Waltel Branco —
Assim Na Terra Como No Ceu ... CD Som Livre/Mr Bongo (UK), 1972. New Copy ... $9.99 11.98
Some of the grooviest work ever cut by Brazilian trombonist Waltel Branco – a set that's very different than just about anything he ever put on record, and which is also material used in an early 70s TV series as well! The sound here is kind of a criss-cross between some of the cool ... (Brazil, Sound Library) read more CD

P&M/Easy Tempo (Italy), 1974. New Copy ... $12.99 19.99
A really wild little funky record – one that's got very obscure origins on the Argentine scene of the 70s, and which serves up an unusual blend of soul, funk, and sound library modes! The tunes have plenty of wicked basslines, heavy drums, and riffing guitar – all of which draw ... read more CD
Also available Genius ... LP 23.99
Aurora Rising (Germany), 1963. New Copy ... $8.99 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!

Very moody work from Polish keyboardist Wladyslaw Komendarek – an unreleased album from 1990, and one that features a whole host of Korg, Casio, and Yamaha Keyboards – all creating a dark soundscape that's very much in keeping with the image on the cover! This isn't playful robot music ... read more CD
Folkways, 1981. New Copy ... $12.99 16.99
One of the most meditative albums ever recorded for the Folkways label – two side-long tracks from composer Craig Kupka, each of which has a dream-like, very hypnotic quality! It's a bit hard to say what exactly is going on here in the instrumentation – we definitely hear vibes, or ... read more CD

Habibi Funk (Germany), 2023. New Copy ... $14.99 15.99
A cool contemporary set from Beirut producer Charif Megarbane – a set served up in a style he bills as "Lebrary" – which is a combination of Lebanese elements with a classic sound library aesthetic!

Some of the funkiest work we've ever heard from the great Polish jazzman Jerzy Milian – working here in the late 70s, and with a larger ensemble too – all in a level that's often got plenty of cop/crime soundtrack influence in the grooves!

GAD (Poland), 1960s/Early 1970s. New Copy ... $14.99 19.99
Very obscure film music from Polish composer Zdzislaw Szostak – and very wonderful as well – music that follows a similar stretch to some of the period in which the Czech new wave was really taking off – and delivered with a style that has an equally striking mix of modern modes ...

Dutch Jazz Archive (Netherlands), 1970s/Early 80s. New Copy 3CD ... $21.99 34.99
A treasure trove of barely-heard music from two of the most unique players on the European scene of the 70s – Fender Rhodes giant Rob Franken, and harmonica jazz maestro Toots Thielemans – two players who sound better here in the company of each other than they do on their own! ...

Beat (Italy), 1971. Used ... $24.99
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

Liuto/Four Flies (Italy), 1971. New Copy ... $18.99 22.99

Also available Paesaggi ... LP 30.99
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! The sound here is halfway between the spacey experiments of Brian Eno and Cluster, and some of the more ... (Rock, Sound Library) read more CD

GAD (Poland), Late 50s/1960s/1970s/1980s. New Copy ... $14.99 23.99
Really cool music for a bunch of short, animated cartoons – all of them from a single studio in Poland, and done with these sublime sounds that really move past the familiar! These aren't always the whimsical melodies you'd hear in a Warner Brothers cartoon – and there's elements of ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD
Easy Tempo (Italy), Late 60s/1970s. New Copy ... $12.99 19.99
