Selection/Sdban (Belgium), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $27.99 34.99
A sound library album, but one that's got a lot more of a jazz component than most – no surprise, given that Solis Lacus was a combo who recorded other records on their own – led by the great Michel Herr on Frender Rhodes and other keyboards! The tracks are often quite long, most are ... (Jazz, Sound Library) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Leo/BTF (Italy), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $28.99 34.99
A great little album, and one that really lives up to the promise of its title – as most tracks have percussion building up with a rising sense of energy – only to be topped with a nice range of exotic instrumentation too! The approach is a blend of older exotica modes and hip 70s funk ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Musiche De Teisco ... CD Dual Planet (Australia), Late 70s. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Very cool electronic sound library work – heavy on moog and guitar with effects – and spinning out at a level that reminds us a lot of the coolest spacey electronics from the French scene of the 70s! The tunes are all put together by Teisco, from instrumentation that's relatively spare ... read more CD
BBE (UK), 1978. New Copy ... $9.99 14.99
The cover looks gothic, but the sound is plenty darn groovy – a sweet set of sound library instrumentals from the 70s scene in Paris – most of them served up with an upbeat, clubby sort of vibe! Yan Tregger may not be one of those names that immediately comes to the lips of underground ... read more CD
BBE (UK), 1979. New Copy ... $9.99 14.99
An underground funky gem – one that never made it past the collections of the elite sound library audience in the 70s – but which is well deserving of global acclaim! Yan Tregger works here in this style that's every bit as funky as his contemporaries on bigger library labels, but ... read more CD

Omicron/Holy Basil (Italy), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $28.99 32.99
There's a relatively serious cover on this set – at least in comparison to some of the more whimsical work of Italian sound library giant Piero Umiliani – and for the record, Piero seems to respond to the image – often using these richer, deeper styles that almost get back at more ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sweden – Heaven & Hell (Svezia – Inferno E Paradiso) ... LP Omicron/Schema (Italy), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 34.99
One of the greatest soundtracks ever from the mighty Piero Umiliani – sounds initially written for a film that was an international "sexpose" of daily life in Sweden – but which have grown to even greater fame on their own over the years – thanks to the talent of the ...

A gem of a record from the great Piero Umiliani – and maybe one of his funkiest, grooviest projects ever!

Pianofender Blues ... LP Omicron/Dialogo (Italy), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99 34.99
A great set of keyboard work from the legendary Piero Umiliani – and one that's definitely heavy on the Fender Rhodes promised in the title!

Evening Colours (with bonus tracks) ... CD CAM/Lion, 1976. New Copy ... $8.99 16.99
Amazing music from Laurance Vanay – actually a recording name for Jacqueline Thibault, a hell of a great keyboardist but an artist the label thought would be better off billed as a man!
