Avi Buffalo - What's it in for?

I can't get this song out of my head. It has sunk in deeper into my consciousness then almost anything I've heard, for quite a while. The harmonies at the end of the recording are astonishing.

This is a very interesting film that seems to have largely forgotten. I was pleased to find it because Ivan Passer's later film 'Cutter's Way' is one of my very favourites. This isn't in the same league but is not that far away in its themes. I'm surprised its been so neglected because it stands up besides better known contemporaries. Probably the closest in feel that comes to mind would be Bob Rafelson's film of the early 70s, ' The King of Marvin Gardens'
