Originally released in 2024. ATA Records present the latest 7" single, "Kaunas Baltic Connect" featuring The Sorcerers and "Baby, I Don't Care." The funky, atmospheric, evocative and sometimes downright weird output of companies such as DeWolfe, Cavendish, Burton, and the ubiquitous KPM have always been a guiding inspiration for ATA Records, as evidenced in the spooky soundtrack vision of The Sorcerers, the big band brass of The Yorkshire Film & Television Orchestra and even in the soul-jazz of The Lewis Express & Outer Worlds Jazz Ensemble. The ever-expanding Library Archive series are an honest and forthright homage to the golden age of library recording, and this new release is no exception! "Kaunas Baltic Connect" featuring The Sorcerers harks back to the dynamic, brooding menace of Poliziotteschi and Euro-crime movies -- popping toms punctuate a martial-sounding '60s beat, with an insistent and recurring piano motif. The Sorcerers influences are layered throughout, from the spectral synth chords lurking in the background and Farfisa organ melody, to the eventual entry of the Sorcerers horns in all their full glory -- flute and baritone saxophone to the fore. Fans of Ennio Morricone's score to Pontecorvo's Battle of Algiers will also find a lot to enjoy here. "Baby, I Don't Care" is reminiscent of shamelessly groovy releases from The Lewis Express, featuring a joyful slice of Hammond organ blues dancing away over the funkiest drums this side of Clyde Stubblefield -- replete with congas and bongos from ATA Studios stalwart, Danny Templeman. This has all the hallmarks of a new club favorite -- definitely one for the DJs -- or cue it up at your next house party.
