African rhythms, jazzy instrumentation, rock inspiration, and a motherlode of funky sound library grooves from two of the best British maestros working in the business!

Sonoton/Be With (UK), 1980. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99 36.99
A great set from that moment when sound library instrumentation was winnowed down from a larger group of studio musicians to usually just a composer and a keyboard – definitely the approach used in this all electric set! The groove certainly lives up to the title – most of these tracks ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Continental Pop Sound ... LP Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Don't think "pop", and forget any staid conceptions you might have about something "continental" – and focus on the fact that this sweet little gem is early in the great funky 70s run of the Tele Music sound library – served up through the tight drums and musical ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Pierre Alain Dahan & Mat Camison —
Rythmiques ... LP Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A really well-titled set, especially given that as a drummer, Pierre Alain Dahan lent his talents to a whole host of French jazz, funk, and soul outings in the 70s – although his approach here is different than on some of his more famous work! The album's a set of duets with electronic ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99 36.99
A full and funky sound library gem from mid 70s France – a set that really takes advantage of the strong drum work of Pierre Alain Dahan, whose work on the kit is at the core of every one of the instrumental gems on the set! The mood changes up nicely from cut to cut – sometimes there's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Pierre Dutour —
Top Fiction ... LP Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A late 70s nugget from the Tele Music sound library – a set that's got some of sweet spacey touches you might expect from the cover, but which also has plenty of funky rhythms at the bottom! The tracks are short, tight, and really pack a lot into a small space – as the set's got 14 ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99 36.99
A record that really takes on the "phasing" in the title seriously – as it uses all sorts of cool effects to create a special magic with simple sounds – all while managing to serve up some great funky nuggets too! The record's a masterpiece in both sound library ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Michel Gonet —
Phasing News Vol 2 ... LP Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Sweet work from Michel Gonet – one of the unsung geniuses of the French 70s sound library scene! The album's a mixed bag of styles – in that about half the tracks feature lots of synthesizer and percussion, moogily stating themes that range from fast and groovy to mellower and spacey. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Hardy's Jet Band/Selected Sound/Be With (UK), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
An early gem on the German Selected Sound library series – one that features work by a number of different artists, and is all the groovier because of that!

Sauveur Mallia —
Spatial & Co ... LP Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A bass-heavy sound library set from the wonderful French composer Sauveur Mallia – a set that's really different than some of the thinner, more keyboard-heavy work of the period – although there's plenty of keyboards in the mix too! Some tracks definitely have that coming cosmic style ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Sauveur Mallia —
Spatial & Co Vol 2 ... LP Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
French space disco legend Sauveur Mallia is right in the same territory here as his work in the group Arpadys – mixing funky rhythms with cosmic touches, and serving things up with a groove that was years ahead of its time! The basslines and keyboards are great – very warm overall, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
KPM/Be With (UK), 2022. New Copy ... $33.99 36.99
A new set on the legendary KPM sound library label, but one that's very much in the best spirit of the company's vintage work – as maestro Frank Maston acts here like a hip soundtrack composer from the Italian scene of the 70s! The mix of instrumentation is mighty nice – funky, but in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
De Wolfe/Be With (UK), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99 36.99
An ultra-hip batch of vocal tracks – and one of the few full albums recorded by singer Barbara Moore – a UK jazz artist at the start, but then an important studio talent often working behind the scenes!

Ocean Moon —
Crystal Harmonics ... LP KPM/Be With (UK), Early 80s. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A really unusual later entry in the KPM sound library series – a set that's mellower and a lot more meditative than some of the label's usual work – not action or funky soundtrack material, but instead an electronic set that resonates nicely with some of the Japanese minimal work of the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Otakar Olsanik/Coloursound Library/Be With (UK), 1986. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A synth-heavy sound library set, and one that really lives up to the cover image of a spaceman on the front – a record that soars through the skies on waves of pulsating sonic energy – lean enough to achieve liftoff, but with enough force to keep on soaring through the cosmos! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Guy Pedersen —
Contrebasses ... LP Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
There's plenty of the bass promised in the title – but that's what we'd expect, given that the great Guy Pedersen's bass appeared on countless wonderful French records over the years! Yet this set's also something really special, too – a chance for Guy to come out of the background, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Guy Pedersen —
Maxi Music ... LP Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Massively funky sound library work from Guy Pedersen – a bassist who already had a long legacy in French jazz by the time of this early 70s set, yet somehow manages to knock things out of the park in a completely different way! The bass is definitely at the core of most numbers – yet ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Jay Richford & Gary Stevan (Brugnolini/Carosello/Be With (UK), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock

Tonio Rubio —
Rhythms ... LP Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1973. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A record that really lives up to the promise of its title – and one that delivers not just in the world of funky rhythms, but Latin modes as well!

Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1985. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99 36.99
A full on funky set from French maestro Sauveur Mallia – a record that mixes his own work on bass, keyboards, electronics, and samples with some slight touches over the top on trumpet, trombone, and saxophone too! The style is definitely a lot more 80s than some of Mallia's 70s work – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Themes/Be With (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 39.99
That's a pretty dramatic image on the cover, and Brit maestro Alan Tew follows it up with just the right sort of tunes you might expect – many of which are thematic tracks titled "The Detectives", and which would be right at home in some kind of cool 70s cop/crime TV show! As with ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Themes/Be With (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99 39.99
That gun on the cover is a great hint at the action within – as UK sound library genius Alan Tew comes up with a whole host of hip cop/crime grooves for the set! Tracks are short, but done brilliantly – with a blend of keyboards and electric basslines amidst warmer jazzy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Sven Torstenson —
Drugs ... LP Sonoton/Be With (UK), 1980. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A wonderfully freaky sound library set from the start of the 80s – one that definitely echoes the drugs promised in the title, but with a vibe that's very different than late 60s psychedelia! The record is heavy on 80s keyboards and electronics – and there's some cuts that have a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
De Wolfe/Be With (UK), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99 36.99
A totally killer sound library set – every bit as funky as others that have been issued under the Afro Rock title – but a lot more obscure! The group here has wicked bass and plenty of percussion next to the drums – and the top of the sound also has some horn work that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
De Wolfe/Be With (UK), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99 36.99
A jazzy gem from the DeWolfe sound library in the UK – a record done by pianist Roger Webb, but with an expanded "Sound" – as you might guess from the title! Roger plays both acoustic and electric pianos, in a variety of styles – and a number of cuts here have sublime ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Coloursound Library/Be With (UK), 1986. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 36.99
A record from the more electronic years of the sound library scene – yet one that's also got a nicely sensitive side too, in a way that really lives up to its title! Both artists get plenty of space to serve up their songs – mostly shorter numbers in variations for most tracks – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Various —
Image – KPM 1141 ... LP KPM/Be With (UK), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A set that's filled with some of the most evocative work ever recorded by the KPM sound library in the 70s – music that goes beyond just familiar funk to move into territory that resonates with some of the most sonically seductive styles of the Italian soundtrack scene of the period! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
