Issued in 1970 by NFL Films, Music From NFL Films, Vol. 2 assembles seventeen instrumental vignettes composed by Sam Spence. The album’s palette leans into moog textures and broad cinematic gestures, crafted to underscore the drama of American football’s narrative as captured by NFL Films. Tracks such as "Forearm Shiver" and "March to the Trenches" deploy brass and synth elements in measured tension, evoking both the grit and grandeur of the gridiron.This record occupies a peculiar niche where soundtrack utility meets the sensibilities of late ’60s experimental scoring.
