Product Description
Soho Lounge Heat Volume 2 is another collection of funky cinematic grooves with plenty of throbbing bass, funky drums and rockin' beat jazz cues. If we lived fantasy lives in the 1970's this could well be the soundtrack to that life. Opening with Loose Collar Man by Ray Davies, we are immediately sent on a deadly mission, reaching Syd Dale's Disco Tek and Davies' Down A Dark Street, we could be driving down the highway in an open top Jaguar XKE wondering when we'll next have time to groove, but Steve Gray soon has us Running From Danger, but only for a while! Next up, Dick Walter's Fat Man takes us on a spring walk through the countryside, followed by moonlit dinner on a yacht with Dennis Farnon and his Lady In White. These are just a few of the images evoked by the animated and carefree compositions featured on Soho Lounge Heat volume 2, not even mentioning the suitably sexy cover. There's something for all moods providing the listener has retro style! Names such as Syd Dale, Ray Davies, Steve Gray, Bill Loose and Vic Flick have yet to be raised up to the same iconic level as David Axelrod, but their productions sit just as neatly beside his music, except that they have a lighter, breezier feel than Axelrod's many productions. Their names may not sound familiar but listeners could well have heard the music many times as it may have been used over and over in TV and film as was it's intended purpose, as the throwaway pop music of it's day; timely, catchy and often pleasurably nostalgic. Now their music is sampled by modern music masters to create hip hop, trip hop, blip hop et al.
