Various ‎– Morning Of The Earth (Original Film Soundtrack)

A timeless sonic tapestry, Morning of the Earth is more than just a soundtrack; it’s a cultural touchstone that captures the spirit of a generation. Released in 1972, this album accompanied the groundbreaking surf film of the same name, immersing audiences in a world of sun-kissed beaches, rolling waves, and soulful melodies.

The soundtrack’s eclectic blend of folk, country, and rock music perfectly complements the film’s stunning visuals. Tracks like “Making It on Your Own” and “Day Comes” evoke a sense of carefree wanderlust, while “Sea the Swells” and “Bali Waters” transport listeners to exotic shores. The album’s overall tone is one of optimism and freedom, reflecting the counterculture movement of the era.

Beyond its musical appeal, Morning of the Earth has solidified its place in Australian music history. It was the first Australian soundtrack to sell over a million copies, and its enduring popularity has made it a beloved classic.
