Smackdown in the crapper

Immediately following the gas station scene, we see Gypsy Billy moving in to pounce on an unsuspecting guard to relieve him of his uniform.

Circling the port-a-john to come in behind the guard and quickly shove him in, Gyp then engages in a little CQB:

The musical selection heard during this very tongue-in-cheek sequence is "Rhythmic Explosion" by Johnny Pearson, available on the Underscore Vol. 2 album from the KPM library.

Music at the pump

Another program track has been identified. The music heard while the gas station attendant (actor Deon Stewardson) fumbles with the pump nozzle is a short piece by composer Johnny Pearson titled, "Riot."

Although not currently found in the online KPM library (or on iTunes or Amazon), the track was apparently used in the incidental music for a late-70s/early-80s Australian television drama about a fictional women's prison titled, Prisoner and known in the U.K. and the United States as, Prisoner: Cell Block H.

Boots and boomerangs

Two more discoveries from the KPM recorded library...

When the team first infiltrates the New Babylonian compound and Steve discovers the abandoned laboratory, he hears someone moving on the other side of a door, he dives and rolls--slamming his boots on the floor (so much for stealth!)--and nearly breaks Kandy's neck.

The brief track played before the dramatic revelation of who was behind the door is Ill Omen by David Lindup.

Shortly after,  Hotdog is poised to bag a New Babylonian citizen and appropriate his clothing for Kandy to wear--using only the boomerang from his bag of tricks.

The musical track heard here is Acquital, also by David Lindup.

Although the film's soundtrack might not all have come from one source (it remains to be seen at this point), Igo Kantor clearly borrowed heavily from KPM library composers.

Fortunately for fans and aficionados of library music, many classic tracks from KPM are available for individual purchase through iTunes, including both of the above-mentioned tracks.

Music from the alley on the left

More background music tracks have been identified.

As Steve is walking through the rows of makeshift homesteads in Gypsy Billy's trailer-park-slash-shanty-town, we hear a short cacophony of various musical excerpts intended to sound as if coming from a number of different radios or record players.

One is another selection from the KPM recorded library titled, "I Gotta Get The World Off My Back" by Bill Martin and Phil Coulter, and is currently available from iTunes as part of the KPM 1000 Series album The Sound of 'Pop'.

Another is the triumphal march from Guiseppe Verdi's grand opera Aida.

The Holy Grail has been found!

Fantastic breaking news for this blog which no one ever reads...

Thanks to Chris Hadley over at the Film Score Monthly forum, the musical coup de gras from the KKA soundtrack has been identified and located.

The brief bumper track heard following the fight sequence between The Team and the New Babylonians in the white box truck...and then the longer selection heard during the descent of the parachutists...are variations of a theme by composer Keith Mansfield which can be found on the KPM library music album titled, Olympiad 2001, released in 1978.

The specific selections are:

Track 17, Olympic Champion Fanfare 3 (0:17)
and
Track 18, Energy and Movement (1:15)

Other variations appear on a previous album, Olympiad 2000 (1977) which includes the track World Champion, known better as the opening theme music for the televised coverage of Wimbledon.
