More Mission Impossible is an album featuring music composed and conducted by Lalo Schifrin recorded in 1968 and released on the Paramount label.[1] As with Music from Mission: Impossible (1967) the music on this album is rerecorded and extended scores that were originally commissioned for the TV series Mission: Impossible.
The liner notes were written by JazzTimes music critic Harvey Siders. He said that "each track could be lifted right out of context and stand alone as a compact treatise on rock-tinged, big-band jazz." He described "Mission Blues" as blues with a boogie woogie rhythm and funk elements, and noticed that "Self-Destruct" contained a "rarity: a jazz chimes solo" from the percussion department. He said that the "Danube Incident" was peacefully atmospheric, featuring the exotic Eastern European sound of the cymbalom.[2]
In 1994, Portishead sampled the track "Danube Incident" for their song "Sour Times", slowing the original tune down in tempo which also lowered its pitch.[3] "Sour Times" became Portishead's most successful single.
