Free Music Review: Orchestral Funk at its Swankiest ! ! !
Hit: 5 Stars

The Liner Notes explain the album but don't really do it justice...They say, "This album is the first in a planned series that will explore the world of some of the most exciting *mood* music ever recorded." (*my emphasis.) - - Mood music... it that British slang for Groove and Funk ??? True, at the time this was marketed as ultra high fidelty quadraphonic lounge music... State of the art recordings to really test out that groovy bachelor pad stereo system on.... but in the end, what does it come down to... Orchestral Funk. 101 Strings was mood music... This is GROOVY baby !

The tracks, recorded between 1968 and 1976 mostly at Abbey Road Studio 2 featuring most of the best session men of the era features material similar to what you'd expect to find on the ULTRA LOUNGE SERIES, but with a heck of a lot more swank and groove... Yes, the strings and lush orchestra are there, but so too are mad *rse percussion, Shaft like guitars and other Jazzy, Disco, funk groove (and yes, there's some swanky Hammonds, brass and lot of ultra pumping Sergio Mendez meets Van McCoy meets spy movie type funk.)

As for the groups (or should I say "orchestras") present are The Dave Pell Singers, Mandingo, Alan Parker, Alan Hawkshaw, Neil Richardson, John Gregory, John Cameron, Keith Mansfield, Alan Morehouse and his Bond Street Brigade, Denny Wright and the Hustlers, Paddy Kingsland, Syd Dale, Brian Bennett, Allan Tew and the Joe Loss Concertium. - - Do I know half these guys ? Admittedly no... but that's what makes this CD so great... all the great discoveries...

I don't know if the folks at EMI and the DJs who picked out the tunes on this album have gotten around to Volume 2 yet, but I darn sure hope they have... or will...

Plenty of delights... musical kiche as well as some really interesting arrangemental hooks. -- Will music like this ever be made again ??? Probably not... and its a darn darn darn shame ! and listening to this wonderful music will make you want to close your eyes and dream that you're banging Claudine Longet or Cynthia Myers circa 1969 (not now, they've probably gotten quite old by now.) I guess that's what the liner notes meant by Mood Music !
