Four Flies (Italy), 2017. New Copy ... $16.99
New material from the legendary Alessandro Alessandroni – one of the key forces in helping define the sound of Italian film scores in the 60s and sound library material in the 70s – still alive and well here, and working in a style that's maybe a more intimately focused presentation of ... read more CD
Bruton Music/Vocalion (UK), 1978/1979. New Copy 2 CDs ... $22.99
Hard-driving work from UK sound library hero Brian Bennett – an artist who gave us so much great funky work at the start of the 70s, and who's still going strong here at the other end of the decade! Both records are mighty nice – a mixture of familiar funk with some deeper tones that ... read more CD
Fonit/Schema (Italy), 1973. New Copy ... $12.99
Exactly the kind of record that makes us love sound library records so much – and definitely the sort that sets the style apart from anything else we can think of! Both Sandro Brugnolini and Giorgio Carnini turn in some great work here – a mindblowing mix of modes over the space of ten ... read more CD

Horyzonty (with bonus tracks) ... CD GAD (Poland), 1978. New Copy ... $16.99 18.99
The cover looks a bit pastoral, but the grooves here are totally great – funky sound library material from 70s Poland – originally created for a very unusual format! The music here was originally issued only on cassette, as a daily soundtrack for Polish drivers – groovy tunes ... read more CD
Olympus/Essential, 1977. New Copy ... $11.99 14.99
The cover's a little bit cheesy, but the music inside is mighty nice – an American take on 70s sound library modes, but wrapped around a host of familiar tunes you might also know from both TV and the charts of the time! There's two major groups here – the orchestras of Ray Dugan and ... read more CD
Also available Instrumental Gold Vol 1 ... CD 6.99
Olympus/Essential, 1977. Used ... $6.99

GAD (Poland), 1976. New Copy ... $16.99
A rare instrumental outing from Eden – a Polish trio that first began as a blues-rock group, then moved into progressive territory, before hitting a lighter folksier style – none of which really comes close to the vibe of this material from a rare sound library session in 1976! There's ... (Rock, Sound Library) read more CD
Carnabeat (UK), Late 60s. Used ... $19.99
The complete works of the short-lived Electric Banana – a side project of The Pretty Things, used to record music for the DeWolfe Music Sound Library! Unlike other DeWolfe titles of the time, the work here is all vocal, and all pretty rock-based – but it also gets arrangements from ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Polskie Nagrania/GAD (Poland), 1986. New Copy ... $16.99
80s electronic sounds from Poland – a record that's maybe slightly warmer than some of the cold wave underground of the decade, but not by much – and which is almost all instrumental, giving the whole thing a relatively timeless appeal! As you might guess from the image of the old PC ... (Rock, Sound Library) read more CD
Athens Of The North (UK), 2019. New Copy ... $13.99
A very cool collaboration between Greg Foat and James Thorpe – a set that's billed more as a sound library session than some of Foat's other jazz projects – even though the sound is equally appealing if you love those records too! The set is self-described as "futuristic analogue ... (Jazz, Sound Library) read more CD
Homewood/Sacred Bones, 1976. New Copy ... $12.99 14.99
One of the coolest, moogiest records we've ever heard from Mort Garson – and that's saying a lot, given that the man gave us the Wozzard Of Iz and a host of moog-based astrological records too! The album's billed as "mood music especially composed to aid the growing of your plants" ... read more CD
(Includes the original Mother Earth Plant Care booklet!)
GAD (Poland), 1979. New Copy ... $16.99
A selection of work for a Polish TV show at the end of the 70s – music that's partly in a familiar sound library mode, but which also has some great sound library touches too – a nice sense of variety that really makes for an overstuffed set! Some of these tracks are clearly scene-setti ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD
Folkways, 1960. New Copy Gatefold ... $12.99 16.98
The bugs take over on this weird early album from Folkways – an assortment of odd insect sounds and noises, all with some nicely hokey narration! The quality of the recording is surprisingly gritty – so that the vibrations of wings and legs almost comes across like an early set of ... read more CD
(Special limited CD – pressed up for us by the Smithsonian Folkways label. Comes with original cover artwork, and the CD also features a PDF file with the original liner notes and other materials from the original record release.)
GAD (Poland), Late 80s. New Copy ... $16.99
Four long slices of electronic genius from Wladyslaw Komendarek – a Polish talent with techniques to rival some of the best British and American electronic experimenters from the decade before – but much less known, given that his music never got much circulation in the west! The album ... read more CD

07 Zglos Sie (with bonus tracks) ... CD GAD (Poland), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy ... $16.99 18.99
Totally groovy sounds from a top-level Polish cop show in the 70s – one that certainly didn't make it to our screens back in the day, but which definitely had a soundtrack to match some of the best American programs of the time! In fact, the style here is maybe more late 60s/early 70s than ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD
GAD (Poland), Late 60s/1970s/1980s/1990s. New Copy ... $16.99
A great celebration of the rich career of Polish soundtrack and sound library composer Andrzej Korzynski – a package issued on the 80th birthday of the artist, and which features well-collected tracks from four decades of recording, plus some unreleased material too!

