Hello everyone and welcome to another KPMPK1001 Review! Today's review will focus one one of the most famous library albums made by two legendary library composers. It's Mind on the Run by Basil Kirchin and John Coleman!
Released in 1966, this album consists of 24 tracks, all of which are composed by Kirchin and Coleman. The album features mostly jazz compositions with short links being added at the end of each side. Almost every track on the album features musical references to the first track "Mind on the Run".
When you talk about legendary library composers, one name that always shows up is Basil Kirchin. Kirchin's compositions for De Wolfe are some of the best pieces of library music I have ever listened to and this album proves it. In addition, the collaboration between him and John Coleman on this record helps to boost each track.
Favorite Tracks: The opening track "Mind on the Run" is an amazing opener that sets the tone of the album. The track reminds me a lot of the "Wall of Sound" type of sound that was common in the late 60s. Another track that I like is the track "Paranoia", a fast paced track that helps to boost the album a lot.
Overall, this is one of my favorite De Wolfe albums to listen to. This album is an absolute classic with each track contributing greatly to the overall album. I love this album and am happy that it is available on streaming services.
But that will do it for now! What do you guys thinks of this album? What are you guys' favorite tracks?
Thank you guys so much for reading and I will see you guys in the next review!
