WALK WITH US (from Alan Parker’s MIDNIGHT EXPRESS). This piece uses the moment where Brad Davis screams “Bug off!” in Turkish. The words sound like something from a techno anthem. The track is sustained by the sound of the duduk – an instrument native to Armenia but also used in neighbouring Turkey, where the action of MIDNIGHT EXPRESS takes place. One must replay the film to realise how little editing was required to integrate the entire “bad machine” rap into the music.
