Summer Job (1989) Soundtrack

 

     when i first popped Summer Job into my vcr many years ago, i wasn't expecting much. well, i was blown away. fantastic sex comedy and a great soundtrack to match! oddly this soundtrack was only released on vinyl in Canada, and i've been waiting for one to pop up cheap. well that never happened so i just got the cassette. the sleeve mentions a cd but i've never seen it. some great tracks throughout, including the catchy theme. but the real standout is the Orkestra stuff. they also preform in the film. i'd never heard them before, had to go out and get their stuff. enjoy!

More To Come!

Les Délices Du Tossing (1983)

     threw this one on a couple days ago. right away i was taken aback by the great theme song, and by the fact that it's a french film but the song is sung in german. super catchy disco track. the man suppling the music for the film is Raymond Bacharach, and he does a heck of a job. some great disco, funk and rock tracks on here. was too good not to go out an compile the soundtrack. enjoy!

The Flakes - Straight Jacket 7" (2004)

in honour of my favourite website, here's a 7" release from The Flakes // Drummer. kbdrecords was the site that influenced me back in high school to make my own site and talk about/rip my own records. sadly the site is gone now, at least you can still see it on the wayback machine. when Peter posted this on the site, only the first track was available, and everyone said it wasn't for them. me being 15 at the time i went along with that, even though i loved it. i secretly liked it the whole time and wish i had the courage back them to say it. anyway i'm saying it now, what a great record! never heard the b-side until i bought it, and was delightfully surprised how good it was. just some great driving power pop! rip kbd!

Sonoton - Disco (1980)

     always forget about Quango & Sparky, can't really say i've listened to that many Sonotons really. i do like Narholz and Fiddy a lot though. this is great, just a bunch of disco as the title suggests. favourite track is definitely 'Never Say Forever', which brings back memories of Seka for Christmas. 'Gogo West' and 'San Fran Jubilee' are really good too. a couple clunkers, the rock ones, but overall it's a winner.

Selected Sound - Match-Ball (1981)

     might be my favourite library record, this thing is amazing. the polish library stuff is always my favourite. Zbigniew Gorny and his orchestra really killed it. it's hard to imagine a more perfect song then 'Magma'. that minute long buildup intro, then dropping the funkiest damn thing i've ever heard. not far behind is the title track, then 'Oversea Flights', 'Newport' and 'Net Service'. all of them funky disco dreams. i bought this thing in 2014 for 6 euros, what bang for your buck, and it still looks to be as affordable as then. bury me with this record.
