The album "Exciting Sounds of Tomorrow" (often shortened to "Exciting Sounds") is a landmark work by British arranger and composer Pete Moore, a blend of sophisticated easy listening, jazz, and funk.
Moore utilizes rich orchestrations with elements innovative for the time, such as synthesized horns in "Wichita Lineman" or fuzz guitar in a cover version of "Windmills of Your Mind."
Unlike standard elevator music, the album features powerful drums and distinct funk rhythms, making it popular among library music collectors.
Pete Moore's music (the composer of Pearl & Dean's celebrated opening track, "Asteroid") is imbued with cinematic scope and melancholic nostalgia.
