Tokyo-born jazz composer and pianist Norio Maeda scored the road-movie thriller Shadow Of The Highway back in 1971. A veteran arranger since the 50s (West Liners, Wind Breakers), Maeda's soundtrack pulses with kinetic energy, combining propulsive piano, driving bass, vibraphone flourishes and dynamic percussion, producing a sonic parallelogram to the film's seat-edge, nitrite ride: we watch and listen to a Mitsubishi Galant GTO race from Kagoshima to Hokkaido, balancing tension and release with cinematic flair. Though the exact backing band conscripted by Maeda remains uncredited (!) speculation points to sessions from peers Sound Limited or The Third.
