Reissue of
The Hunter (Drama Suite) / Adventure Story
, originally released in 1975. They say: "Composite themes and incidental cues for dramatic application". Be With Records say: Well, it's definitely dramatic. No wonder this LP was mined by a multitude of '70s and '80s crime shows. Much like Beat Incidental, this true gem includes a raft of enjoyable sub-ten second incidental cues alongside satisfyingly stretched out, hard-knocking sleuth-funk.
The Hunter (Drama Suite) / Adventure Story
is a real library-head's library album. You'll be treated to some of the best works of no less than five different heavyweights of the genre: drummer
Brian Bennett
, guitarist
Clive Hicks
(of
The Gentle Rain
), saxophonist
Duncan Lamont
, rock bassist
Dave Richmond
, and keyboard session giant
Steve Gray
. Something of a dream line-up, they each contributed stellar efforts to create one of the most sought-after of the legendary KPM albums. Both sides of this LP are dripping with insidious grooves and dramatic spy-score themes, bursting with heavy guitars, swirling flutes, creeping piano-funk, and drum breaks galore. Originally released in 1975, it's clear that these library heroes were heavily influenced by the tough funk and street soul sonics emerging from the cutting-edge Blaxploitation soundtracks. Dave Richmond's taut swagger and wah-wah guitar licks of "Nightwatch", Steve Gray's sleazy horn and clav-funk on the A-side opener "Theme For A Hunter" and Brian Bennett's rolling strut of "The Investigator" are just three of the highlights here. That last one being sampled by
Jeff Jank
under his
Captain Funkaho
guise on "My 2600" for Stones Throw back in 1999. As with all of Be With Records' KPM re-issues, the audio for
The Hunter (Drama Suite) / Adventure Story
comes from the original analog tapes and has been remastered by
Simon Francis
. Sleeve reproduction duties by
Richard Robinson
, the current custodian of KPM's brand identity. 180 gram vinyl.
