A surprisingly nice album – a return to the territory covered by Lalo Schifrin in his classic 60s album Schifrin/Sade, originally issued on Verve! Like that one, this set has Lalo playing piano and harpischord in jazzed-up tunes with a distinctly baroque feel – almost classical-jazz, ... read moreCD
Pretty great work for the short-lived Planet Of The Apes TV show in the 70s – a brief spinoff of the films, done with a surprisingly similar style – and with some excellent soundtrack music that's really a cut above the usual for the time!

2 soundtracks by David Shire – an oft-overlooked film composer, best known for his work on Pelham 123! Farewell My Lovely is a great late Robert Mitchum film – kind of a 70s noir, featuring Mitchum as Philip Marlowe – and the music is kind of a reworking of an older style of ... read moreCD
An excellent 70s funky thriller soundtrack! This one's been a lost gem for sample freaks for years – and no wonder, since it's filled with funky riffing, tight rhythm tracks, and fierce horn blasts.

That's a very 80s image on the cover, and there's a very 80s feel to the record – a set that's awash in the kind of cool keyboard work you'd expect from Claudio Simonetti, often served up with a lean style that owes plenty to the legacy of John Carpenter! The keys can move from deep and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the sweetest, funkiest Italian soundtracks we've heard from the 70s – originally written for a sci-fi TV show by Enrico Simonetti, and filled with some really great work on keyboards!
