since @havershaw is making me completely woozy with all this Patchwork flood, i wanted to try my luck on ebay.

i thought you are going to execute me @havershaw, since my max bid was only 10€. never thought i am going to get this...

the other ones auctioned went for even less but think they were really not interesting.

@million

Nice bargain! I had pretty much given up lookin for records on eBay due to crazy prices. I guess I need to reassess.

I also have patchwork 34, energie, pretty much all those later perraudin and lasry patchworks are on my wantlist at the mo, just waiting for the right price.

yes, it is. really funny how three people went all in and auction ended at 7€...battle of the beggars, LOL

[havershaw]

@million nice! sweet deal!

Folk electronic classical on Umiliani's label Video voice. Has some alternative tracks from what sounds like Crepuscolo di mare. Like the A side a lot, the pressing has this nice spacious sound with the classical guitar

[texasvinyl]

this is one of those records that gets better and you hear new things every time you listen to it

[milliondollars]

great to see these Umiliani spins! Aria Di Paese is such an underrated record. the picture always reminds me of a italian mountain village i have visited. had some good paste there. lovely stuff... (the pasta and the record!)

[Steve Powder]

Love that Continente Nero record

[Steve Powder]

I also want to go to Italy some day!

[milliondollars]

Love that Continente Nero record

you need to visit the Continente Nero, too!

the good thing about library is, that you can visit all these places without travelling, just by closing your eyes.

[Dollarhyde]

Great Umiliani spins!

Saw this on discogs a patchwork sampler covering a lot of their releases, annoyingly lots of 30 second snippets but still an interesting record. Anyone know if other library labels did something similar

[milliondollars]

interesting indeed @Dollarhyde. never seen this but i think i came across another record like that. might have been Selected Sound from Germany but i am not 100% sure. will try to find it.

***edit***
i have mistaken it for this Berry Lipman record, where the have taken tunes from his previous library records and commercial releases to wrap it inside a library record.

[ChrisMcQueen007]

Continente Nero is high on my wishlist (but as with many Library records the OGs are costly …).

Was not aware of Area di Paese, that one looks nice and affordable. :)

[milliondollars]

this has nothing to do with library music and i don't get the connection but that cover...looks too familiar. what would Anna Leonardi say if she knew?

I'm tempted to check the patchwork sampler, it would be cool to see how a library label back in the day would present their catalogue like this.

Would the 1 or 2 banger s that most would dig these days be the same tracks they would use to promote an LP back in the day?


As to the Arawak cover cover, they should use America Giovane 2 for the next cover, love that sleeve.

I remain obsessed with this record. This one and Atom Flowers never stay off the deck for long.

[havershaw]

Oof. Brutal week at work - no time to spin any of the new stuff I got last week. Finally slowing down a little now (though I’m out of town next week - it’s killing me that I got like 30 new records last week and I didn’t realize how busy the next couple of weeks are for me).

That trio of Nicolai records I got that I haven’t been able to play are *killing me*.

dang, how have I not heard Continente Nero?! at least there’s a cheap reissue of it I can grab (unless any of you think the reissue is trash).

@texas totally agree on B 85.

and from the single track I was able to find from the Aria DI Paese I found online, I was smitten. Found one cheap here in the US! thanks for the tip.

[texasvinyl]

Have not heard dagored one normally they do a pretty decent job. I guess there is a bootleg one? Haven't seen it.

I also have a flac rip of the album if you want

[texasvinyl]

Been a couple years since I last gave this a spin. Great record. Reissue sounds nice.

[havershaw]

@texas I would love a rip of that! Going on a road trip Sunday so it’ll be good music for the car. Thanks.

That’s the Funky Tramway I have. Love that one.

[havershaw]

Speaking of MP2000 -

I hate that I’m a big enough nerd that I get a lot of satisfaction out of a pic like this.
Also, that Funky Tramway is the only reissue that didn’t put numbers on the back of the jacket. :/

anyway, I’m getting close to having most of what I want in MP2000. Here’s what I’ve currently got.
There are probably only 4-5 others I really want (and most of them I’ve never seen for sale).

[ChrisMcQueen007]

Cool pic! And STBC is the place where we can all celebrate our nerdism.

Been a couple years since I last gave this a spin. Great record. Reissue sounds nice.

Love this one. Great sleeve art by Mrs Nilovic!

Hey Texas, can you also send me the Continente Nero rip? Thanks

Your rips sound so good, been jamming to a lot of them like that bossa record vittoria Impiagli aswell as others
