An album that reconstructs film music with an edgy performance.
An instrumental piece by The Ventures, centered around Isaac Hayes' "Theme From Shaft," fusing elements of funk and rock.
The arrangement, which reconstructs the funk groove of the original song with an electric guitar at the forefront, is stunning. The guitar cutting and driving drums stand out, reinterpreting the song with the clear sound that is characteristic of the Ventures. The bass is thick, and the rhythm section has a strong sense of unity. The recording is vivid, with a sound image that is full of live feeling. Side B includes soundtrack tracks from the same period, making it highly entertaining. This work maximizes the expressive power of instrumental rock and conveys the appeal of film music beyond genre.
