V/A - SoHo Lounge Heat


V/A - SoHo Lounge Heat
Label - EMI
Recorded - 60s/70s
Style - Movie Grooves, Crime-Funk, Funk, Soul, Jazz, Dope, Chill, Lee Library

*NOT TO BE SLEPT ON.

(from Score Baby):
The title -- Soho Lounge Heat -- makes this top shelf collection of library music from Cavendish and Boosey & Hawkes studios circa 1969-77 sound like some nu-jazz "chill" collection for the night spot du jour. But be not detered, Soho Lounge Heat delivers cinematic funky grooves of the highest order.

Composed and arranged primarily by Dennis Farnon (along with Trevor Duncan, John Cacavas, Pete Moore, John Scott and Sam Fonteyn), the set may span '69-'77, but the bulk comes from '72 and '74.

Fans of sound library collections like Luke Vibert's Nuggets, Le Jazzbeat, Stereo Ultra and Stroboscopica will really dig this EMI release. There's plenty of throbbing bass, funky drums and a jazzy cinematic vibe that just won't quit.

Some of the titles are telling: "The Trackers," "The Big Score," "Acapulco Connection," "Border Incident," "Shanghai Caper," "The Armenian File," and so on. This is the soundtrack for the movie in your mind.

Thanks for that link, Steve - and thanks everyone else for all the comments. I will keep an eye out for the Film Erotici and let you know if I come across anything...
