Without checking I can safely say this KPM by Andy Clark was released around 1984. What gives it away is the extreme level of synth pop cheesiness on display, in fact it has a great deal in common with Bruton records from the same period ( this is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on which side of the fence you sit on ). The electronics are used with skill and Clark certainly displays an ear for a good tune with "Tristar" and "Element Of Risk" being standout tracks. The general themes of achievement and activity are maintained throughout and it proves to be a worthwhile listen, especially for those who love their 80's library music.
Update - Actually it turns out this is from 1979 according to the knowledgeable retronic so it fooled me a bit.

This is a bit of a favourite of mine- I love 'Tristar'. It's from 1979 and crops up in Prisoner Cell Block H from around 1981, i the mid 200's.
Love this stuff. Thanks!
No probs Mike, glad you enjoy.
hey i was wondering if you could re-up the link isn't working :(
