Richard Hill is the mastermind behind this Bruton which takes advantage of a full orchestra to create an expansive, tense and intriguing musical score. I use the word 'score' because this is about as cinematic as library music can get and belies the reputation that Bruton sometimes has for being lightweight. I had no trouble listening to this from start to finish however I might suggest removing the links in order to get the most of the collection. It may not be funky but it's a hell of a experience.

Actually, it's a good thing that not everything is built around funk music. Library music was always about showcasing a wide array of music styles (so as to attract a broad range of licensing, e.g. film and television). Bruton, while maybe not as prominent in the market as KPM, was still one of the best library catalogs and very consistant in quality.

I have to admit I'm a sucker for the covers, it's a bit like collecting trading cards and Bruton's tend to have that X factor which KPM's sometimes don't possess. Records like this and "Thriller", "Auturbine" etc. really prove that the Brits knew how to make great library music. Some people are much more enamoured with the French artists but just look at how much of the KPM and Bruton library has actually fulfilled it's purpose and made a significant impact on t.v in particular.
