another old cheapo from the lovely Grifo label. easy and old fashioned smoothnes composed by Fusco and Sorgini. it's a shame what these greedy discogs sellers ask for, but they will probably never sell it...

Big surprise today when I found like 20 De Wolfe libraries at the local shop, even better they were nearly all $5 except one or two. The Sliced Orange was the highest at 15 along with one called "Alternatives". I grabbed a few and the rest on hold but not sure if I'll take them... I sampled a bunch and the rest seemed underwhelming.

The ones I took were Alternatives, Hot Night, Live Free, Free Style, Super Ride, Man of the Moment, Bumper Bundle, Jack Trombey Orchestral N.1, and one called Interlace on the Rouge label.

I left Movie Go-Round Vol 2, Pastoral Music, Guitar Lines, Sight & Sound, High & Counting, Viewpoint, Cantilena, Traveller, Moods for Classical Guitar, Cuts for Commercials 1, World of Percussion & Tuned Percussion 2, and one called Kites on the Rouge label.

Should I go back and get any of those? They were all $5 each. I don't know much about the de Wolfe libraries.

Good Lord, Tex, the self control! Splurge, man. Splurge! It's not like you've got a kid on the way for crying out loud.

Eagerly awaiting $1,000,000's nightly check in.

[texasvinyl]

I like this one, there are some pretty smooth tracks on here

[Mateo Sanboval]

I like smooth. And that cover is...ridiculous.

[Spun out of control]

Mr Trunk's re-press of Time Signals has arrived, a little battered but perfectly playable.

Some lovely electronic sounds yet much more percussive in places than I'd imagined...

...but then I hadn't fully twigged Herr Weiss's background included him being the drummer of Niagara

@Texas: i'm not very familiar with the De Wolfes you mentioned but from what i can see, you did not miss anyhting great. like that Red Kite one on Rouge though...

[milliondollars]

@Spun: nice to see the Time Signals repress. i could not resist to grab a copy because Trunk releases have great liner notes usually. looking forward to get it.

making my way through about 40-50 Selected Sound records right now. damn, so many treasures i've been sleeping on. the title of this one describes my feelings about it exactly. awesome fuzzy jazzy funky psychedelic jams by the great Kovac...

[milliondollars]

got my Time Signals repress through but i did not have time to break the seal yet. the liners are interesting again and knowing that Time Signals was used for a porn movie with Seka is a big fun fact. will try to get the DVD for sure! curious how the music matches the scenes. must be a wild one, haha! it is also nice to know that cues from the Nymphe record on Selected Sound have been used for this particular porno flic. after reading this i rushed to the shelf and threw the record on the platter instantly. looking at the record closely i can understand why they used it as background music for porn. track titles like Traumfrau (woman of your dreams?), Nymphe (nympho?), Hammersonate (hammer sonata?), Oiltime (lubricant?) and Straps (lingerie?) are pretty obvious allusions if you ask me.

the title track made it on the Music Library 10" for a good reason...

@1,000,000 - Love seeing all of these Selected Sound LPs, mang. Some real gold in them thar hills.

[milliondollars]

@Mateo: i keep spinning those bronze bricks...

always thought this one is seriously overpriced. probably because this one attracts so many different collectors? it has something for the psych geeks, early beat heads, library nerds and the funk gladiators. recommended if you find a cheap copy...

where the hell did yesterday posts go? probably disappeared in a Unknown World??

anyway... still playing the electronic experimentals of Gerhard Trede. i made it from a Untamed World to the Unknown World within one day, haha! really enjoy these albums a lot. Untamed World is the funkier progressive one while Unknown World is more mysterious. really funny describtion on the back cover. the cues are suitable for giant ants, bird men, cancer research, exotic landscape and meditation. probably not your average library. i can imagine this being a score to a weird horror B movie...

[milliondollars]

going through the last few Gerhard Trede ones. this one made for documentaries is divided in two parts: Points Of Vision and Fields Of Vision. whatever the difference might be, i like the B side a lot more. it sounds very familiar. like a italian library a la Boneschi. another nice bronze nugget...

[milliondollars]

who the hell is Otto Weiss? maybe related to Klaus Weiss?? his father? uncle?? whatever! this record is great! super smooth compositions. i would not be surprized to find these in a vintage prno flic one day. very similar to Soft Illusions on Bruton. one if you need to vibe out. the title of the record says it all...

[milliondollars]

after playing the Liuto pressing i decided to let the St Germain Des Pres pressings go and thought this is a good reason for some library record porn.

the evil twin brother and the unidentical twins...

[Mateo Sanboval]

Damn, $1,000,000, you must have all the books in the library by now. It's unreal.

Piero Umiliani - Due Temi Con Variazioni

Great jazz variations and one of my favorite library cover art

[Mateo Sanboval]

It's real and it's spectacular. A hat tip to $1,000,000.00 for the assist. I truly got a great price on this making it sound all the sweeter.

[milliondollars]

^love that one. certainly a outstanding library record. enjoy @Mateo: you made a great deal for sure...

[milliondollars]

still busy making my way through the crazy world of Gerhard Trede...

this one is sought after by producers and beat diggers because of the phasing drums on side B. of course it is nice and the cues kick ass when you play it out loud but for me side A is where it's at. great abstract fuzzy cues. the people at Waxidemy share my opinion (or i should rather say i share theirs). found this review of the record yesterday: http://waxidermy.com/phasing-drums-electronic-sounds/

had these records for a long time but never paid them much attention. the more Trede stuff i am listening to, the more i claim what underrated genius he is. check him out...

https://www.discogs.com/Gerhard-Trede-J ... se/1829836

[milliondollars]

just played this one. it is a beautiful journey into vintage easy funk and lounge beats. just incredible. inspirational food for my brain even if many cues are very short. essential library...

Killer record! Been after a copy of rhythmes for a long time always too much money.

Connection - G. Borreani
De Wolfe Dws3358

Lots of thanks to @1000000$ for recommending this nugget.

[Mateo Sanboval]

Yup, I blame $1,000,000.00 for my relatively newfound Borreani obsession as well. The difference being I've not yet found a copy worth the cost of purchase and import. Nice score, Dollar!

[milliondollars]

thet Stellar Workshop is amazing! will keep my eyes open for a cheap copy @Mateo
you need one in your life!
