Haven't seen that Sonaura label before though!hats off and congratulations, sir. you are a sophisticated digger! in the past 20 years i did not have the chance to listen to 200 of them in total...

I listened to them all on the store's preview deck thinking surely there must be a diamond in the rough. Other than that I probably only see one or two a year in the wild. I wonder if they turn up more often in new york or LAtexasvinyl wrote:Not much is known or catalogued about American libraries, and I so seldom see them in the wild.

I agree with @texas though, most of the ones I have heard are really cheesy with maybe one or two decent cuts. I posted a few of them in the library thread last year. This Sonaura label looks nice, although i'm not finding any additional information other than what's on discogs.

Dominique Guiot contributed to the french library scene from the late 70s to late 80s. i don't know much of his other stuff but i can certainly claim, that this record is his masterpiece. it was released on the obscure Chicago 2000 label and later on Auvidis. is fairly easy to find and cheap, too...go & grab it if you like it...but be quick!
many people claim this is one of the best libraries ever. you can listen to the full thing on youtube to get that underwater feeling, haha!
