Over many backbreaking and expensive months in 2020, the beating heart of ATA records was stripped, monolithic bits of kit were pulled from dusty corners and into the light to learn their fate: resettlement in the new ATA or sold off, to pay for the studio's rejuvenation. Tough decisions were made but the end product was worth the sacrifice. ATA now has natural light, some very swish carpeting, new soundproofing and even a sofa, surprisingly tasteful, in the, now, spacious, control room. No more sitting on rickety stools and balancing a coffee on your knee. Once the studio began to take shape again and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeil Innes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was finally able to take a breath he began rooting through the label's archives, pulling out reels that had been propping up tables, holding open doors and generally lurking in nooks and crannies for years. It didn't take long for Neil to realize how special some of these snippets of the past were, especially some of the vocal outings with his former \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLove of the Brave\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e band mate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFuzzy Jones\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

This is what happens when all three decide to explore the latest trends in production music. The latest as of 1976, of course. Fiddy's numbers are sumptuous, string-led and light.

Be With has worked with the hallowed KPM to re-issue ten of our favorites from across the KPM 1000 Series and the Themes International Music catalogue, currently under KPM stewardship. Whether it's killer soul-funk, sweet jazz-samba, scuzzed-up guitars or accidental Balearic beauty, these records include some of the most innovative work from some of the most talented composers and musicians of the 20th century. These records were never readily available, being originally released as a ready-made, affordable alternative to commissioning music for television and radio.

A real highlight is \"Runaway\", and not just because it sounds like nothing else on the record. Here are drums and percussion in that tight funk style that just cries out to be sampled. \"Percussion Power\" is an extended, near three-minute suite of funky drum solo after funky drum solo that just aches to be looped. \"Shivers\" is a tense, apprehensive underscore with shock stabs that builds to a climax whilst \"Drums On Parade\" is a showcase of head-nod drums and cymbals in march time. \"Samba Street\" is riotous, authentically drawn samba that sounds like it's been beamed straight in from Rio in full flow. The simple, innocent \"Child's Themes\" (all five of them) provide a nice, sweet respite from all the funk. Nursery sounds tinged with only a touch of melancholy. The gentle marimba solo of \"Tropical Peace\" only adds to the sense of serenity we get from the relatively calm second side. The album closes out with a veritable toolkit of tom toms, snare drum rolls, timpani, vibraphones and chiming bells. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePercussion Spectrum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a joyous collection of sounds, as bright, beaming and downright funky as the vibrant cover.

But the real highlight of this cult classic -- and why it has long been so desirable -- is the devastating, deep, hypnotic minimalist groove of \"Bass In Action N°1\". Very much in conversation with Quincy's rendition of \"Hummin'\", the loping, rumbling bassline and sweet electric piano over clean, crisp drums making it one of those tracks that sounds like a hip-hop beat 20 years ahead of time. \"Bass In Action N°2\" features Tonio's own vocal scat performance.

It makes \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMoonshade\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e the perfect precursor and accompaniment to Barbara Moore's eternal classic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eVocal Shades And Tones\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMoonshade\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a phenomenal showcase of Brit maestro Webb's own roots in jazz. Those roots are served up here with a plethora of fast-stepping rhythms that truly give flight to the vocals of Barbara Moore, as they soar in wonderful ways. Moore sings wordlessly throughout, allowing her voice to act like another instrument in concert with the horns and keyboards elevating the fine arrangements. This is a deeply beautiful record.

From the same pair, \"Forbidden Fruit\" is, again, string-drenched but the strings are more insistent, stabbing even, and, with drums and Blaxploitation guitars high up in the mix, it's definitely a funkier proposition. \"The Enchantress,\" again a Rees-Gold special, is a slower, groovy, synthy wonder. Closing out the A-Side, \"Phenomena\" is a mysterious gem, a Gold solo effort set at a breezier tempo with propulsive percussion and head nod, fast-paced breaks with ace keys.

It's by turns billowy and blasting. \"Cubist Pictures\" follows, Neil Richardson's brilliant nebulous, fragmentary piece. Better yet, Richardson's gorgeous, beatless \"Analysis\" follows, and it's an orchestral beauty featuring cello, harps and woodwind. It's no exaggeration to describe this as transcendental.

So, beat-makers, get cracking. Born in 1949, Bastow was a Munich-based English songwriter and record producer. Originally working as a guitarist and pianist in dance bands around his home county of Yorkshire, he moved to London in the early 1970s and then Munich in around 1976. He was one of the main architects of the Munich disco sound of electronic innovator Giorgio Moroder and also released heaps of killer library records for legendary labels like Bruton, Impress, JW Music Library and the Munich-based Sonoton between the 1970s-2000s. Bastow died tragically young, in Berlin, Germany on 16 March 2007, at the age of just 57. But he left behind a truly incredible electronic music legacy. He deserves to be much better known and this reissue should bring him to a fair few more ears.

It's one of the most consistent libraries you'll ever hear, packed with heavy blaxploitation-esque drama-funk break themes. It opens with the feel-good, breezy piano beat number \"Little Big John\" before switching up to modern sweeping orchestral with heavy drums on the warm, deeply emotive \"Summer Friend.\" Total highlight \"Hammerhead\" is as heavy as you'd want, from a track so-titled.

Up next, \"Crimson\" is melodic, plaintive and moodily introspective; a soft, oboe-enhanced instrumental of delicate beauty. The expansive title track, \"Great Day\" is melodic and bold; a horn-fueled, mid-tempo rhythmic workout which builds to rather big end. Rounding out this first side, \"Hard Crust\" ups the ante with thrilling wah-wah funk-rock, a dramatic, pounding and aggressive thriller. Side B opens with the steady, stealthy crime-funk of \"Highball\" before segueing brilliantly into the Hammond-laced relentless flute-funk of the driving \"Bora.\" The powerful wah-wah wonderful \"Hold Back\" is haunting orchestral funk-rock, sampled by Madlib, El-P, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRakim\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSean Price\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and The Alchemist.

Side 2 opens with the car chase swag of Haseley's dramatic, driving \"Precinct\". Haseley's rolling \"Sidewinder Version 1\" is robust and exuberant with bouncy horns before a cracking Parker-Hawkshaw one-two featuring the tense \"Pressure\" and the deeply soulful \"Call Me\", a relaxed, medium-tempo organ feature.

Working under the \"Lee Mason\" alias, Pete Moore used the format to explore a wide palette of sounds: funky rhythm sections, fat horns, bumping bass lines, and catchy melodies that reveal both sophistication and swing. Across its eleven tracks, the album moves seamlessly between funky grooves, jazzy arrangements, and cinematic moods. \"Shady Blues\" in particular has become a cult favorite among crate-diggers, its slow-burning groove later sampled by Madlib for the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLootpack\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e track \"Answers\" featuring \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuasimoto\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, giving the piece new life in the spheres of hip-hop and digging culture.
