Originally released June 28, 2024. With 2021's Mystery Fields, Phil Heeks delivered a stunning homage to 1970s library LPs and soundtrack compilations, in his debut record as The British Stereo Collective. The long-awaited sequel Iniquitous brings together two-decades-worth of TV music from an alternate reality. Says Phil: "I feel that Volume 2 nails the concept of the TV themes compilation much more successfully, being more varied and more expansive, and with greater authenticity." Once again, this volume of the "Sound Library" is a heart-felt homage to a beloved era of classic themes and channel idents, inspired by the combined influences of Vangelis, Jeff Wayne, Peter Howell, Mike Oldfield, Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Barry Gray, Francis Monkman, Paddy Kingsland, and countless others. Pressed up on beautiful "green leaves" vinyl and featuring a TV Times referencing insert, the album works as a complete and aesthetically gorgeous time capsule for those who are perennially nostalgic for the golden age of TV. Melodic, eclectic, part-electronic, part-traditional, Iniquitous sits comfortably among your Geoff Love and BBC Themes albums and adds to the ever expanding and impressive body of work that Phil is building.
