Afternoon spins while prepping dinner, it's been a bit since I've thrown these on

Dressel Amorosi - Spectrum


I highly recommend this album. I'm not really sure if it's technically a Library record but it's clearly inspired and emulating late 70's/80's synth driven Library music. This album is excellent, I got my copy last night and it went for two complete spins back to back before I switched to something else. If you're unfamiliar with the group they released their first album through Giallo Disco then did a tape release of the same album through Spun Out of Control. Composed of the duo Heinrich Dressel (Valerio Lombardozzi) who handles the synth end of things and Federico Amorosi on bass (he played with Simonetti's Goblin for a few years).

You can stream the whole thing over at bandcamp https://fourfliesrecords.bandcamp.com/album/spectrum

Need more Greg foat albums! Only picked one up so far

Currently enjoying this Gino Marinacci record, it’s very good Italian jazz with lovely arrangements for flute piano trombone bass and piano. And it’s a real all star group. Recorded in Sound Work Shop studio. I like that trombone is the only horn, dino piana is awesome on this lp

[texasvinyl]

Been listening to this one a lot lately, excellent bossa tracks Baronconi + Bruno D’Amario, a couple are really nice like Sylvia and B1 Simplemente

Sorgini - Africa Oscura

This one is so good. For some reason it's one I don't own but I listen to it a lot digitally

[milliondollars]

hope you guys do well! i am still alive and spinning library records almost every day but mostly too busy to post...

this is something that kept my eary busy over the past few weeks. been literally obsessed with these albums.

Make (listening to) America Great Again!

there is a strong connection between these which seem to be cut from the same cloth. musically these are the ultimate lounge monsters. sleazy easy listening madness from early 80s at is't best. but not only the music and the theme topics are very similar. it seems as the same artists are behind those four albums. Simoncini (aka Arawak) is credited on American Bus and U.S.A. Picnic, but One Week In New York contains alternate versions of the latter one, so he is technically involved in all three. another similarity is the unknown sound engineer F. Watermelon, who appears on all but U.S.A. Picnic. the name is so ridiculously shabby, it can't exist in real life. the fact they came up with this funny pseudonym in the USA themes context is amusing and brilliant alike. there are even more overlaps in credits and musicians. even if they sound very similar, each has it's own touch, like the wordless vocals on One Week In San Francisco for example.

U.S.A. Picnic is my favourite one at the moment but it might change after each spin. highly recommended hunting these down. no reissues seem to exist but luckily they seem to be available in digital format at least. happy listening and a great weekend!

Good to see you are still kicking and spinning! That American Bus album is great, I need to check out the rest

nice one @Bez! really like this one. it is a mix of solid grooves and mental craziness.

[milliondollars]

sunny sunday spin. really love this Travel Agency album. it is much in the same vein as the american albums posted above. not much known about Lilliana Ferri, the female composer behind this album. i love the credits on the back, where none of the eight names can be found in discogs database. surely this does not mean nothing but chances are high, that all of those names are made up. recorded and mixed in at Brick Recording Studios C.A., lol

highly recommended and overseen album from the Leonardi vaults. whole thing is a blast!
