Notes
Here we go! Dramatic Funk Themes Vol. 1 is another great library music compilation and showcases some cool (mostly previously unreleased) funky, jazzy, easy and groovy tracks from the archives of the Themes International Music Library.
The Themes International Library was founded in 1973 as an offshoot to its parent company KPM by England's elite studio session musicians Alan Parker, Alan Hawkshaw, Mike Moran and Barry Morgan. The sounds and arrangements from the Themes Library were way ahead of their time, with their classic breaks and beats, and remain today on the most wanted lists of rare groove collectors, DJs and hip-hop producers alike. Also worth noting is that, in addition to the recordings made in London, some were put to tape in Munich with the support of none less than the brass section of the Max Greger Orchestra!
As with all library records, the Themes International Library LPs were never available for purchase by the general public and were pressed in small quantities solely for the purposes of supplying music samples to the radio, television, film and production houses.
Dramatic Funk Themes Vol. 1 finally unearths these rare musical gems! Good stuff.
