ho !" starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Joanna Shimkus. Musically on this one, we start out with some crazy high energy detuned bar piano stuff (sounds like a saloon scene from a western) with a song called Bénédicte, then on track two (a song called François Holin) we get a real treat with Roubaix showing us all what an insanely talented virtuoso he really is, playing some extremely fast and complex melodies, switching between piano and what sounds like tack piano. After that, we get some standard old timey ragtime jazz with Générique and lastly one of Roubaix's unforgettable haunting crime themes (Le Revolver) that make an appearance on nearly everything he does. He's simply the best.

The Death of a Candle - Compiled & Mixed by The Cowboys From Sweden (2016)
Here's the latest installment from The Cowboys From Sweden. The Death of a Candle is a slow dramatic listen loaded with moody soundtrack cuts and rare pop sounds from France, Italy and a few other places. This mix was conceptualized as sort of a fairytale story and is intended to be listened to with that in mind. Sort of a movie soundtrack with a plot that you can follow perhaps (Although there isn't one)... This is possibly the moodiest Cowboys mix to date due to it's slow dreamlike delivery. Although the focus here is more on moody low key symphonic sounds perhaps, there are still some funky moments here and there. This mix features quite a few obscure gems from my collection which include Ann Sorel's breathtaking liturgical pop tune "La Prelude... Et La Suite", Aleph's insane "Love Memories", Guido and Maurizio De Angeles' "Penso Se..." television theme, and a few beautiful rarities by Jennifer and Elsa Laurent to name a few. Probably the track that inspired this mix from the beginning was Michel Legrand's "Amour... Amour" from the excellent Peau D'Ane (or Donkey Skin) soundtrack (which happens to actually be a fairytale). Grab your headphones and go out for a nice long walk, or light a candlestick and watch it burn down! And don't forget to play it loud! 320 rips with artwork included. Enjoy! Thanks for listening. Comments are appreciated!

Ozarks - One Thing (2015)
Today Attacknine Records released a brand new single by my band Ozarks (Robbie Augspurger and myself, also known as The Cowboys From Sweden). The single features two new songs. The first up is the harpsichord driven cobweb-pop tune "One Thing" which features lyrics about Ludwig Van Beethoven and his family. The second track included is a nice little liturgical slow-motion cinematic library pop instrumental called "Claudine" which draws inspiration from our love of rare soundtrack collecting (with nods to a few of our favorite film music composers such as Ennio Morricone, François De Roubaix and Francis Lai). The cover of the single is graced with an excellent painting by the magnificent and way too talented Adam Burke (and has some minor design work by yours truly).
The single is free and you can download it now from the Attacknine Bandcamp page here.
Just click "Buy Now" and enter "0" into the price field. Then light a candle and have a listen over a nice glass of cognac.
