Joel Vandroogenbroeck

Coloursound CS 78 - California - Industrial & Scenic Moods
(V.D.B. Joel & Marc Monsen, 1988)

Coloursound CS 79 - AVisions
(V.D.B. Joel, 1988)

Two nice albums from the munich based library label Coloursound. Joel Vandroogenbroeck alias V.D.B. Joel is responsible for some electronic, spacey, cosmic moments and grooves.

Klaus Weiss Super Drumming

Sound Music Album 18
(Klaus Weiss, Golden Ring Records, 1979)

A typical sounding Klaus Weiss library record, similar to the sought after Selected Sound albums 'Time Signals' and 'Sound Inventions'. Lots of fabulous drum breaks, crazy synths, abstract grooves etc. At least two songs from this album have already been compiled. Enjoy this one!

Studio One

Studio One SO 2 - The Motion Explosion / The Pierre Lavin Pop Band (197?)

In my opinion one of the best releases on the Studio One label - a real funky nugget! Composers include Sonoton founder Gerhard Narholz, Helmuth Brandenburg, Sammy Burdson among others. Don't miss it!

Roland Kovac's progressive sounds

Selected Sound 9022 - God Means Joy
(Roland Kovac New Set, 1972)


Selected Sound 9038 - Gulliver
(Roland Kovac New Set, 1974)

Peer International Library (2)

No need to introduce those Peer libraries posted here, as most of you have already been looking for them for... i would say quite a time! Peer International libraries don't show up too often and if you find them, you should be willing to spend a few bucks... Well, here you have four really cool ones: funky, jazzy, bigband stuff with a few killer tracks that have already been comped. Enjoy!

Peer International Library PIL 9014 - Zenith
(Peter Dennis Orchestra, 1972)


Peer International Library PIL 9024 - Confrontation
(Frank Sterling Big Band, 1974)


Peer International Library PIL 9034 - Earth Shaker
(Midas Touch, 1976)


Peer International Library PIL 9040 - Point Blank
(Panther, 1978)

I've just added the front and back cover scans to one of my first posts - the two Europhon libraries ELP 542 & ELP 556, who are definitely worth a listen... Although you might have never heard a composer like Ulrich Sommerlatte before (what a name btw!) Well, have u?

Golden Ring Records

Golden Ring A 30 026 - Get Across
(Jürgen Franke, 1975)

This one is a real groover! Guitarist Jürgen Franke is well known for his funky work for the Frankfurt based Golden Ring label. On this LP you find the smasher 'Back Talk' which some of you might know from the 'German Funk Fieber Vol. 2' compilation. All in all, no real bad tunes, cool jazz funk. Enjoy!

Golden Ring A 30 022 - Invitation From Incognito Five
(Various Artists, 1975)

This LP contains lot of easy latin filled groovy jazz. Siegfried Schwab - the man who is responsible for the famous 'Vampyros Lesbos' soundtrack- is among the players and composers on this album.

Altaxon libraries - The Kenny Bird Orchestra / Lado's Latin Combination Vol. 1-4 are now available! Scroll down a bit!

April Music - April Orchestra

April Music APR 38 - April Orchestra Vol. 38
(Various Artists, 1981)

An interesting release from the obscure french library 'April Music', better known as April Orchestra. This release includes some to me - completey unknown - french composers, like Guy Bonnet or Roland Romanelli. Non of those April Music libraries contain album or title descriptions, which makes it quite difficult to have an idea of the music style. Sometimes the styles are completey mixed, this LP here features some nice electronics, pop, orchestral dramatics and atmospheric grooves. I like it!

Hudson Music

Hudson Music HMCS 524 - Dawn Of Man
(Paul Lewis, 1980)

A nice dramatic orchestral piece of soundtrack. No drums, no synthesizers - just atmospheric soundscapes - horns, strings, vibes, harps, flutes... Paul Lewis also composed for the Studio G library.
