Sacred Bones, Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy
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 ...
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! The French Tele Music company was one of those secret sound library labels – recording top shelf tracks during the 70s, but then only passing them ...
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 ...
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! These guys really dig funky drums, heady basslines, and raw guitars – of the sort that makes some of these tracks feel a lot more like ...
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! If you know the music of Francois DeRoubaix, you'll find plenty here to love – because like DeRoubaix, ...
Fonit/Holy Basil (Italy), 1975. New Copy (reissue)
A sweet little set that definitely earns its "antico e moderno" title – as it seems to effortlessly blend together musical modes from a variety of different eras, but all with an ultra hip Italian sound library style! Some cuts have these really wonderful electronics, but of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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! The album's got a laidback vibe at times, and is sometimes a bit like ...

Cavendish/BBE (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold

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! ...
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 ...
Ace (UK), Late 1970s/Early 1980s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold
A really cool set that documents the rise of the synthesizer in sound library music – not the weird, offbeat electronics that were getting recorded in the late 60s – but more tuneful, keyboard-based modes that really transformed the scene at the time, and helped change up the way sound ...
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)
A keyboard-heavy groover from the great Italian sound library label Vedette – one that features loads of sweet organ and piano lines in many flavors – all mixed with the kind of lovely instrumentation we find in our favorite Italian soundtracks too! Lee Selmoco is actually one of the ...
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 ...
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! The music here is great – work from a time when jingles for TV and radio ads were like mini ...
De Wolfe (UK), 1971. New Copy (reissue)
One of the coolest records ever from the legendary De Wolfe sound library in the UK – a set that's great not only for the work of Brit maestro Roger Webb, but also for the vocals delivered by Barbara Moore – a legendary session singer with a hell of a jazzy touch! Webb's charts are ...
Madlib Invazion, 2024. New Copy
Henkel is Keven Henkel – who plays a whole host of instruments here on a session of stripped-down sound library funk – keyboards, electronics, trumpet, flute, guitar, violin, and even a bit of zither – all with just the right amount of funky drum accompaniment from Gabriel Rowland! ...
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! The approach is spacey and dreamy, yet still very funky – as the keys handle as much rhythm ...
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 ...
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! Gabriel Rowland hails from Los Yesterdays, and he definitely brings a current of west coast funk to the set – some Latin elements mixed with ...
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! The album's billed as "mood music especially composed to aid the growing of your plants" ...
Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1973. New Copy (reissue)
One of the grooviest records ever cut by Brit easy maestro Harry Roche – and a set that's got plenty of sweet 70s touches in the mix, at a level that really opens things up in a great way! The set's got some key Fender Rhodes from Alaln Branscombe, who has a very unique touch on the ...
Tele Music/Be With (UK), 1976. New Copy (reissue)

Omicron/Dialogo (Italy), 1975. New Copy

GAD (Poland), Early 80s. New Copy
If you like 80s keyboards, you'll find plenty to love here – as Krzystof Duda works on a whole host of classic keys – Arp Axxe, Micromoog, Korg Polysix, Solina String Ensmeble, Hohner Clavinet, and even a bit of Fender Rhodes – used mostly on tunes that just feature Duda himself, ...
Canopo (Italy), Early 1970s. New Copy
