Roger Webb | Bartleby (Soundtrack) | Album

Roger Webb's soundtrack for the 1970 film adaptation of Herman Melville's Bartleby is widely celebrated as a "lost" masterpiece of British library music. Previously unreleased for decades, the score gained significant attention following its 2021 archival release on Trunk Records. The album is described by critics and listeners as a unique "mish-mash" that captures the eerie, alienated atmosphere of the film. Much of the record features "blissful" pastoral orchestration and British jazz elements, creating a sense of "unease" and "suspense". A standout feature noted in multiple reviews is the "heavyweight" and "wicked" drum and bass work.
