Reissue of Visual Impact, originally released at 1976. They say: Descriptive scores for scenes of visual impact. Be With Records say: Arguably the single greatest album in KPM history. An ensemble piece of staggeringly heavy works from none other than Brian Bennett, John Scott, Steve Gray, Jim Lawless, and Johnny Pearson. Visual Impact includes the insanely ace Nuplex by Brian Bennett, a nagging, sweeping, punchy funk piece that exists in a world of it's own. If you don't know, get to know - the record's worth getting for this track alone. The same goes for the beautifully paced, string-drenched, horn-fed LP opener Canaveral Scape, courtesy of John Scott. Truly sublime. Other highlights on the A-side include Bennett's easy, bass-heavy jazz groover Sequence Of Events and the spare, building, undercover funk of Steve Gray's aptly-named Low Profile. The B-side is straight-up fantastic. The percussive, vibey exotica of Jim Lawless's Keeping Pace is followed by five tracks of slick, weighty funk breaks from Johnny Pearson. Check the pure groove of Jaguar with it's head-nod drum break intro, the creeping piano-strings combo and... er... giant neck-snapping breaks of Giant's Causeway, the speaker-smashing progressive bass groove of Fugitive, the tense Rock Climb and the sheer heft of Heavy Load. Library largeness. If that isn't enough, John Scott's incessant Flight Of The Phoenix ends the session, brilliantly pilfered by M.O.P. for their much-loved We Run New York. Originally released in 1976 but wonderfully timeless, Visual Impact is a rare example of a library record that's genuinely great listen from start to finish. As with all of Be With Records' KPM reissues, the audio for Visual Impact comes from the original analog tape and has been remastered for vinyl by Simon Francis. Sleeve reproduction duties by Richard Robinson, the current custodian of KPM's brand identity. 180 gram vinyl.
