Super Sounds Unlimited – Amphonic Music 1971 to 1981

Out Of Stock

A great look at the Amphonic Sound Library – an under-compiled UK imprint from the 70s, and one who issued some very groovy groovy work! The set brings together a range of different sessions produced by Syd Dale – the mighty maestro you might know from his work at KPM, sounding equally groovy over here at Amphonic! The tracks are all from the 70s, and have a style that's a bit warmer and more electric than some of the earlier Brit sound library material – some especially sweet undercurrents that remind us a lot of our favorite styles coming from the Selected Sound label over in Germany. There's a jazzy feel to most of the numbers – lots of great keyboards, guitars, and horns – mixed in with swinging rhythms and some occasional fuller strings on titles that include "Swayin" and "Girl In A Whirl" by James Clarke, "Shifting Sands Of Sound" and "Cross Talk" by Dick Walter, "Soul Searching" and "Poltergeist" by Steve Gray, "Melina" and "Salvador Setup" by Ray Davies, "Setting The Scene" and "Vegas Venue" by Dick Walter, "First Flight" by Gerry Butler, "The Heavy Gang" by Syd Dale, "A Moment In Time" by Dick Doerschuk, and "Tomorrow Is Now" by Ronnie Hazelhurst. 25 tracks in all – and really great sound!  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
