I would suspect many other lurkers are doing the same. .

your suspicion is correct! :)

[milliondollars]

i always thought this one is a quite overseen De Wolfe title but when i look at the number of people who have it in their discogs want list i may be wrong.

Rubba is one of those imaginary bands where the real band players get covered up. possibly for contracting and licensing reasons. my guess is that the line-up is totally different on every album as the instruments obviously are. the thing is, if you like one particular Rubba record, it does not preserve you from absolutely hating other Rubba records if you understand what i am trying to say, haha!

anyway, i like this one a lot and it is composed by Jacky Giordano under his Joachim Sherylee pseudonym which he has used from the late 70s onwards. the music is different to his earlier work on Freesound, Sonimage or IM which he is famous for. the record is kind of proggy (Pink Floyd infuences?), synthetical (Tangerine Dream-esque?) but still very funky, jazzy and driving and maybe this is the reason why many different pepole are interested in it. it reflects the music from 1980 quite well in my opinion. again some kind people have uploaded most of the tunes on youtube. i like the B side a lot more for some reason...

That Claude Lagoon sounds great, need to give it a full listen, thanks for the tip!

The only Claude I know in the library world is of the Perraudin variety. I have a couple by him both very odd and good :)

Like the de Wolfe too, but those discogs prices, Ha ha ha ha!?!?!

[milliondollars]

@Dollar: i guess you mean Claude Larson :)

i have two or three Claude Perraudin on Patchwork and they are great. definitely a artist to keep on the radar...thanks for reminding me to look for even more records, haha!

[milliondollars]

was just listening to another covered up band called The Clear Light Band. another record composed by the great Jacky Giordano under the Joachim Sherylee pseudonym. this is actually bloody good and once on the platter it keeps rotating for several runs. stunning jazzy and funky record all the way through. when i hear this record, i can't believe how people can pay several hundred dollars for some obscure unlistenable shit, when this record outshines a lot of so called classic without hesitation.

highly recommended record that can be purchased for quite cheap if you have a little time. again full album up on youtube. well, almost full. the person that has uploaded it has removed two tunes (Highlights and Pick Up) for unknown reasons...

Auto correct thought it should be lagoon. I thought it had a nice ring to it, so left it.

Legume would have been better ;D

[milliondollars]

last week i went into the ring to battle on the unholy ebay grounds. it cost me half a fortune but i made it out alive and won.

so glad i picked this one up! just have listed the record on discogs and wrote down a short review...

[thewaystation]

Ah, so it was you who bagged it. Well played, sir! I battled as well for that one, but lost, obviously. Great description, which puts the record in an interesting perspective. Hopefully another occasion for purchase will present itself, some day.

[milliondollars]

sorry for outbidding you but i had to have it. but you came pretty close! $80 was my max bid. crazy blind buy if you ask me. never heard of it before. i mean, this could have been straight rubbish. boy, oh boy...

anyway, a really interesting album and i recommend to be on the look out.

[milliondollars]

kept spinning this one for the last two days...

https://www.discogs.com/Various-Speleol ... e/10614039

[milliondollars]

also played this for the first time. many thanks @Dollarhyde for this little gem!!! there is too much titles in the Musique Pour L'Image that i would like to own still and this was one of them. finally crossed off the list.

really like the selection, quite a colourful mix which consists of easy jazzy styles mainly. nice record that remindes me of the Vetrina Musicale series somehow...

Glad you are enjoying it @milliondollars! It's a great record.

I think that MPI has arguably the best library cover artwork out there IMO.

I'm keeping hold of these two :)

Giampiero Boneschi - A new sensation in Sound vol. 2
Cam CML 064 1974
https://www.discogs.com/Giampiero-Bones ... se/4146141

This thread needs more Boneschi! An underated artist IMO, considering his output (a lot).
There is a ghostly surreal edge to his sound on these cam lps. I don't own any music by the caretaker but whenever I read descriptions of his music I always think of Boneschi, and the Great Ball Room in The Shining.

