A Be With favourite and truly one for the heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Big Business of side A is all the work of Keith Mansfield. It’s heavy on the suspense and features the vital “Hot Property”, an insistent groove so good that Madlib sampled it to lace the ace “Long Awaited” by Lootpack with Dilated Peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“Sleeping Giant 1” is a more fleshed out version of the equally-dazzling “Fatal Error”, 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\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe horn-and-flute-led \"Tycoon\" is a head-nodder and \"Power Complex\" has some fantastic percussion. Other highlights include the breezy glide of “Whistle Stop Tour” and its sister groove “Clean Air.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOver on Side B is the more expansive Wind Of Change, which includes the David Snell and the Alan Hawkshaw contributions. But these ain’t no filler. Snell’s shuffling “International Flight” sounds like a smooth Dorothy Ashby track tossed from the heavens. Hawkshaw’s “Road And Rail” 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\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNot to be outdone, if Mansfield’s “Balance Of Power” doesn’t make you feel like king of the world then you must be playing it wrong. Oh, and did we mention “World In Action”?!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs with all ten re-issues, the audio for Big Business \/ Wind of Change comes from the original analogue tapes and has been remastered for vinyl by Be With regular Simon Francis. We’ve taken the same care with the sleeves, handing the reproduction duties over to Richard Robinson, the current custodian of KPM’s brand identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTycoon\u003cbr\u003eHot Property\u003cbr\u003eWhistle Stop Tour\u003cbr\u003ePower Complex\u003cbr\u003eResearch Establishment\u003cbr\u003eClean Air\u003cbr\u003eFatal Error\u003cbr\u003eSleeping Giant 1\u003cbr\u003eSleeping Giant 2\u003cbr\u003eWorld In Action\u003cbr\u003eWorld In Action (Composite)\u003cbr\u003eBalance Of Power\u003cbr\u003eMotorail Express\u003cbr\u003eRoad And Rail\u003cbr\u003eInternational Flight\u003cbr\u003eQuality Fair\u003cbr\u003eSummer Location\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SRD","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":52987123925309,"sku":"BEWITH044LP","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0096\/1884\/9839\/files\/BEWITH044LP.jpg?v=1788877189","url":"https:\/\/sisterray.co.uk\/products\/big-business-wind-of-change-2027-reissue","provider":"Sister Ray","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
