Need to expand this section of my library stuff. This is the UK/French/German/US library cube. Throw me your best budget library recommendations!! Like $25-35 and under stuff.

^that one lonesome Coloursound is breaking my heart. it needs some likeminded friends...

where are the KPM's and where are the Brutons, by the way?

[Dollarhyde]

I would say some jack arel & Pierre dutour, or some Jean Claude petit is essential French library that can be got cheap. Thier output in the Chappell Dance & Mood Music series DMM.

There are some sleeper bangers on Amphonic. Music pour l'image is also a good french label but maybe not so cheap for the good ones.

I don't have many kpm or bruton! Alta Tensioni is a bruton record with flipper style artwork. And I have one called Images, it's okay. For KPM I have communication, it had the old Alamo Drafthouse jingle on it. And a voices in harmony reissue.

The pink/purple sleeve Bruton stuff (BRM series) is all pretty good as far as I’m concerned, but none of it is super cheap right now.
I’m still missing a few but the overseas shipping is killing me every time I buy one of these. But there are at least 3 more I want.
(the light is weird on my couch right now so you get the floor)

I’m knee deep in work right now but I can surely recommend some MP2000 stuff later tonight (I have to refresh my memory on prices).
I recall there were a bunch that were super cheap and really good.
Also, I really loved Turn On (Golden Ring), which I got quite cheap.

coincidentally, I also have a German/French library shelf and this is it:

Here’s my weird De Wolfe/Bruton/Alessandroni shelf.

I do have more British (synchrofox, Southern, KPM) but they’re being moved to another shelf right now (I’m in the process of rearranging everything).

[texasvinyl]

Nice!

Hurry on this one, surely won't last at only €12,000. Bargain of the century!!

[texasvinyl]

Been a while since I put this on. Lovely record, one of the best Nicolai on the Edipan label.

The full album is on youtube:

Another trip down psychedelic lane, really liking this one today. The Nascimbene drone track reminds me of the Macchi deserto record. I think last time I posted someone said that track maybe came from another record earlier

@texas I didn’t know about this Nicolai record!! Fantastic.

Does anyone know anything about his Kalendimaggio LP? Can’t seem to find anything of it online and it always seems to be inexpensive.

I saw this last night and my guffaw almost knocked my covid-19 mask off.

[texasvinyl]

I don't remember Kalendimaggio but if I find time I will rip it

[havershaw]

thanks @texas!

[milliondollars]

great stuff folks!

@havershaw: love the pink Bruton series, one if the few complete Bruton series i own actually...

@texasvinyl: come on, hit that purchase now button on discogs. you need that Feelings album. you know it! :)

@Jimmy_Mike: this L'uomo Nello Spazio is amazing! need to hear it again, thanks for reminding me...

[milliondollars]

really fantastic late 80s library! Gruppo Sound is more like a dummy name for the Flipper empire. most of them that i have heard are not interesting but Paris-Dakar is really great! cool trip around the world with Vulcano being one of the best and most atmospheric underwater cues ever to be heard on a library record (believe me!). this one should be kept on the radar...

Thanks for the rally library recommendation, maybe I can find one.

This morning I'm listening to Jumping on Edipan which is underappreciated. It's light but a lovely record and certainly better than a lot of the chaff on Edipan. I think it cost me $20 several years back. Even has a slow burn funky conga/bongo synthy dirty flute track called Africa

[texasvinyl]

thanks @texas!

You don't want this one. It is solo classical guitar in a baroque style and terrible

Oh well they can't all be winners

Haha, thanks. I figured if it were great, it would be way more expensive.

I know there are some sleepers out there but I thought it was weird that there weren’t any vids of it online.

This slab of Sorgini sweetness keeping me sane this morning

really love this Sorgini @ScoJo! one of his hidden masterpieces and in my Sorgini top 5 for sure...

Speaking of they're not all good....this umiliani is all terrible clown music

[havershaw]

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH TERRIBLE CLOWN MUSIC

I was a kid in the 70s but I don’t remember that many clown movies and TV shows needing music.
