James Clarke - Mystery Movie (1974)


Breezy, quietly haunting, jazz-funk-rooted sounds from keyboardist/composer James Clarke. Sweet-ass grooves, breakbeats galore, fuzzed-out guitars -- essentially, a brilliant soundtrack for a blaxploitation or giallo film that never existed. And it looks like it got reissued just a few months ago and there are still copies available -- get yours here.

Track listing:
1. Mystery Prelude
2. Car Patrol (Title Sequence)
3. Breathless
4. Breathless (Short Version)
5. Waiting Game
6. Mystery Moll
7. Mystery Movement
8. The Heavies
9. Dirty Scene
10. Study in Fear
11. Empty Streets
12. Night Watch
13. Foot Patrol
14. Quiet Girl
15. Relaxed Scene
