Voyage – A Journey Into Discoid Funk (with bonus tracks) ... CD DJM/Strawberry (UK), 1978. New Copy 2CD ... Just Sold Out!
A really heady record from British drummer Brian Bennett – an artist known for both jazz and funky sound library work – here stretching out in a mode that really fits the image on the cover! The tunes are longer than some of Bennett's earlier sound library material – almost a mix ... read more CD

GAD (Poland), Mid 80s. New Copy ... $9.99 22.99
A sweet little set that definitely lives up to the 80s look of its cover – as does the work by Krzysztof Duda on a range of Roland, Moog, and Yamaha keyboards! The tracks all have a lean, clean, 80s electronic sound – bright grooves that are filled with keyboards and basslines, on top ... (Rock, Sound Library) read more CD
De Wolfe/Grapefruit (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy 3CD ... $24.99 30.99
A fantastic legacy of music from the UK scene – even though it's a pretty darn secret one as well! The Electric Banana were a very unique studio group – a combo who featured Phil May and Dick Taylor of the Pretty Things, right at a time when that group were at the height of their fame ...

Athens Of The North (UK), 2019. New Copy ... $9.99 18.99
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
Aurora Rising (Germany), 1963. New Copy ... $5.99 16.99
One of the first albums ever made by Bruce Haack – the mad musician who's best known for his electronic work, but who also left behind a huge legacy of self-produced work for children! This album was done in collaboration with Miss Nelson – Esther Nelson, a dance instructor who worked ... read more CD
Folkways, 1955. New Copy Gatefold ... $7.99 16.98
One of the weirdest sound effects ever recorded – a record that's filled with sounds of the human body! Side one features a bizzare surgical operation – narrated by the doctor, who's removing a cyst from the neck of a small boy. You hear his talking more than the operation, but side ... 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.)
Try/Cinedelic (Italy), 1973. New Copy ... $8.99
You gotta love a record with song titles like "Marijuana", "Drugstore", and "Hurrycane" – and we can definitely promise that the overall sound definitely matches those trippy references! The record's one of the most obscure Italian sound library sets from the ... read more CD

Ennio Morricone/RCA/Musica Per Immagini (Italy), Early 70s. New Copy 10CD ... $139.99 199.99
Fantastic sounds from Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai – a set of rare albums of more serious music done for RCA – very much in the darker spirit of their recordings with the Gruppo D'Improvvisazione Nuova! The music here is more avant compositional than some of Morricone's lighter ... read more CD

Modern Harmonic, 1950s/Early 60s. New Copy 2CD ... $24.99 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

GAD (Poland), Late 90s. New Copy ... $7.99 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
Finders Keepers/Cache Cache (UK), 1978. New Copy ... $6.99 16.99
Two rare soundtracks from the quirky Bruno Spoerri – both of them a very cool blend of jazzy reeds and lots of electric touches! Teddy Bear is from the early 80s, and is one of the later records we've heard from Spoerri – a set that definitely bears the pedigree of its time, through ... read more CD

All Score Media (Germany), 1970. New Copy 2CD ... $22.99 23.99
Sexy soundtracks from the great Peter Thomas – a trio of German goodies from the start of the 70s – all of which have the maestro at his groovy best! The music here rivals the best of Peter's crime and sci-fi work of the late 60s – and the films all appear to be the sort of sex-dr ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD
Omicron/Dialogo (Italy), 1975. New Copy ... $19.99 22.99
A second sound library trip to Africa by Italian sound library maestro Piero Umiliani – and one that's even groovier than the first! The music here follows a similar pattern – mixing elements of 70s sound library rhythms with some older exotic modes – a blend of electric and ... read more CD
Also available Continente Nero ... LP 21.99
Liuto/Dialogo (Italy), 1976. New Copy ... $16.99 22.99
A hip set of swinging urban tunes – recorded by Piero Umiliani in 1976, in a mode that recalls American "urban" jazz tributes from the 50s and 60s – especially some of the albums that were dedicated to New York! Yet the difference here is that he session's got a bit of a 70s ... 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

Omicron/Dialogo (Italy), 1975. New Copy ... $19.99 22.99
A mystical trip through the south seas – courtesy of Italian soundtrack composer Piero Umiliani, working here in a rare sound library setting! The tracks are moody and ethereal – with lots of spare percussion, and some dreamy island-type touches – like floating voices, isolated ... read more CD
Omicron/Schema (Italy), 1971. New Copy Gatefold ... $19.99 24.99
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
Omicron/Dialogo (Italy), 1975. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99
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! Piero first started out with a more jazz-based sound in the 60s, and that definitely returns here – but updated nicely with a sweet set of 70s ... read more CD
Liuto/Dialogo (Italy), 1972. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99
A totally wonderful set of sound library work from the legendary Piero Umiliani, working here under the name of Zalla – a set that mixes his great ear for electronic elements with some warm acoustic instrumentation too – a blend of percussion, baritone flute, and even a bit of marimba ... read more CD
Liuto/Four Flies (Italy), 1971. New Copy ... $19.99
One of the most seductive sound library albums ever recorded by Piero Umiliani – a set that was originally issued under his Zalla pseudonym, but which has all the best jazzy grooves of some of his famous soundtrack material from the end of the 60s! As on those records, Umiliani plays a host ... read more CD
Also available Paesaggi ... LP 29.99
Buried Treasure (UK), Late 80s/1990s/Early 2000s. New Copy ... $13.99
Over 20 years worth of unheard recordings from the writer/producer of The Delaware Road – work that's been pulled from an assortment of cassettes, DATs, and minidiscs – and which represent a similar evolution in electronics as the technology on which it was recorded! Some of the tracks ... read more CD
Fremeaux & Associates (France), 1930s/1940s/1950s/Early 60s. New Copy 2CD ... $22.99 29.99
A very unusual collection – one that features all sorts of rare French advertisements from the previous century – a good number of which are songs performed by some of the bigger names of the time! The set's got an unusual format, in that it mixes straight radio ads with songs and ... (French, Sound Library) read more CD
ATA (UK), 2021. New Copy ... $9.99 18.99
A great contemporary take on the vintage sound library mode – one that has a host of artists from the UK's ATA Records label turning out a sweet set of instrumentals for this really wonderful collection!

Big Deal – Weinberger Funk Library 1975 to 1979 ... CD Sonorama (Germany), Late 70s. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Big deal, indeed – as this excellent set looks at a really under-tapped source of sound library funk from the 70s – a small British company who was turning out glorious grooves in the same classic years as KPM or DeWolfe! The players here are mostly British, and many are more obscure ... read more CD
