LES GANTS BLANCS DU DIABLE...

This one is finally out... & on LP as well!

Dusty Groove America...

"Wicked work from a lesser-known talent on the French soundtrack scene of the 70s -- but one with a great ear for subtle funky touches! Karl Heinz Schafer got his start working on earlier scores with Michel Magne -- and in a way, there's a feel here that's a bit like Magne's best -- that subtle, supple approach to soundtrack funk that often mixes elements of jazz with a harder undercurrent on the bottom! But there's also a groove here that's definitely Karl's own -- a feel that's almost like French sound library work of the period -- with some darker corners at times that really make for a complexity in the music -- as straighter jazz passages merge with more imagistic moments. Instrumentation here includes keyboards, vibes, guitar, sitar, and some nicely compressed electric bass -- plus fuller strings that bring in a slight sense of drama at the best moments -- giving the work some touches of Jean-Claude Vannier's best as well. Titles include "La Victime", "Kidnapping", "Les Gants Blancs", "Couleurs", "Karajan", "Suivi", "L'Accuponcture", "Utopia", "La Valise", and "Accroc".

A must film score my friends, a must!

Looks good. A great cover design.

Dusty Groove is a damn good place to do business. I've purchased from them quite a few times since I began using the internet. Not once have I had any sort of problem with the service.

When your order is shipped they always send an email with a tracking code number.

In 'normal' circumstances i would say something like '...and what about some bonus
material?' but in this case i'm way to happy it got released in the first place. GOOD!
