Futuremusik

a review by simon hopkins of
release format Futuremusik by Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra (CD Album)

text

More unearthed, unlikely gems from kitschedelic paleontologists Scamp. Organist and bandleader Peter Thomas, was, according to this handsomely-packaged collection's sleeve notes, to Germany what Mancini was to the US, Morricone to Italy, John Barry to the UK and Jean Jacques Perry to France. Rather grand claims, and not entirely born out here, but for all that, Futuremusik is well worth a listen, if only to see what kind of music spawned the careers of, among others, Jan "Miami Vice" Hammer, Sigi "Vampyros Lesbos" Schwab and Amon Duuel II's Lothar Meid. This collection brings together work written in the 60s and 70s for sundry German TV sci-fi and horror productions. What really impresses here is the range of the sound palette, from surf guitar to jazz organ, psychedelic electronics to lush string orchestras: James Last on acid. A blast.
