It’s heavy on the suspense and features the vital \u003ci\u003eHot Property,\u003c\/i\u003e an insistent groove so good that Madlib sampled it to lace the ace \u003ci\u003eLong Awaited \u003c\/i\u003eby Lootpack with Dilated Peoples. \u003ci\u003eSleeping Giant 1\u003c\/i\u003e is a more fleshed out version of the equally-dazzling \u003ci\u003eFatal Error,\u003c\/i\u003e evoking the orchestral magic of David Axelrod. Indeed, it conjures images of Diamond D falling over himself in the early-to-mid 90s to loop its intoxicatingly eerie soundscape. Complete with guitar fills that recall Paris, Texas-era Ry Cooder, you need this record for this piece alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe horn-and-flute-led \u003ci\u003eTycoon\u003c\/i\u003e is a head-nodder and \u003ci\u003ePower Complex\u003c\/i\u003e has some fantastic percussion. Other highlights include the breezy glide of \u003ci\u003eWhistle Stop Tour\u003c\/i\u003e and its sister groove \u003ci\u003eClean Air\u003c\/i\u003e. Over on Side B is the more expansive \u003ci\u003eWind Of Change\u003c\/i\u003e, which includes the David Snell and the Alan Hawkshaw contributions. But these ain’t no filler. Snell’s shuffling \u003ci\u003eInternational Flight\u003c\/i\u003e sounds like a smooth Dorothy Ashby track tossed from the heavens. Hawkshaw’s \u003ci\u003eRoad And Rail\u003c\/i\u003e is about as luxurious and strung-out as the great man gets and it might just be the highlight of this whole set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot to be outdone, if Mansfield’s \u003ci\u003eBalance Of Power \u003c\/i\u003edoesn’t make you feel like king of the world then you must be playing it wrong. Oh, and did we mention “World In Action”?! As with all ten re-issues, the audio for \u003ci\u003eBig Business \/ Wind of Change \u003c\/i\u003ecomes from the original analogue tapes and has been remastered for vinyl by Be With regular Simon Francis. The same care has been taken with the sleeves, handing the reproduction duties over to Richard Robinson, the current custodian of KPM’s brand identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Remastered 180 Gram Vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Be With Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50531065233739,"sku":"1049852","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a86b951e-216a-4205-b07c-215d81668ac6_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728092134"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/keith-mansfield-alan-hawkshaw-david-snell.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
