This fantastic collection of De Wolfe music was put out on the Irma La Douce label and has a particularly Italian vibe despite the mainly British line up of composers. Funk and jazz play a strong part ( "Forgotten Dream", "Funky Spider", "See The Light", "Party People", "I'm Feather", "Bright Spark", Harlem Globetrotter" ) however there is plenty more to enjoy with compilation favourites "Down Home", "Trip Wire" and "Grey Sigh" featuring. The tracks are mainly uptempo, breakbeats and funky solos flow freely and there is a lot of fun to be had as well ( "Cool Character" being a prime example ). Despite, or maybe because, of it's differences it makes a great companion piece to "Bite Hard: The Music De Wolfe Sampler". It truly is a must have library music collection and one that I have long treasured.

Thanks again Mr. Craig.
This is without doubt the best VA library comp released! I bought the cd when it came out (must be over 10 years ago now). My partner at the time was a director/producer of corporate videos (I always think of Alan Partridge when I hear that word!). She used a couple of the tracks from this for a staff training video for a well known department store chain!
I've added some dialogue to Roger Webb's 'Grey Sigh', to give it a Blaxploitation edge! Hope you enjoy it!
You can hear my mix of the Odessa File Theme too!
Thanks again!

Cheers Budd. I can remember back to 1999 waiting patiently, checking the mailbox each day for this to turn up from the U.S. It was well worth it. However for pure listening pleasure I probably prefer Bite Hard to this one (just). Thanks for the remixes, I'm just about to download them now.
DGA mail order no doubt.I used to order cd's off them every week for years! They are still the best music website in the world; offering a great precis on each album and a very good search box to look for hidden gems!!
Yo! Great Page! Kool Stuff! Thanks! Greetings From Germany!
hey, did anyone notice that the track 'Drum Time' by Anton Valotti is a drums only version of his composition 'Spiro' which can be found on the compilation Bite Hard?
No, I hadn't noticed that. Well spotted!
