Style: Mysterious Vibes

Format: LP
Label: Polydor

Year: 1981

Condition: NM/VG

The world's least favourite Rolling Stone and lover of young Mandy recorded this mysterious soundtrack at the turn to the 80s. Weird Tropicalia meets Dark Ambients bits until Slow Cosmic hits the fan. Creepy synth drones take control again but suddenly they transform into fluffy clouds of love. What a trip!

Here's an odd french library album by the rather unknown composer Serge Franklin. Maybe you have heard of his alias - Adjenar Sidhar Khan :) This LP includes the obscure hit Rainbow Riders - perfect Massiera-like psych-disco with phasing drums etc.... and check out South Is South too. To my ears this is sounding like it could be a track from Rob's first LP

Thomas is playing Dick Hymen to the wall with these sick and fuzzy synth funk jams. Space age library madness. Too bad the cover is that wavy at the back bottom...

Style: Easy Breaks / Suspense & Amore / Theremin & Kluster

Format: LP
Label: Pinciana

Year: 1974

Condition: VG+/VG+

What an eerie emotional library gem. Funky Canzone, next to dramatic sounds for crime scenes, next to Theremin winds, next to outta space synthesizer noodles and the cherry on top is the last track - something sounding like made inbetween the first two Kluster LPs and Zuckerzeit. WTF!!!

The album looks great but plays with occasional light crackle (pressing?) and like most copies the OG cover showed massive waterstains. I took the chance to deconstruct the cover and make it a unique piece of art (I may say that since I have a degree in fine arts ;)

Label: Sonoton

Year: 1980

Condition: NM/NM

The full title of this library is Dramatic Sounds And Movements Vol. 1 - Catastrophe And Aftermat. It's filled with dark ambient and experimental sounds, partially sounding like musique concrete. If you don't have any experimental film lying around that needs some musical background you might use it for far out mixtapes or sample the heck out of it

Mladen Franko is back with part 2 of his lovely waves. If you dig your funk with a little cheese - here's a feast for you. My fave is the funky On The Truck with a guitar lick borrowed from Lamont Dozier's Going Back To My Roots but those Satin Eyes are also damn beautiful...

The cover doesn't look very promising but it holds one of the sickest funky libraries recorded in Germany. Seriously! Infectious grooves, crime scene funk, cheese disco, etc it's all there! Most diggers are after the Munich Big Band on the same label, but this one here is even better imho. Listen and you'll hear!!

LISTEN! (low res soundfile, the record sounds marvellous)
