"An album of television library music from Brian Bennett, one time drummer with The Shadows. For any fan of 70s TV music I can't recommend this enough. With horns, strings and a rock rhythm section, it's all here - crime jazz/funk to romantic themes and most points inbetween.
Most of it could have come from any number of classic 70s cop shows. Standout tracks include: Sidetrack, Metropolis Suite Part 1 and Glass Tubes. Depending on your mood, there really isn't a weak track here. Outstanding value for money.

"You would think from the cover art this would be funkier.
Aim High is pretty cool program music from 70s cop shows. Interesting, then, that this gets into an almost Iassic Hayes-Barry White orchestral feel more than it does screeching wha whas. This may be art, but remember: IT-WAS-MADE-FOR-THE-TV.
If you have not heard this type of music in a long time, you may want to check this out. It definately sounds better now than it did in the 70s, when this music was, very unjustly, considered cheese.
If, though, you collect program music, this blends in: a problem when buying this genre because it all bleeds together into one big undistinguishable bell bottom afro after a while. This is fine, but not a standout."
