We have reached the end of the line. because I don't think I'm going to find those Shadows and Maya Angelou CDs in my storage unit. Goddammit! I swear to God, I'm going to sell this fucking albatross of a collection if it's the last thing I do!
Ahem...on to today's presentation. "Futuremuzik" was Scamp's last in a run of 24 releases over four years, a single drop in 1998. It features a survey of German composer Peter Thomas's film and television music from the late 60s and early 70s. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the lowest seller in the catalog, in part because this is less a Crippled Dick Hot Wax reissue of German exploitation music, and more a precursor to late 90s "boutique hotel" music. The liner notes call out artists like Pulp, Air, and Towa Tei as being influenced by Thomas's work. I'll cosign that; this is a definite bridge from 60s exotica to 90s downtempo. As obscure as this may be our presumed audience of musical perverts, I think it's going to fit right into all of our collections, and serves as a great capstone to Ashley Warren's goal to bring folks to these lost, easy sounds.
