THAT INSTRUMENTAL VIBE
In years gone by instrumental tracks were big business and among some of the best selling tracks of all time, for example worldwide number ones like Telstar by The Tornadoes or Apache by The Shadows. It’s no surprise these sold so many records worldwide because an instrumental can capture the imagination and the emotions of anyone and has no language barrier.
The early 60’s was a golden period for instrumentals but the 70’s and 80’s had equally memorable hits like Popcorn, Eye Level (Van der Valk Theme), Morricone's Chi Mai (The Professionals Theme), Axel F, Breezin’, Hocus Pocus, Chariots of Fire and many many others.
What most people don’t realise is there is still a big market out there for instrumental music. No-one demonstrates this quite like Ennio Morricone who is particularly well known for his Spaghetti Western scores, quite apart from his many other soundtracks and compositions. Morricone won two Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, five Anthony Asquith Awards for Film Music by BAFTA in 1979–1992 and the Polar Music Prize in 2010. His instrumental music is just about everywhere. His score for Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West is one of the top 5 best-selling original instrumental scores in the world today, with up to 10 million copies sold. He still sells millions.
At Future Legend Records we discovered just how popular instrumental music was. Our versions of Morricone's Come Madalenna and For a Few Dollars More are incredibly popular with our fans. You can check out the track listings and more info on our Cult TV and Film Themes page.
It has often been said that FLR’s Box Office Poison tracks sound equally as good as instrumentals. Some of their tracks have been likened to Ennio Morricone’s music, so it’s no surprise there was a demand for their instrumentals. The band takes up a fair bit of That Instrumental Vibe but many other exclusive gems are found on this 20 track compilation, including the last track Ministry of Ska released, Ska Surfin at 5-0 and several Bond theme instrumentals. These really show off composer John Barry’s superb talent as well as that of our artists who have interpreted the themes in their own new and vibrant ways.
The album is produced by Russell C. Brennan (aka Writer), a huge fan of instrumentals, soundtracks and themes. At times Russell has been called the new Joe Meek because of his unusual attitude towards making music. Russell has been listed in the top 20 most innovative record producers so you can expect something a little bit different and a little bit special on this album.
With good music always required for public licensing, TV and advertising we expect That Instrumental Vibe to do well for many years to come.
