i don't know if this was concept behind it, but this album sounds like the great unreleased (and un asked for) soundtrack to The Black James Bond. Strings, excitement, drama, it's damn cool. not Shaft cool, but martini shaken' not stirred cool. i see the opening sequence with silhouetted naked girls dancing to the tune of Bright Lights Bigger City (it even has the same string coda found in many of John Barry's famous theme musics from bond films). the surf style guitar riff in the opening and closing Lady Killer Theme (the name of my unfilmed Black Bond movie) is reminiscent of the famous 007 theme. Love Gun and Wildflower are perfect for any plot. Heck, they could be the names of the Bond villenesses.
sure it's not all bond music - there is plenty of al green like 70's soul to appeal to those of you looking for that and that works as well.
double 0 soul is just damn cool. worth the download.
