Marty Gold - Skin Tight

"This is a drum album"

"Now don't be alarmed. This doesn't mean it's a succession of bangs and crashes designed to send your neighbours house hunting. Rather it is a virtual catalogue of the infinite diversity of percussion sounds and colours, ranging from the subtle to the sensational. Nine percussionists let loose their talents on several dozen instruments - many of which, we'll wager, you'll be hearing for the first time."

Well, they lost that bet, I own most of the instruments used on this album! But I'm a percussionist. In that sense this album is disappointing and relies on tunes made famous by Gene Krupa, but still a great old record with a terrific cover! This album also comes with a map of the orchestra for the recording session, including the position of each percussionist and the mic's they used. Also, it contains the revolutionary antistatic agent 317X, providing a miracle surface to prevent surface noise AND this is a "New Orthophonic" high fidelity recording. Wow! Listen to it all here.

World Wide TV and Movie Hits/ Broadway Hit Parade

More and more of the greatest tunes being composed today are being written for the screen - and not just the big screen of the cinema, the small TV screen has inspired some truly wonderful tunes too. The film industry is one of the biggest employers of musical talent of all descriptions, and it gives composers the opportunity to express gifts of melody on a grand scale. No other idiom could provide such scope for composers and arrangers who enthusiastically welcome the use of large-scale orchestras which demand rich and colourful arrangements.
