1976 CINEMATIC THEME CHEESENESS FROM DENMARK

O´HENRY ”TIVOLI” LP

A LITTLE ODD NUGGET FROM DENMARK.

O´HENRY WAS A MEMBER OF THE FAMOUS DANISH BEAT GROUP IN THE 60´S

”SIR HENRY AND HIS BUTLERS”

ON THE BACK OF THE COVER THIS LP HE WRITES THAT HE IS

INSPIRED BY JOHN BARRY AND ENNIO MORRICONE AND WHEN HE LISTENS

TO THIS RECORD HE CAN SURELY HEAR THAT THE COMPOSERS ABOVE

HAVE HAD A BIG INFLUENCE....(WHICH IS QUITE A STRETCH BUT NEVER THE LESS ONE CRUCIAL REASON FOR ME TO PICK THIS UP AT THE FLEEMARKET..)

THE STANDOUT TRACK FOR ME ON THIS LP IS ”PARTY´S OVER”.

MELANCHOLY WITH A KIND OF CINEMATIC FEEL TO IT.

EVEN WITH THE LINER NOTES IT WAS QUITE A SURPRISE FOR ME THAT

THIS ALBUM ACTUALLY HAD SOME QUALITY TO IT... ONE GREAT LITTLE TRACK AT LEAST

PRESENTING :

 "TAKES FROM THE MILK CRATES" - THE MIX

DONTFAKETHEBREAKS PRESENTS : "TAKES FROM THE MILK CRATES". 

I PICKED A COUPLE OF RECORDS FROM ONE OF MY MILK CRATES AND MADE A SHORT MIXTAPE. "TAKES FROM THE MILK CRATES" CONSISTS OF DIFFERENT "DANCE" TRACKS : FUNK/DISCO/AFRO/BOOGIE TUNES, THAT WILL HOPEFULLY MAKE YOUR FINGERS SNAP AND YOUR TOES TAP.
