Unusual Sounds ANTHOLOGY RECORDINGS, 2018 2LP "In the heyday of low-budget television and scrappy genre filmmaking, producers who needed a soundtrack for their commercial entertainments could reach for a selection of library music: LPs of stock recordings whose contents fit any mood required. Though at the time, the use of such records was mostly a cost-cutting maneuver for productions that couldn't afford to hire their own composer, the industry soon took on its own life: library publishers became major financial successes, and much of the work they released was truly extraordinary. In fact, many of these anonymous or pseudonymous scores-on-demand were crafted by the some of the greatest musical minds of the late 20th century, expert musicians and innovative composers who revelled in the freedoms offered, paradoxically, by this most corporate of fields. "Unusual Sounds" is a deep dive into a musical universe that has, until now, been accessible only to producers and record collectors; a celebration of this strange industry and an examination of its unique place at the nexus of art and commerce. This compilation includes compositions by Brainticket founder Joel Vandroogenbroeck, KPM Allstars John Cameron and Keith Mansfield, Montenegrin-born composer Janko Nilovi?, and the Italian film composer Stefano Torossi amongst others. Album art by Robert Beatty." New Condition - Never Played - Still Sealed Satisfaction Guaranteed!
