Originally released in 1973, the album was created by the New York band Pool-Pah in collaboration with Rupert Holmes, blending psychedelic rock, jazz, funk, progressive rock, pop, and electronic music into an adventurous and distinctly futuristic sound. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soundtrack originated with the X-rated film \u003cem\u003eThe Flasher\u003c\/em\u003e, originally titled \u003cem\u003eForbidden Under Censorship of the King\u003c\/em\u003e. Despite its unusual cinematic origins, the music quickly developed an identity of its own. Pool-Pah’s performances combine spacey synthesizers, heavy guitars, funky rhythms, horns, and atmospheric vocals, creating a sound that can move from psychedelic rock and pop to the jazz-funk territory associated with films such as \u003cem\u003eShaft\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSuper Fly\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor its 50th anniversary, Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records finally brought \u003cem\u003eThe Flasher\u003c\/em\u003e back into circulation with its first-ever reissue.
