Featuring a marked epic accent and a schizophrenic middle-age influence, with orchestral percussive elements, choirs and a synthetic brass section that create a quirky and fantasy-like setting. Great for over the top ancient battles and medieval sieges.

The Art of Being Sneaky
Pink Panther-esque jazz instrumental. Double Bass jazz motif tip-toes across the track, joined by clipped hand drums, Rhodes piano keyboard sound and sound effects. Mysterious, playful and suspenseful, perfect for an onscreen intrigue or a pastiche of retro whodunnits.
13 sec version available.
Never Wanna Say
Synth pads and grooving hi-hat introduce a bold kick. Evolves by the book into an early house classic with 808 snares and claps. At 1:48 muted synth chords start stabbing the air, gradually building tension until dropping into a tight groove. Reminiscent of the music to “Good life” by Inner City, with better production. Retro, confident and driving. Vox version has a soulful male voice (Elliot Chapman).
Enter Atari
Quirky 80s synth track with 8 bit video game vibes and bouncy beats. Fast, fun and fizzling with energy, suitable for a playful, upbeat advert or kids TV interlude.
Letter to Val
Solo slide guitar track. Slow, expressive acoustic guitar in an improvised style. Free rhythm with a plodding feel, melodies emerging from the swampy atmosphere. Moved to higher register slides for a finish. Chilled, calm and nostalgic, a retro American-style blues track with heart and soul, perfect for factual documentaries, nature programmes or peaceful adverts.
Lunch On Us
Synth organ track. Dreamy, retro chords and motorik bass with rhythmic acoustic guitar and plonky glockenspiel melodies. Happy, uplifting and carefree, gradual crescendo with orchestral strings and upbeat drums. Sound like Au Revoir Simone, perfect for fun, family adverts or indie TV films/dramas.
Moody
Romantic Spanish guitar track. Emotional piano and steamy Spanish guitar serve up a generous helping of schmaltzy romance. Joined by synth orchestration, bringing Twin Peaks-levels of strange, dreamy, acid-hued nostalgia. Idyllic and sun-soaked with danger lurking in the shadows, like an episode of Sunset Beach. Perfect for retro romance TV scenes, nightmarish dream sequences.
