Another odd 'hit'. Viner had assembled a crew of musicians to record chase-music for the film "The Thing With Two Heads". The music was well received, so Viner reassembled the team for a full album of percussive mischief.
It's an interesting collection of instrumental tracks, including a bongo-heavy reading "In a gadda da vida". There's a kind of a funk/rock/fusiony feel to proceedings. Apparently this is one of the most sampled albums of all time, with sounds being used by artists including Sugarhill Gang, Nas, Jay Z, Fatboy Slim, Beastie Boys, Massive Attack, Grandmaster Flash and the Chemical Brothers!
