Rock (Instrumental)
Spaghetti western rhythms and a fast paced rolling beat accompany a sax line that sounds like it might reflect an afternoon at the bull fight, with a shallow nod to "High Noon" and the Hollywood Persuaders.
Rock (Instrumental)
This is a slow number with haunted keys and clarinet carrying the melody. It's very pretty and a bit moody, and the rhythm guitar and keys are really the thing that makes it work. The chorus is period poppy, but unnecessary.
