A very cool KPM from 1969 by Peter Thomas, Derrick Mason and featuring one track from Bryan Daly. As the title suggests the mood is slinky and mysterious with the early songs having bass, drums, organ, sax and flute playing the main roles. "Free Jazz" by Bryan Daly is quite an epic piece in terms of library music, clocking in at 6mins 11secs. It's a fantastic number aswell. However it is the "International" series of tracks by Peter Thomas that will hold the most interest with his freewheeling, off the wall style on full display, ranging in length from 40 seconds to 1min 30secs they pack a lot of punch into such a small amount of time and are highly satisfying. There is even a little of the electronic playfulness that many of us have come to identify Thomas with. It's certainly one of the more unique KPM's and I would highly recommend giving it a listen.
