"Classical Concussion" contains a variety of action and drama themed tracks that incorporate stringed instruments with funky guitar and drums. Quite a bit of this music reminds me more of Bruton's BRK or BRH series rather than KPM's I've heard before. There is certainly a bit of 80's cheesiness lurking around but Monkman is a skilled composer and there's often unexpected and intriguing detours such as on the barnstorming "Power Games" ( co written with Malcolm Ironton ). "Classical Revival" is excellent and has a super groovy undercurrent and I also particularly liked the lush but restrained "Sheer Release" which has a bit of a crime funk vibe.
This isn't the best KPM by a long shot but it has some worthwhile elements and a couple of hidden gems. Cheers to the uploader.
