"Dramatic Funk Themes Vol.1" digs into the famous Themes International music library and comes up with a bunch of tracks which sound like they've been lifted from the coolest 1970's crime film imaginable. If you enjoy action packed and drama filled library music then this is close to perfection. Themes was co-founded by Alan Hawkshaw and Alan Parker so it's no surprise to find some of their finest tracks featured on this compilation along with other tasty nuggets by David Lindup, Alan Tew, James Clarke and Johnny Pearson. Parker's "Sweeney Todd" is a standout and "Soul Slap" deserves a mention for being one of the few vocal tracks to crop up within the genre. Just like Volume 2 the song selection is spot on and there isn't a weak track to be found. I've listened to this record several times while putting this post together and my appreciation for it grows each time. It's a Grade A winner!
