A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Thunderground - Illegal Rush (22 November 1992)



Thunderground was a collaboration between the members of Bandulu and DJ Lewis Keogh which released 4 records over 1992-95.
My notes for Illegal Rush describe it as sounding like a cross between a Celtic New Age relaxation track and the theme to an urban cop show; the gold standard for which remains Stewart Copeland’s superb theme for The Equalizer.  But lest you think that all sounds a bit too dark and foreboding, the third element of the track appears to take inspiration from the It’s the Mind sketch on Monty Python’s Flying Circus.  Overall, it’s a slightly repetitive bag of tricks but a constantly enjoyable one nevertheless.
