Not as Much Fun as the Title Implies ...

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The Instro-Hipsters a Go-Go! series is a solid collection of 1960's and early 1970'sinstrumentals that would not be out of place in a low budget action thriller, cold war spy thriller and cop dramas - where the streets are dirty, the cops not much cleaner and its' always the hippy drug dealer that did it :-)



But it's not as much fun as the title promises - most tracks tend to fall into the generic - not bad but nothing great. They are solid instrumental tracks that run the gauntlet from 1960's spy brassy tracks to fuzztone guitars for gritty cop dramas.



Most of the performers are not very well known so this is a great opportunity to get access to tracks not easily found find elsewhere but if you want the fun, slightly kitschy brassy and over the top 1960's cinema tracks that you are probably looking for (and what the title implies) - a better bet are the Italian cinema collections like EASY TEMPO or BEAT AT CINECITTA.



Get those first and then come back for these."
