All Music Guide - Jason Ankeny

Perhaps too bright, bouncy, and/or syrupy for modern consumption, these effervescent, lighter-than-air melodies nevertheless capture the mood of the postwar era with uncanny accuracy. The first volume in Scamp's Music for TV Dinners series compiles recordings from British composers including Laurie Johnson and King Palmer, originally administered via sound library firms like KPM and APM Music.

More than just music, it's boomer nostalgia at its most palpable.

    "TV Dinners" Satisfies!

    I found this album by accident. I'd often wondered where they got that crazy music for shows like "Ren & Stimpy" and other cartoons from, and some of that whacked out stuff you hear on commercials. I figured it had to be some commercial music library, but until I just happened to stumble over Scamp Records web site I never knew where to get my own copy. This disc is absolute nirvana for anyone into lounge, atomica, the 50s & 60s and the America from the earlier times when we all liked Ike, our car had fins, and Father knew best. Listening to this disc, you can hear the "Kitchen of the Future" beckoning, imagine the flying cars of tomorrow, see the future and all it's bright, sparkly promise. This is "Tomorrowland" on a disc. Too bad it never came, but this would have been the soundtrack if it had.
