“Exciting and creative compositions combining elements of the past present and future recorded in both natural and studio acoustics.”
We are going ‘off piste’ with this one. I’ve straight ripped both sides of this record and copied out the track list below. I couldn’t find this to listen to anywhere else on the internet so here you go. Descriptions of the tracks range from ‘Pulsating bass underlay with distant brass and effects’ to ‘Hypercharge Exhilarating optimistic action sequence with synthesizer lead’ and ‘descriptive of great expanse.’ I’m sure you get the idea. Pitchfork gave a brief overview of what KPM Recorded Library is all about here.
