Rare work from an unusually-titled TV show – the Japanese program that was also known as Doberman Cop! The music's from 1980, but it's got a sweet 70s feel throughout – lots of the wah-wah guitar, heavy keyboards, and jazzy touches you'd find in American cop show work from the early 70s – put together here in a simple, basic style that's totally great – very unassuming in its approach, with a real concentration on the best musical elements in each short tune! The notes are all in Japanese, but the instrumental music has a universal appeal to any fan of US or Euro cop/crime work – and the package features a whopping 52 tracks in all – most of which are short, sweet, and very much to the point.

Great soundtrack music from Japan – tunes made up of romping drums, acoustic and electric guitar, floating flutes, and more – all delivered with a very compelling feel overall! There's the same mix of mod and psyche influences you might find in the best late 60s Italian soundtracks – but unlike most of those classics, the music here is totally fresh – and often put together with odd little twists and turns that are completely unexpected! There's a subtle sense of drama in each of the short tracks here – yet not one that falls into Hollywood cliches, and which is instead free to roam around a world's worth of great musical influences. CD features a whopping 30 tracks in all – and all titles and notes are in Japanese. CD
