2 stars "Thrust!"

"Thrust2" is the name of a jet propelled car that broke the world land speed record in 1983 (and held on to that record until 1997). This music by Duncan Mackay was the car's "official soundtrack". The track starts out in bombastic, Fanfare For the Common Man style, but ultimatelty lands somewhere between ELP and Kraftwerk, with a jazzy solo coming in towards the middle. The only lyrics is the word "Thrust" repeated. Not a bad track, really!

The B-side of the single, "Project Thrust", contains the same music again, but overlaid by narration about Thurst2 and the land speed record in 1983. Interesting facts, but not something you would play more than once.

Interesting for fans of Mackay and of high speed cars!
