A beautiful little album of sweet late 60s easy – originally recorded by British producer Mike Hurts for
Phase 4 at the end of the 60s, but never issued until now! The set has a really warm and glowing sort of groove –
one that's a fair bit more dynamic than most of the rest of the
Phase 4 sets, with evocative qualities that almost push the record more into the soundtrack side of the spectrum. Hurst's arrangements of the tunes are often quite driving, but never too dramatic – and although the set's an orchestral
one, there's a great sense of pacing, timing, and rhythm to all the numbers. Titles include "April Fools", "Cool", "Sound Of Silence", "Wednesday's Child", "Good Vibrations", "Image", "Mission Impossible", and "Theme From The Wild Ones".
