More Music from The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1966)

The second collection of rearranged tunes from the popular spy show manages to surpass the first volume because it offers a more consistent and energetic set of instrumentals. As with Original Music From the Man From U.N.C.L.E., this album focuses on short and punchy instrumentals (the longest cuts are just over two minutes) that incorporate rock and jazz elements to create a thriller feel.

The second collection of rearranged tunes from the popular spy show manages to surpass the first volume because it offers a more consistent and energetic set of instrumentals. As with Original Music From the Man From U.N.C.L.E., this album focuses on short and punchy instrumentals (the longest cuts are just over two minutes) that incorporate rock and jazz elements to create a thriller feel. Some of the best cuts this time out are "Jungle Heat!," which marries a jazzy, Mancini-style brass melody with a samba-inspired groove, and "Dance of the Flaming Swords," which alternates bullfight-styled trumpet solos with an orchestral melody over an insistent, cowbell-driven beat. The album even dips into the exotica genre with the Far East-inspired "Boo-Bam-Boo, Baby," which grafts an oriental melody to an insistently funky groove. However, More Music From the Man From U.N.C.L.E. differs from its predecessor because it has a more consistent feel. This is probably because the instrumentals it contains were the work of only two composers, as opposed to the four composers who wrote the material on Original Music From the Man From U.N.C.L.E. The album also benefits from adventurous arrangements that are open enough to allow soloists (usually playing a brass instrument) to cut loose within the tight framework of the instrumentals, thus creating a very lively feel. On the downside, More Music From the Man From U.N.C.L.E. is short, even by '60s album standards -- it runs a mere 27 minutes (one can only wonder why RCA didn't combine both volumes of this soundtrack series on one CD). Despite this problem, More Music From the Man From U.N.C.L.E. is an entertaining affair that is well worth a spin for lounge and spy jazz fans. ~ Donald A. Guarisco, Rovi Read Less
