Reissue of this 1967 soundtrack. "The rediscovery of Peter Thomas is one of the happiest results of the renewed interest in space age pop and exotica. Like Esquivel, Thomas was always known to a few ultra-hip fans, but went unnoticed by labels, listeners, and pop historians, and it's only thanks to the pioneering work of a handful of champions at tiny labels that we can now recognize and celebrate his wonderful music. Here is a selection of soundtracks he made for the Edgar Wallace and Jerry Cotton movies in the 60's."

"Original soundtrack recordings by the Peter Thomas Sound-Orchester for a series of Crime Dramas by noted director Edgar Wallace (keep repeating to yourself, mantra style, 'Klaus Kinski... Klaus Kinski... Klaus...') dated 1961-1966. This music predates the already proven Raumpatrouille themes by quite a few years, and fails not to raise a few hairs/hackles within the dermal structure/spinal column of prospective auditioneers. Those w/o a taste for the finer points in life (bumper cars, ripe malangas, flag day...) need not shed an ounce of moisture pining over the relative importance of these leitmotives as compared to, say, Can. I can't think of a single individual who can resist crime-related mouth emittance (screaming, death moans, gangster yalps, etc..) & their resultant overtones (post-echoplex) gracing the 'space' throughout druggy/spiralled (& often dissonant) beat-jazz/plated E-bass epics. No one. Completely in it's own element/orbit. You're all looking ten years to late for the 'meat'. Classy." -- Hrvatski.
