It's sometime in the mid-eighties. Eddie Murphy, Don Johnson or some other, over-the-edge cop is driving along in their car or sneaking around an abandoned warehouse, dodging bullets from ponytailed henchmen. You know the noise that happens in the background during these moments? Yes, that's right: funky, repetitive, instrumental stuff. That's what this is.
In those moments it works pretty well, in fact it would go well with the current re-runs of TJ Hooker! However, as music to listen to, or, I imagine, dance in a club to...? Maybe a quiet background soundtrack to a funky new restaurant with snotty waiters serving small portions, but not for my listening pleasure at home. It's not the soundtrack to feeding a baby organic sunshine orange breakfast (although what that is is a mystery to me - answers on a postcard please!).Maybe, like David Holmes, Tim is looking for a career in soundtracks, and if this is so then he'll do well - this would fit in unobtrusively behind most things, but as a stand alone piece of entertainment it falls pretty flat to this reviewer.
