  1. Peter Gunn (Turntable Detective) by The Killergroove Formula

    I’ve always loved Henry Mancini. His music is timeless and it’s got a hip factor to it in a cheesy way. I often seek out remakes of Mancini’s works and this one especially caught my ear.

    I got it off of the compilation Lounge Records Sampler, Vol. 2 – Past, Present & Future. It’s a decent compilation with the stand out cut being the Peter Gunn track by The Killergroove Formula. There’s also a remix by Fort Knox Five of Are You Talking To Me??? by Torpedo Boyz, Flight Over Rio by Timax and a cover (I like covers if you haven’t guessed already) of Harvest For The World by Seductive Souls which is a cover of the Isley Brothers original.

    This remake or cover is quite good if not better than the original. It’s fast and quite upbeat with a quirky retro sounding electronic dance beat. What do you think? The original is still quite good but this is great too.

    Check out this live orchestral performance of Mr. Henry Mancini doing his classic Peter Gunn Theme. It’s pretty cool! The guy is one of my all time favorite musicians!

  2. Europa And The Pirate Twins by Sondre Lerche

    I love the original of Europa And The Pirate Twins by Thomas Dolby. Even more than his bigger hit She Blinded Me With Science which as a kid I despised. It absolutely drove me crazy! But Europa And The Pirate Twins was awesome. Perfect synth Euro pop!

    The original Europa And The Pirate Twins is off of the album The Golden Age Of Wireless album that also included the song She Blinded Me With Science. An awesome 80s classic worth owning if you don’t.

    I do like this version by Sondre Lerche. It’s updated nicely but still doesn’t stand up to the original by Thomas Dolby. What do you think?

    It’s on the single to Say It All which you can order from Amazon.
