Switched-On Eugene ... CD 
Numero, Mid 80s. New Copy ... $7.99 15.98
The world of moogy music first exploded back in the late 60s – when artists like Bruce Haack, Perry-Kingsley, and others were making all these wonderfully weird records that featured heavy analogue electronics and other playful elements! By the 80s, most of that music had gone away – ... read more CD

Unusual Sounds ... CD Anthology, Late 60s/1970s. New Copy ... $10.99 11.99
The sounds here aren't that unusual at all – and in fact, they're mostly pretty darn groovy – a superb selection of sound library funk from the glory days of the European scene – collected here together in support of the book of the same name! In case you're new to the scene ... read more CD
Gianni Safred —
Futuribile – The Life To Come ... LP 
Four Flies (Italy), 1978. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $32.99
A really great set of Italian electronics – a set that's maybe known better to Americans than most of the generation, due to a surprising 70s release on Folkways Records! Yet this set is quite different than the more academic electronics that usually grace that label – and echo more ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Alessandro Alessandroni —
Spontaneous (180 gram pressing) ... LP Four Flies (Italy), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $32.99
Stunning rare work from Alessandro Alessandroni – a soundtrack talent who first flourished in the 60s, but really hit his stride in the sound library scene of the 70s! Alessandroni has a great way here of mixing the warm and the sweet, the funky and the melodic – tunes that are short ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dancefloor Stompers —
Librerie Musicali ... LP Four Flies (Italy), 2018. New Copy ... $22.99
A cool little funky group – one that's so influenced by the sound library scene of the 70s, they even styled this album like one of those records from back in the day! The tunes are almost all instrumental – heavy on drums and funky basslines, and filled with guitar, organ, electric ... (Deep Funk, Sound Library) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Piero Umiliani —
Studio Umiliani – Rare & Unreleased Tracks From The Sound Workshop Archives 1967 to 1983 (with bonus CD) ... LP Four Flies (Italy), Late 60s/1970s/Early 80s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $36.99
A totally cool set from Piero Umiliani – an Italian composer who was so inventive, he had to create his own studio just to find a space to express all of his many ideas! And while Umiliani's more experimental side has gotten a lot of attention in recent years, a lot of the tracks here are in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Giuliano Sorgini —
Africa Oscura – Afro-Dark Electronic Percussions ... 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 ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD
Daniela Casa/
Four Flies (Italy), Mid 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99
We're not sure how to translate "Baterasso" – but to us, the word may well just mean "funk" – as the tune's this funky monster with heavy drums, a great-paced bassline, and these claps that move all up and down the groove alongside some percussion! "Canottaggio& ... (Funky 45's, Sound Library) read more 7-inch, Vinyl record

Escape In Time – Popular British Television Themes Of The 60s ... CD El (UK), 1960s. New Copy ... $6.99 13.99
Way more than just the usual collection of famous British TV themes from the 60s – as this set offers up some great rare nuggets, unusual versions, and some obscure tracks that are all pretty darn fresh to our American years! As you well know if you're a fan of anything pop culture from this ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD
John Baker —
John Baker Tapes Vol 1 – BBC Radiophonics – Rare & Unreleased Workshop Recordings 1963 to 1974 ... CD Trunk (UK), 1960s/Mid 70s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Strange themes and weird electronics from John Baker – one of the coolest composers at the BBC in the 60s and 70s, heard here in a batch of 49 rare tracks! Most numbers are quite short – commercial or TV theme length – but the brevity of the tunes is part of their charm, as the ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD

Henk Badings & Dick Raaijmakers —
Evolutions, Contrasts, & Electronic Music ... LP Fantome Phonographique (Italy), Mid 50s. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
A treasure trove of early electronic music from these two Dutch giants of the field – both every bit as important as the more widely-circulated French artists of the musique concrete generation! Badings is featured here on a number of great tracks – including the sublime "Capriccio ... (Out Sound, Sound Library) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Massimo Guantini (Sandro Brugnolini) —
Diapositive ... LP Gemelli/Loneos Editions (Italy), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $31.99
A sound library album from the Italian 70s scene – but one that's more like a jazz record overall, given that it's the product of musician Sandro Brugnolini, working under an assumed name – a cat who gave the world plenty of great jazz records in his day! There's a nice mix of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Plus —
Plus (includes bonus 7" single) ... LP Veals & Geeks (Belgium), 1972. New Copy LP + 7" (reissue)... $22.99
Kind of an offshoot of the Marc Moulin world of the early 70s – the self-titled album from Plus, a group made up of musicians from the funky combo Placebo! The vibe is much more open than Placebo, but still shares lots of that group's great talent for mixing together jazz, funk, and trippy ... (Rock, Sound Library) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes a bonus pic sleeve single – with the tracks "Kentucky Woman" and "Changing".)
Brian Bennett/KPM/Be With (UK), 1974. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99
Very groovy work from these two Brit sound library greats – loads of funky tunes, and great keyboards too – all served up in a massively funky record that was never issued to the public at large! Had this set hit the real record racks in 1974, it might well have challenged some of the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Arawak —
Accadde A ... LP Golden Pavilion (Portugal), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
Amazing grooves from Arawak – an obscure Italian combo from the 70s sound library days – and one who work here in a wickedly sharp take on funky jazz! The group's got some great flute in the lead – sometimes biting hard over the breaks, ala Jeremy Steig – sometimes floating ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Brian Bennett —
Voyage – A Journey Into Discoid Funk ... LP DJM/Isle Of Juara (Netherlands), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99
A voyage from Brian Bennett – indeed a trip into disco and funk inspired rhythms, as the subtitle lets us know, but also plenty synthy rock, jazz and proggy elements – a Voyage worth taking from the sound library genius Bennett! The synths and keyboards by Francis Monkman is the secret ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
