Ace Records present the findings of a multi-library archaeological dig by Bob Stanley, one third of Saint Etienne and music journalist/sifter in his own right. Motorway City finds the Mojo and Melody Maker documenter collect cues written for films few people are likely to remember, from brisk mod instrumentals to accidental proto-ambient jazz. Familiar library music names like Alan Hawkshaw and Simon Park appear alongside Basil Kirchin and Karl Jenkins, the anticipatory night-funk of 'Motordown' and darling dulcimers of 'Through New Territory' being notable highlights and opposite-mood takes on the same tarmacked subject.
