Basil Kirchin & John Coleman - The New Breed

Outstanding library record from the mighty DeWolfe label. Originally released in 1966, catalogue number DWLP 3019. Kirchin found fame writing scores for films such as The Abominable Dr Phibes but is mentioned by the artists as diverse as Brian Eno and Aphex Twin as the first true pioneer of tape manipulation and electronic sound processing. This album is more in a big band style where Kirchin's roots are - Track 1 is one of my all time favourites.
