Guerra E Distruzione
Liuto/Holy Basil (Italy), Early 1970s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)
A really cool set from sound library genius Piero Umiliani – one that's definitely got the war and destruction promised in the title, but which also has some surprisingly groovy touches too!

Genius
P&M/Easy Tempo (Italy), 1974. New Copy 2LP Gatefold
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!

Hard Hitter
De Wolfe (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)

Janko Nilovic

Rythmes Contemporains
Broc (France), 1973. New Copy (reissue)
One of the hippest albums ever from Janko Nilovic – a rare sound library session, but one that bristles with fantastic energy right from the start – and which maybe has a jazzier, fuller sense of sound that makes the whole thing feel more like an early 70s MPS label funk classic than ... LP, Vinyl record album
Montparnasse 2000/Underdog (France), 1975. New Copy (reissue)
One of the funkiest records ever cut by studio jazz genius Janko Nilovic!

LP, Vinyl record album

Janko Nilovic

Super America
Montparnasse 2000/Underdog (France), Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)
Not a record from America, but instead one of the standout gems from the legendary Montparnasse 2000 sound library series in the 70s – filled with funky grooves from the madman Janko Nilovic!

Janko Nilovic

Pop Impressions
Montparnasse 2000/Underdog (France), Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)
Nothing pop about this groovy little record – save, perhaps, for the fact that it's been sampled by a number of hip hoppers over the years – because the set's one of the greatest ever from the legendary Janko Nilovic – a real masterpiece of complex grooves and offbeat ... LP, Vinyl record album

Selection/Sdban (Belgium), Late 70s. New Copy
A rare look at a very obscure sound library from the European scene – the Belgian Selection label, home to some very groovy sounds from the late 70s! The music here resonates with Belgian soundtrack and jazz work of the period – and shares some musicians from those genres too – ... LP, Vinyl record album

Poznanska Orkiestra Rozrywkowa PRITV

Butik
GAD (Poland), 1976. New Copy
Soaring Polish instrumentals from the 70s – sound library work, but very aware of the disco changes taking place in the American mainstream of the time – all of which makes for tunes that often have a sort of funky cop/crime soundtrack vibe overall! The group have clearly heard some of ... LP, Vinyl record album

Matt Berry

Simplicity
KPM/Acid Jazz (UK), 2023. New Copy
A really fantastic pairing of forces – as keyboard collector Matt Berry serves up a special set of instrumental tracks for the KPM sound library – many of which are done on the kinds of keys that KPM were recording back in the day! You might know Matt for his work on screen, but he's ... LP, Vinyl record album

Marcello Giombini

Computer Disco
Mondo Groove (Italy), Early 80s. New Copy
We're not sure we've ever seen many computers at the disco – but after hearing this sweet little set from the 80s, we're tempted to bring our laptops along the next time we go clubbing!

Swing Family (Sauveur Mallia)

Music Force
Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1985. New Copy (reissue)
A full on funky set from French maestro Sauveur Mallia – a record that mixes his own work on bass, keyboards, electronics, and samples with some slight touches over the top on trumpet, trombone, and saxophone too!

Wladyslaw Komendarek

Zycie Robotow/Life With Robots
Polskie Nagrania/GAD (Poland), 1990. New Copy
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 ... CD
Folkways, 1981. New Copy
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 ... CD

Bruno Spoerri

Teddy Bear/Lilith
Finders Keepers/Cache Cache (UK), 1978. New Copy
Two rare soundtracks from the quirky Bruno Spoerri – both of them a very cool blend of jazzy reeds and lots of electric touches!

One of the coolest collections of work we've ever heard from the great Mort Garson – a selection of tracks that were done during the same years as his famous album releases in the world of moog and analog synth, but done for much more obscure sources that include television, film, and other ... LP, Vinyl record album
Tele Music/BMG (France), 1970s/Early 80s. New Copy 2LP
Great grooves galore – a sweet selection of tracks from the late 60s onwards, none of which were made available to the public at the time!

