The Children Of Scorpio

A few days ago I had an e-mail correspondence with our good friend Drew and he recommended an album to me that was really new to me. Project Gemini is the project of London based musician, producer and writer Paul Osborne. On The Children Of  Scorpio offers a tribute to Lalo Schifrin and the music of his soundtracks. Many will know the main title of Mission Impossible and Bullit in the early 70's. Osborne got the spirit of those vintage soundtracks and added ingredients of acid-folk and a whole of psych-funk to a totally new and exciting sound. I didn't excepted something like this but this is great, new and fascinating. Probably an album that could appear on many year ends lists.

Dropping Lalo Schifrin here there should be also played his fantastic soundtrack of Bullit at this place once again.

As well as the legendary car race in San Francisco from Bullit.

Lalo Schifrin

Yesterday I wrote some little sentences about series and the music that belonged to them. After typing these words I remembered some famous soundtracks of the 70's. The music was written by Lalo Schifrin, an Argentinian born musician, composer and conductor who wrote so many soundtracks of movies we used to watch these days. Most of them are classics now and I still love this sound between funk, jazz, soul borrowings and rock. I grew up with his music and it is still worth to listen to them from time to time.
