A long-overdue collection of work from the legendary Jack Arel -- one of the lesser-known sound library composers of the late 60s and early 70s -- but a true giant in his funky field, as you'll hear by the great music on this set! Arel is French, but he often wrote for British sources -- including the Prisoner TV show -- so his music has a great blend of Parisian pop modes and chunkier London beats -- a style that almost mixes together some of the funkier jazz sensibilities of the sound library generation with the tighter, more romping rhythms that were usually penned for TV and commercial use. The first half of this set features 25 originals by Arel -- some in collaboration with Pierre Dutor or Jean-Claude Petit -- and often done with trippier touches that include fuzzy guitar or funky flute! The second half features remixes of the originals -- tunes that are often a bit longer, and almost restructured as whole new songs. Originals include "Shore Of Sumatra", "Sideral Rhythmic", "De Paris A Liverpool", "Jungle Soul", "Game Trap", "Picture Of Summer", "Train Bleu", "Strange Galaxy", and "Sundown". Remixes include "Drugstore Party" remixed by Le Tone, "Jungle Soul" remixed by Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra, "The Night Squad" by Danny Wild & Goldfinger, "Loco Robo" by Luke Vibert, "Chicago Girl" remixed by Barth, "Electric Railman" remixed Mowo, and "Crystal Abyss" by Telepopmusik. © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
