Wow, I'd love to give a listen to some of that so-called "crime jazz". Can you suggest any titles, cuts, or artists I might look for? I'm imagining some sexy sax solos right out of a 40's noir soundtrack. —Matt Crunk Founder: North Alabama Surf Alliance (NASA) |

As far as comps go, these two (both on Rhino) are out of print, but they pop up on eBay pretty frequently:
This one's also out of print, but I think Crypt Records' mailorder still has it on CD (or LP at the least): For soundtrack stuff, I'd check out Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn" and "Experiment in Terror," Duke Ellington's "Anatomy of a Murder," Elmer Bernstein's "The Man With the Golden Arm," and, for a somewhat lighter take, Joseph Mullendore's "Honey West." Happy hunting, -Warren —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |

this is available (as well as a lot of other cool stuff) on emusic.com: http://www.emusic.com/album/Various-The-Thriller-Memorandum-MP3-Download/10963744.html another cool spy lp is this one by Al Caiola:

Yeah, I like Mancini. Another fave was "Come Spy With Me" by Hugo Montenegro.
I'd say Spy is Surf's cool, sexy cousin. |

I like that one a lot - I think some of the songs ended up on the two volumes of "Music to Read James Bond By." If I had to pick a favorite, it'd definitely be David Lloyd's "Confidential: Sounds for a Secret Agent." The four Bond covers are great, but the eight originals (named after and supposedly inspired by Ian Fleming's stories) are amazing:

I just got the S.P.Y.T.I.M.E. CD credited to the Ulterior Motive Orchestra which is actually a combination of tracks from the "Sounds For A Secret Agent" David Lloyd album and another 1965 spy music release by Johnny Pearson and his London Orchestra. I paid £0.43 at Amazon UK for a new sealed copy but just noticed it's even cheaper from US Amazon market sellers with new copies starting at $0.65! http://www.amazon.com/S-P-Y-T-I-M-E-Ulterior-Motive/dp/B0000058QW — |

I got this CD when it came out in the nineties. I remember really liking it. I've listened to it a bunch of times, though it's been a while since the last time. I'll check it out again when I get home. Thanks, Klas. Ivan |

I really like that CD, and you certainly can't argue with the price. I wish the rest of the songs from the David Lloyd album would make it to CD, but I'm not holding my breath. The liner notes - by Brother Cleve of Combustible Edison - are great, too. FYI. some of the same songs from S.P.Y.T.I.M.E. pop up in vastly different arrangements on this CD: There are a few other cool Bond-themed jazz albums, too:

With the SPYTIME CD only having 12 tracks, one can wonder why they didn't include both the original albums in complete. — |
