Right from the opening track BRK 01 is in top gear with action packed themes galore. Driving funk, pulsating beats and frenetic horns all play their part in winning over the discerning listener. Several of the tracks have the qualities of a lost blaxploitation soundtrack or crime show themes. Everything is uptempo, dramatic and oh so fun. I would usually list a few of my favourite songs but there is no point because "Driving Force" is one long showreel of funkiness. It really begs the question as to why there are not Bruton compilations out in the market because this is as good, if not better, than anything you will find on the KPM, Chappell or De Wolfe labels. Thanks to Retrontic for providing the artist names.

    This early Bruton effort is one of Bruton's more compelling statements, before they devolved into cookie-cutter, unmemorable uselessness. Someone's got to rip a higher bit-rate of this one of these days!

    It is a bit of a shame about the bitrate, I think there is only one rip going around and it originated from Diggin On Blue. I try to compensate by turning it up really loud!

    Thanks retro. I had a sneaking suspicion you might come through for me.

    I have the LP so could rip it at some point.

    I changed the name of track 7 from "Contact" to "Conflict" as it appears in your list. Is it your assertion that this is correct?
