Wow! What a great album! If you haven't yet picked it up, you might reward yourself by doing so.
I speak of VILLA RIDES, as in the brand new recording just issued by Tadlow. What a winner! Crisp, tight sonics. Terrific stereo imaging, guitars are solid, percussion is spot on... it sounds like Jarre! And the score is a fun one.
Tadlow is the product of James Fitzpatrick, who seems to have a passion for not only Jarre but that wonderful sixties era when great soundtracks came at us from all directions. I met James in London when Intrada recorded RIO CONCHOS. He mentioned his love of Jarre back then. It shows. He also wrote our notes for THE NIGHT OF THE GENERALS around that time.
No, I'm not a PR person for James. But his new VILLA RIDES does that job very nicely! It hits the bullseye!
