Notes
Wow! What's going on with all these contemporary records inspired by classic library records?
Last year saw the release of the fantastic Music and Rhythm - and now along comes the equally great Music for Film, Television and Radio Vol 1!
Music for Film, Television and Radio Vol 1 from Harmonic 33, aka Mark Pritchard (Trouble Man, Reload, Global Communications) & Dave Brinkworth, is a world away from the exotic hip hop they're known for and harks back to the early days of 60s and 70s electronic library music, the kind of music the duo may have sampled in their previous work
Music for Film, Television and Radio Vol 1 masterfully spans the depth and breadth of the library music of KPM, De Wolfe and Chappell, the electric eclectics of Dick Hyman and Jean Jacques Perrey, but with the glorious gloss and wide screen vision of the classic movie soundtracks of John Barry, Ennio Morricone and Lalo Schifrin.
Instead of taking the easy road and making an album by sampling other people's records, Pritchard and Brinkworth pay their dues by brilliantly capturing the vintage and dynamic of the records they love. Any sampled instruments - harpsichord, flute and harp for instance, were played live and then expertly recorded, allowing the natural atmosphere of the studio to seep in and lend the compositions a layer of warm, dusty depth.
