Track of the Week: "The Riddle of the Sands" by Howard Blake, from The Riddle of the Sands
This one came on a double album of soundtrack music by Howard Blake, which I was originally getting for the score to The Duellists. I was quickly intrigued by the music to The Riddle of the Sands (one of the very first espionage thrillers), with mysterious female vocals and ethereal strings. The occasional horn figures add a more dangerous feeling into the mix, making this a very potent piece. (By the way, I apologize for the occasional clicking noise in the recording, my laptop and the CD didn't get along very well).
