STREET LEVEL .Alan Parker, Mike Moran, etc. THEMES TIM 1037



"Contemporary themes and underscores for urban and dramatic subjects". With no doubt one of the best Themes library albums. Great jazz- fusion instrumentals in side A, more electronic insistent sounds in side B by the famous Alan Parker. Very recommended. Here

ELECTRONIA/HAIR RAISERS. Theme Music JW402


Split album from the Josef Weinberger library. "Electronia" features odd vintage electroacoustic atmospheres by W. Merrick Farran and Edgar Vetter, 50 s science fiction film soundtrack-alike.
Side two (from track 8) is absolutely different, pop- attitude rhythms with fairly repetitive melodies. One of my all-time lib favourites!. Link
