Another classic of the KPM 1000 series, "Flamboyant Themes" was popular enough to spawn a couple of sequels and it's easy to hear why. It's a difficult album to pin down in terms of an overall sound, maybe mod-jazz with pop flourishes? There is also a crime jazz feel to the opening few tracks.

The library A List is here with Mansfield, Pearson, Hawkshaw and Lindup all showing off their skills. There are about a dozen short cues in this collection. Out of the "full length" tracks the highlights are many and varied, "Continent Of The Americas" is an 84 second delight while "Power Montage" has a wicked drum and bass platform for it's fanfare to work off. Tracks 14-16 with their South American influence are thoroughly enticing and "Young Set" is featured here with a slightly more rock n roll version than the one that appears on "Sound Gallery" under the title of "Young Scene".

Can't get enough of these KPMs. There are so many library LPs from here to Bruton and beyond that it's staggering.

I have been meaning to get some Russ Meyer music to put on here. Will get around to it one day.

Trust me, I'm no expert either! Just got plenty of passion. That's all you need anyway.
