Some of these Alan had already chosen. We worked for a couple of weeks with unorthodox explorations of some of the sounds, rhythms & themes of existing tracks. This provided many moods but I felt some new material was needed as well. So, what you have here, is a combination of both. For those people who know my records, I have included (in brackets) the titles which have been obviously raided. I do not wish anyone to be deceived by the sleeve. However, I am not revealing all my sources. I leave that for your detection. Three of these tracks did not make it to the last round - the film. But the music on this record was chosen to make a compatible collection of moods. I'd like to thank the two Alans, Parker & Marshall, for guidance & encouragement. I'd also like to thank my musical co-producer, Daniel Lanois, who, with patience & an endless supply of wonderful treatments, did some excellent work on this record. I'm very pleased to have done this soundtrack for my first attempt at a score. Birdy is a special film. -PG (P) © 1984 Charisma Records Ltd.
