A Breed Apart: The Maurice Gibb Soundtrack Works 1980-85

from Words - The Bee Gees Podcast

Throughout the first half of the 1980s, as the Bee Gees took a break from their band moniker and looked towards writing and producing for other artists, and Barry and Robin explored the next stages of their solo careers, Maurice was all the while tinkering away in the background, writing music intended for the background. This episode explores the soundtrack works (and various leftover compositions) composed by Maurice. This covers 'Living Eyes' era instrumentals, a Marti Webb showtune, a solo single and various film scores, the primary example being the music for 1984's 'A Breed Apart'. Stuart and Cristiano work their way through this eclectic collection of music, shining a light on Maurice's deft synthesiser skills and craft for arranging evocative soundscapes.Find us on social medias @wordsbeegeespodcast.
