ATA Recordsare proud to release their latest 7" single,Kaunas Baltic Connect feat. The Sorcerers/Baby, I Don't Care.

The funky, atmospheric, evocative and sometimes downright weird output of companies such asDeWolfe,Cavendish,Burtonand the ubiquitousKPMhave always been a guiding inspiration forATA Records, as evidenced in the spooky soundtrack vision ofThe Sorcerers, the big band brass ofThe Yorkshire Film & Television Orchestraand even in the soul-jazz ofThe Lewis Express&Outer Worlds Jazz Ensemble. The ever-expandingLibrary Archiveseries are an honest and forthright homage to the golden age of library recording, and this new release is no exception!


Kaunas Baltic Connect feat. The Sorcerersharks 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. TheSorcerersinfluences are layered throughout, from the spectral synth chords lurking in the background and Farfisa organ melody, to the eventual entry of theSorcerershorns in all their full glory – flute and baritone saxophone to the fore. Fans of Ennio Morricone's score to Pontecorvo'sBattle of Algierswill also find a lot to enjoy here.

Baby, I Don't Careis reminiscent of shamelessly groovyreleases fromThe 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 fromATA Studiosstalwart, Danny Templeman. This has all the hallmarks of a new club favourite – definitely one for the DJs – or cue it up at your next house party; just serve with fried chicken, greens & cornbread for that quintessential soul jazz sound!