GAD (Poland), 2019. New Copy 2CD ... $8.99

The roots of the music like in older Korzynski recordings, but ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD
Vivid/Celeste (Japan), 1972. Used ... $26.99
If you can forgive the title of this one, you'll find it to be a very groovy record! The album's a killer batch of funky instrumentals ("black sound") recorded in Italy in 1972 by Augusto Martelli ("white people") – and it's got the groove and swing of some of the best ... read more CD

Orkiestra Rozrywkowa Pritv W Katowicach – Znak Wodnika (with bonus tracks) ... CD GAD (Poland), Late 70s. New Copy ... $16.99 18.99
Some of the funkiest work we've ever heard from Polish vibist Jerzy Milian – a series of late 70s recordings that have him working with a larger ensemble in a very groovy mode! The approach is sound library or soundtrack funk at some points, but also almost gets a bit disco at others – ... (Jazz, Sound Library) read more CD
Broc (Switzerland), 2020. New Copy ... $19.99
A great pairing of funky talents old and new – 70s sound library legend Janko Nilovic on keyboards, and the totally hip Soul Surfers combo on rhythms – providing these great backdrops for some surprisingly wonderful work on organ, piano, and Rhodes from Janko! We'll confess, we didn't ... read more CD
Boguslaw Rudzinski —
Unitron – 1963 Polish Library Music From WFDiF Vaults ... CD GAD (Poland), 1963. New Copy ... $16.99 18.99
Fantastic work from a saxophonist we're hearing here for the first time ever – Boguslaw Rudzinski, who recorded this set in 1963 – right at the same time Krzystof Komeda and his generation were opening up doors in modern jazz on the Polish scene! Rudzinski is maybe a bit more inside ... (Jazz, Sound Library) read more CD
Modern Harmonic, 1950s/Early 60s. New Copy 2CD ... $25.99
A really cool side of work from the enigmatic Raymond Scott – the legendary midcentury figure who did a wealth of creative work in jazz, soundtrack, and electronic music fields! Turns out, Scott also recorded a heck of a lot of commercials in his studio – all in ways that embrace all ... (Now Sound, Sound Library) read more CD
(In a hardbound style book!)
Jozef Skrzek —
Viator (with bonus tracks) ... CD GAD (Poland), Late 90s. New Copy ... $16.99 18.99
The cover's almost got a 4AD sort of look to it – and that might be a good way to approach the music of Jozef Skrzek here – as it hits on the more meditative side of that British label in the second half of the 80s – as Jozef creates all these spare, keyboard-heavy instrumentals ... read more CD
Four Flies (Italy), 1970s/Early 80s. New Copy ... $22.99
Weird and wonderful sounds from a very electric man – the mighty Piero Umiliani, an Italian composer who first rose to fame for a set of groundbreaking film scores in the 60s – then moved into even more experimental sound library work in the following decade! This set has Piero working ... read more CD
Also available L'Uomo Elettronico – Cosmic Electronic Environments From An Italian Synth Music Maestro 1972 to 1983 ... LP 39.99
Omicron/Schema (Italy), 1971. New Copy Gatefold ... $12.99
Not the sort of psychedelic music you'd expect from an American rock band of the late 60s – and instead, a stunning set of funky genius from Italian soundtrack maestro Piero Umiliani! The record's actually a precursor to Umiliani's famous global score for Sweden Heaven & Hell (Svezia ... read more CD
Piero Umiliani —
To-Day's Sound ... CD Easy Tempo (Italy), 1971. Used ... $18.99
A gem of a record from the great Piero Umiliani – and maybe one of his funkiest, grooviest projects ever! The set is more sound library funk than soundtrack – and features some very strong keyboard work in the lead on most track – including Fender Rhodes, moog, Hammond, and even ... read more CD
Also available To-Day's Sound ... LP 29.99(Out of print, earlier jewel case pressing.)
Pantonic/Big Pink (South Korea), 1969. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99
A really groovy little record – definitely "underground", but with lots of funky sound library appeal – given that the group were mostly a studio combo, put together to record a few records like this! The set's mostly instrumental, and is filled with loads of strong organ ... (Rock, Sound Library) read more CD
GAD (Poland), Early 80s. Used ... $11.99
Sweet fusion sounds from early 80s Poland – some really wonderful music cut under the leadership of guitarist Wieslaw Wilczkiewicz, who works here with to larger ensembles that are awash in reed lines, keyboards, and a bit of strings!

Bez Tego I Owego ... CD GAD (Poland), 1982. New Copy ... $16.99 18.99
A very jazzy set of sound library tracks from Poland – done in a mix of fusion and prog that's similar to some of that nation's great groups of the 70s – maybe no surprise, given that the guitarist in the group had also performed with the rock act Breakout! Yet here, the style is ... read more CD

Bosworth/Folkways, 1974. New Copy Gatefold ... $12.99 16.98
A haunting batch of commercial music from the 70s – billed in the notes to Bosworth Ensembles, which makes us almost think that the work's from the Bosworth Sound Library – even though the record was issued in the US by Folkways! Most of the music here is relatively gentle – ... read more CD