Columbia/Holy Basil (Italy), 1977. New Copy (reissue)
Sweet funky keyboards from the Japanese scene – a set recorded by Shigeo Sekito as part of an ultra hi-fidelity series in the 70s, but done with a lean groove that's much more like some of the late 60s instrumental gems we love so much! Shigeo moves between electric piano, organ, and some ... LP, Vinyl record album

Pleasurewood

They Live
Farfalla (France), 2023. New Copy
Tight, spare, and mighty funky – a set of contemporary cuts served up in a sound library style, but with a lot more grit in the grooves than most!

Maurice Lecoeur

Musiques Pour L'Image
Transversales Disques (France), 1970s. New Copy
Really funky sounds from Maurice Lecoeur – an overlooked French soundtrack genius of the 70s – and one who worked in territory that was way past familiar standards for film!

Mario Molino

Antico E Moderno
Fonit/Holy Basil (Italy), 1975. New Copy (reissue)

Some cuts have these really wonderful electronics, but of the ... LP, Vinyl record album

Piero Umiliani (Zalla)

Paesaggi
Liuto/Four Flies (Italy), 1971. New Copy
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 ... CD

Bruno Battisti D'Amario

Chitarre Folk
Nike/Wiseraven (Italy), Early 1970s. New Copy (reissue)
An obscure sound library session, and a wonderfully trippy record too – one that features all sorts of cool guitar from Bruno Battisti, but in a way that's much more psychedelic than the "folk" in the title might make you expect! The guitars are electric, and often played with some ... LP, Vinyl record album

Gruppo Sound

New York City
Flipper/Musica Per Immagini (Italy), 1983. New Copy (reissue)
A keyboard-driven picture of New York City – one of the many obscure sound library sets recorded by the shifting Gruppo Sound lineup – which in this case features the talents of Gabriele Ducros on the electric piano!

Gianni Safred

Electronic Designs
Jump/Four Flies (Italy), 1977. New Copy (reissue)
A set that's not nearly as electronic as you might expect – at least not in any sort of cold, computer-styled way – as the record is full of plenty of great analog touches on keyboards, basslines, and other bits – all of which really give the whole thing a very warm glow overall! ...

LP, Vinyl record album

Egisto Macchi

Gangsters 70
Cinedelic (Italy), 1968. New Copy (reissue)
A record that's very different than you might expect from the title – not 70s crime/cop material from the Italian scene, and instead a much richer, more sophisticated soundtrack from the late 60s – one that really makes great use of the darker, moodier side of the talents of Egisto ...

Vedette/Holy Basil (Italy), 1972. New Copy (reissue)

Themes/Be With (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)
That's a pretty dramatic image on the cover, and Brit maestro Alan Tew follows it up with just the right sort of tunes you might expect – many of which are thematic tracks titled "The Detectives", and which would be right at home in some kind of cool 70s cop/crime TV show! As with ... LP, Vinyl record album
Modern Harmonic, Late 60s/1970s. New Copy
A fantastic array of really cool songs – all written and recorded by Tom Dawes of The Cyrkle – as part of a big career as a jingle writer after his group cut a famous theme song for 7 Up!

Vocal Patterns
De Wolfe (UK), 1971. New Copy (reissue)

LP, Vinyl record album
Madlib Invazion, 2024. New Copy
One of the most keyboard-heavy sets in the excellent Madlib Invazion sound library series – a set that has all sorts of vintage keys and synth over lightly tripping grooves that are mighty nice!

Madlib Invazion, 2024. New Copy
Joe Harrison starts out this set with a reference to David Axelrod, and the set just keeps getting better and better after that – as Joe mixes together vibes, mellotron, guitar, organ, flute, and lots of other cool instrumentation – but all with a lean vibe that's definitely more on the ... LP, Vinyl record album
Madlib Invazion, 2023. New Copy
A sound library set, but one that's got a grittier feel than most – and which ends up feeling a lot more like a stack of funky 45s overall!

Homewood/Sacred Bones, 1976. New Copy (reissue)
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!