The tracks 'sisy' and 'new situation' are my favourites on this one, both give me a Lynch Twin Peaks vibe.
No spoilers please! ;)

[thewaystation]

@dollarhyde - What a coincidence. Was / Am listening to Boneschi when I logged on to read the new posts. The one I am listening to is CmL 042: A New Sensation in Sound (Themes, Rhythmic and Abstractionisms [sic!]):
https://www.discogs.com/de/Giampiero-Bo ... se/6373346

It sounds very cold, quite clinical, spacey and dark (as to the Caretaker comparison, I think the mood is similar but the Caretaker is more organic and intimate whereas the Boneschi tracks I know are making a point of being machine music).
I'd love to hear more Boneschi or to read about his releases, some of which even have identical titles, making his oeuvre quite hard to explore. It doesn't help that clips are quite rare, at least on discogs.

There's one more Boneschi that I own, it has the same title as the one you write about (!) but it's CmL044 and subtitled "Fantastic, futuristic music)". It is a great record, particularly "Saturn's Ambush", but the album is a great listen throughout:
https://www.discogs.com/de/Giampiero-Bo ... se/6056874

Any other Boneschis you (or other people) would recommend? Both that I know are totally unhinged, I'd love to know more.

Here's the Ambush. So fresh!

Saturn's Ambush is an awesome cut.

[Dollarhyde]

@waystation

I know the track Saturn's Ambush but nice to hear the whole lp is a good listen.

I once had another in the new sensation in sound.
https://www.discogs.com/Giampiero-Bones ... se/5880036

The track 'Soul beat' on it is really great, part of me regrets parting with it.

The other lp on cam of his that I've been after for well over a decade is this one.
https://www.discogs.com/Giampiero-Bones ... se/6366394

I have a bootleg CD I bought years ago, that may be my youtube clip that is still up there :D

His later stuff on other labels can be quite different.

I once had this one too, the track 'meditative' is NOT the track from sounds of a new voice.

[thewaystation]

@dollarhyde

Thank you for the pointers. These albums are quite different from the two I have, especially that elusive CmL 062 is much more soulful indeed. I have come across quite a few Boneschis in the wild when travelling in Italy recently so I'll keep my eyes peeled for you if/when I'll be there again.

[milliondollars]

@Dollar: agreed on Rhythms on Tele Music. one of the best on this classic french label... had to pull it out immediately after your post since i did not hear it in a while...

https://www.discogs.com/Tonio-Rubio-Rhy ... se/1687042

[milliondollars]

also agreed on Boneschi! a really strong artist with a big output. always when i look at the listings at discogs i know that i don't know, haha!

if i had to recommend only one, it would be this one though. such an incredible record. easy & beautiful but not cheesy at all. so much magic in it! solid all the way through without any fillers. i would grade this as one of the 5 best electronic libraries that i have ever heard. listen to the soundclip with a good selection from the record. strangely my favourite track is not included...

Was hoping for you to chime in as well, @milliondollars. That's another new one for me. When it comes to Music Scene I have so far been mainly interested in the nervous jazz of the Rocchi/Barigozzi releases but I really like the extracts from #118 as well.

[milliondollars]

just played some more titles from the great IM label. Eddie Warners Progressive Percussions are absolutely classic. i like vol.2 a lot more but vol.1 is essential, too. it's really crazy when you think vol.1 was released in 1968. this must have been way ahead of it's time...

Wow! Never heard that Boneschi before @milliondollars, great stuff!

There is another Boneschi Lp on my radar but I don't have a copy.

https://www.discogs.com/Sergio-Farina-G ... se/6066151

Also didn't realise the IM catalogue went back to the late 60's :0

[milliondollars]

just played another Jacky Giordano fake band output on De Wolfe. this one i actually like the most. the title says Play It Again and i take this term literally. once this is up the platter, it stays there for a while...

the fake bands name is Hot Fudge this time and was used for this particular record only. musically the style is super easy but not cheesy. light and rhythmic vibes that could have made it into a prono flick for example. the bands title would fit quite well IMHO. i would compare this record to Jacky Giordano Organ on IM even if the instrumentation is a little different...

the funny thing about this release is that Jacky Giordano has used his pseudonym Joachim Sherylee again but only on the cover of the record. on the label of side A it says J. Giordano in the brackets behind the tracks. again on side B it is J. Giordano for half of them and J.Sherylee for the rest. the perfect confusion if you ask me, haha!
