Hachirou Aoyama - Super Express 109 (1975)



Now, back to the 70s, the funk, the grooves, the Hammond, the Phasers, the neat violins and the Breaks !

They said it couldn't happen... But for 1500 passengers Bullet Train 109 became a nightmare journey that just couldn't be stopped!
=> Plot ? Criminals plant a bomb on a high-speed train. It will explode when the train slows down, unless a ransom is paid.
Simple.

This soundtrack is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !

Nothing much to say about Hachirou Aoyama unfortunately.. I guess he's another supa yet forgotten musician.. He's credited for working on 8 soundtracks, between 1973 and 1978.

Hmmm...if that plot was set aboard a bus it probably would do very well. you could call it "Bullet Bus". Maybe the sequel could be set on a ship. You could call it "Bullet Boat"
Genius.
