Hans Poulsen | Getting Back to Nothing (Soundtrack) | Album

The 1971 soundtrack to the Australian surf film Getting Back to Nothing is a sun-drenched, quintessential artifact of early 1970s counterculture. Co-created by the legendary "happy hippie" singer-songwriter Hans Poulsen, Bruce Woodley (of The Seekers), and prog-rock guitarist Billy Green, the record beautifully captures the nascent transition of surfing from a free-spirited subculture into a professional sport. While highly sought after by collectors of obscure Australiana folk-rock, the album is a breezy, experimental time capsule that perfectly soundtracks the legendary swells of Bells Beach.
