Episode 1: The Naked City
Written by Finn on October 25, 2016
The San Francisco skyline in Blake Edwards’ 1962 film “Experiment in Terror”, featuring a soundtrack by Henry Mancini.
Episode 1 of The Road to Nowhere brings you the sounds of the city at night: echoing footsteps, snapping fingers, sleazy saxes, and more. But there’s also the inaudible: the paranoia, the excitement, the lust, the come down. Weaving through jazz, exotica, cold-wave, and synth-pop from 1951 to 1991, these cuts will follow you through those lonely streets until you find your own Blue Cabaret.
Yves Saint Laurent’s “Le Smoking” tuxedo for women.
