Exciting Sounds Of Tomorrow

It's Pete Moore's "Exciting Sounds Of Tomorrow"! Wow... seems like tomorrow we will all have BIG HAIR. But what are the sounds of tomorrow like? Weird electronic robot choirs? Wah wah xylophone? Orchestrated grunting and hissing?

Nope. The future, as depicted here, consists of a lot of the more laid back side of easy listening (like covers of "Witchita Lineman" and "Fool On The Hill"). None of the Pete Moore albums I've heard could be described as raucous, and this has... no futuristic electronic weirdness.

Mostly soothing, then, but the outstanding feature of this album is the amazing soul strut of "Catwalk". Funky bass and drums topped with jazz flute, marimba, harp, brass, synth -- a real ten out of ten instrumental (it appeared on the Karminsky "In Flight" compilation some years ago).
