Theme From Monkfish - Duncan Gray (Tici Taci)


Title: Theme From Monkfish

Artist: Duncan Gray

Label: Tici Taci 

Cat Number: ttbc023

Genre: Chug Funk


Not a new track, but one from a recording session a couple of years ago pushed into the spotlight now, because of COVUD. ‘Theme From Monkfish’ may, or may not be named eponymously named after ‘The Fast Show’s’ inspector; but whatever the motive, it’s a piece of slickly produced seventies-inspired funk jammin’ that, like its namesake, takes no nonsense, expects multiple cups of tea to be brewed and probably wreaks of Old Spice or Brut 33: (something Faberge, but not an egg). Tici Taci overlord Mr Gray shows that the crumbs that fall from his table are indeed morsels to be savoured and that his production and arrangement skills, along with his funky insights, are second to none.
