Creation
Having made their name as Britain's top Acid Jazz band, JTQ spread their wings on this release, which included the music they'd done for theAustin Powersmovie - a nigh-on perfect match. Along with the topically popular spy soundtrack pieces, there was the perennial Acid Jazz (think Traffic or Brian Auger at their best), and the out-of-left-field title track (grandly subtitledFanfare for a 3rd Millennium), which seemed to be intent on paying homage to Keith Emerson and prog rock in general. A mixed bag, but well worth a sift through the contents.--Chris Nickson
