Andre Brasseur —
Lost Gems From The 70s ... CD Sdban (Belgium), 1970s. New Copy 2 CDs ... $32.99
Fantastic sounds from Belgian Hammond hero Andre Brasseur – a musician who clearly cut a heck of a lot of records back in the 70s, as evidenced by the huge range of record covers and 45 sleeves inside! Yet Brasseur's also one of those guys who never fully got his due – a keyboard ... read more CD
Rene Costy —
Expectancy – Collected Library Music ... CD Sdban (Belgium), 1970s. New Copy 2CD ... $32.99
Really wonderful sounds from an overlooked sound library genius – and an artist who's also a great one to turn to if you want to hear the groovier side of the spectrum too! Rene Costy recorded these tracks on the 70s scene in Belgium – which is why he's probably not as well-exposed as ... read more CD
GAD (Poland), Mid 60s. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99
Sound library music from mid 60s Poland, but tracks that feel a lot more like American instrumental rock from the same time too – a very different approach than the larger orchestrations you might expect! Most of these tunes are pretty upbeat, and filled with twangy guitars that soar forward ... (Rock, Sound Library) read more CD
Damu The Fudgemunk —
Conversation Peace ... CD KPM/Def Presse, 2021. New Copy ... $14.99 15.99
A fantastic album from Damu The Fudgemunk, and a set that kicks off a whole new series in the sound library universe too – one that has contemporary producers getting access to classic samples from the KPM Sound Library catalog, while also adding their own music to the label too! Here, Damu ... (Hip Hop, Sound Library) read more CD

Francois De Roubaix —
L'Essential Francois De Roubaix ... CD Universal (France), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Some of the coolest soundtrack music you'll ever hope to hear – all played by a cat who could equally handle the sitar, guitar, Fender Rhodes, and electronics pictured on the cover! Francois De Roubaix is easily one of our favorite soundtrack composers ever – a French talent at the end ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD

(Rachel Ostovich vs. Paige VanZant)
De Wolfe/Grapefruit (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy 3CD ... Just Sold Out!
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 ... (Rock, 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!)
Sacred Bones, Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy ... $12.99 14.98
A tremendous collection of work from moog maestro Mort Garson – a name you might know from projects like the Wozard Of Iz, Lucifer, or Ataraxia – stepping out here on some much more obscure recordings, including some that appear here for the first time ever! Garson was easily one of ... (Now Sound, Sound Library) read more CD
Cacophonic (UK), 1973/1977. New Copy ... $6.99 16.99
Beautiful sounds from Karel Goeyvaeters – a Dutch minimalist with a really wonderful sense of tone! The album features two long pieces, both from the mid 70s – each using a variety of sounds in cyclical fashion – in ways that recall some of the best Terry Riley material of the ...

Also available Karel Goeyvaerts ... LP 14.99
Folkways, 1955. New Copy Gatefold ... $12.99 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.)
ANA/GAD (Poland), 1989. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99
A cool set of keyboard work and electronics from late 80s Poland – all served up with a sound and style that's very much in keeping with the cosmic look of the cover! Wladyslaw Komendarek uses a variety of Roland, Casio, and Yamaha keyboards to take a journey out into the cosmos – ... read more CD
GAD (Poland), 1985. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99
A cool keyboardist from the 80s scene in Poland – working here on all the best Roland, Korg, and Arp instruments of the time – and with this lean, stripped-down groove that's almost got a Kraftwerk feel overall! The music's never too cheesy – with none of those "too ... read more CD
GAD (Poland), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99
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
Peer/P-Vine (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... $24.99
Sublime sound library work from mid 70s Australia – one of the greatest records ever from soundtrack genius Sven Libaek, done in collaboration with a host of the greatest Aussie jazz players of the time! The groove here is laidback, but funky – almost dreamy at times, in the manner of ... read more CD
GAD (Poland), Late 80s. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99
A set of short little tracks that were all done for a Polish TV series at the end of the 80s – music that has plenty of 80s touches in the instrumentation, but served up in more of a sound library mode – almost as if the composer were listening to British pop hits on the radio, then ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD
Folkways, 1979. New Copy ... $12.99 16.99
A really beautiful record from Ann McMillan – one of the lesser-known talents in the female legacy of electronic music – but one we'd put right up there right next to Daphne Oram for her inventive genius! The set was recorded at the legendary Princeton Center For Electronic Music ... (Out Sound, Sound Library) 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
(Comes in a beautiful wood box!)
Broc (France), 2016. New Copy ... $13.99 18.99
A really great setting for the talents of French funky sound library genius Janko Nilovic – a set of new recordings that feature Janko on keyboards, alongside some very stripped-down beats and rhythms! Given that Nilovic's music has been sampled often over the years, the approach is no ... read more CD

Hareton Salvanini —
SP 73 ... CD Continental/Mr Bongo (UK), 1973. New Copy ... $9.99 10.98
Moody instrumental magic from Hareton Salvanini – an artist with an Italian sounding name, and an approach that reminds us of some of the hippest composers of the sound library and film score scene in Italy during the 70s! The album's all instrumental, and is almost a soundtrack for a film ... (Brazil, Sound Library) read more 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), Mid 70s. New Copy ... $19.99
A really great record that definitely lives up to its title and cover – a set that's sort of a cool 70s take on exotica modes from years past! The music here is almost all performed by Giuliano Sorgini – who plays drums and lots of percussion, then adds in electronics too – using ... read more CD
Piero Umiliani —
Continente Nero ... 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

Piero Umiliani —
L'Uomo E La Citta (Man & The City) ... CD Liuto/Dialogo (Italy), 1976. New Copy ... $18.99 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
Also available L'Uomo E La Citta (Man & The City) ... LP 29.99
Four Flies (Italy), 1970s/Early 80s. New Copy ... $22.99

Polinesia ... CD Omicron/Dialogo (Italy), 1975. New Copy ... $18.99 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

Piero Umiliani —
Psichedelica ... 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

Piero Umiliani (Rovi) —
Pianofender Blues ... 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!

Also available Pianofender Blues ... LP 29.99
Piero Umiliani (Zalla) —
Africa ... CD Liuto/Dialogo (Italy), 1972. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99

GAD (Poland), 1982. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99
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
Fremeaux & Associates (France), 1930s/1940s/1950s/Early 60s. New Copy 2CD ... $22.99 29.99
