Looks like I drew the crazy straw this week. Basil Kirchin....brand new LP on Trunk called 'Abstractions of The Industrial North' which is the soundtrack to a film which doesn't exist. It's from the 60's originally and it's much less crazy than Quantum. It's a pretty fantastic romantic sounding soundtrack album which is really beautiful at times. Makes me think of Broadcast at times 'n all.... Classy

The complete album “Abstractions Of The Industrial North” is on this recordings, and we have added a selection of recordings from other rare Kirchin, Jack Nathan and John Coleman productions, including The wild One, Don't Lose Your Cool, Town Beat and finally “Mind On The Run”. These are all ten inch De Wolfe releases, are exceptionally rare and includes some incredible session musicians, including Jimmy Page and Big Jim Sullivan.

As library music goes, Abstractions is unlike any other recording. It's possibly the most beautiful but worst library music ever made, in the way that it doesn't adhere to or follow any normal library music genre. It is wonderfully sad unforgettable music, with the signature Kirchin hypnotic grooves stirring it all up every now and again.
