Besides listening to that beautiful music, library music if often a nice sample resource for Beatmakers... so, did I... and here we are back with a new release on showup records:
BOB FLAPS - On The Move [showup records – showup 10lp]
Producer, record collector, rare groove compiler, mastering engineer, drum breaks archivist and avid beat builder. All of this applies to Bob Flaps!
"On the Move" is a continuous, atmospheric instrumental album, packed with organic grooves and samples, warm spacey sounds, which merge mosaic-like and seamlessly into each other.
Flaps' signature drum grooves and sounds are unmistakably, originating from his own collection of well over 5000 drum loops!
All the beats sound deep, dope and are lovingly arranged down to the smallest detail and provide for continuous head nodding...
"On the Move" is full of soundtrack & jazz melancholy, paired with a fresh breeze of Golden-Era-HipHop, spiced with the finest herbs of all music genres.
Bob Flaps takes us on a journey into the endless expanses of his Groove-galaxy and we glide and slide to an undiscovered planet that seems mystical, but is full of beauty and surprise! Newfangled phenomena like autotune or trapbeats are not part of this sound tapestry, which is woven consequently, providing us over 30 minutes with tension and drama!

V/A: COSMIC FUTURE GROOVE VOl. 2 -
Spaced Out Disco & Funkified Electronic Themes [1973-1983]
On this current volume you get 17 more spacey grooves (the CD contains 18 tracks) originating from diverse library labels from Germany, France, the UK and the USA. ‘Unreleased’ means that none of these tracks have been commercially available to the public but only on library LPs, pressed in limited quantities for the sample purposes of production houses for use in backgrounds of radio, television, film and advertising.
The foundation of all the tracks compiled on this album, are warm analogue synthesizer sounds illustrating the endlessness of space. Futuristic at the time they were recorded, still sounding up-to-date, these groovy tunes make a perfect crossover between funk, disco and electronic music! With the 80ies retro wave, some cosmic future grooves, may find a new platform in contemporary hip electronic clubs… These banging drums and killer grooves will make you dance, dance, dance!
In the mastering process of this album, I laid the focus on giving the tracks enough air and dynamic range. I didn’t want this album to sound like the usual productions nowadays where everything is compressed and limited to death… I spent hours on bringing the sound to perfection! 14 out of 18 tracks have been ripped from my own vinyl copies as they didn’t exist in the digital world before. I hope you appreciate all the blood, sweat and tears I put into the production of this album!
The LP comes in a limited edition in beautiful BLUE VINYL!!! The LP contains also an inlay, where all the original library cover artworks are shown and indicate where the compiled songs have been taken from and provide each tune with its original title description. Enjoy!

Coloursound CS 14 - Reflective Moods
(Milan Pilar, Florian Voelxen, 1981)
Electronic Killer tunes from beginning to end! In my opinion one of the best Coloursound Library releases! The album features two great cosmic disco tunes and a more laid back space banger with a similar theme. The rest of the album is dark synth electronic but at the same time very melodic sounding - sometimes reminding me of early Vangelis songs. Crazy synths and endless sample stuff!
NOTE that the cover scan and soundclip don't originate from the actual LP for sale. This one here for sale is near mint!

Media Music The Professional MMSE-5 - Number 9 - Bio Rhythm / Rocket Rhythm
(Thomas Clausen, 1977)
Bio Rhythm No. 3 has already been dug by JURASSIC 5 and their killer track 'World Of Enterainment'... Listen to those unbelievable fat drums and synths! These tracks almost sound like hiphop beats!!! Danish pianist Thomas Clausen is the man, who brought us this master library album in his very early musical years. Mostly cosmic funk and cosmic disco fusion with the emhasis on funky synths! This is a killer!

Parry Music Library PML 002 - Disco Pop
(Bunny J. Browne, Paul Zaza, Paul Kass, 1977)

sleeve: NM / vinyl: EX
SOLD!
Parry Music Library PML 015 - Action & Drama
(Paul Kass, Johnny Hawksworth, Bob Ascroft, 1978)
With PML 004 'Moods For Drama' probably the most sought after album from the Canadian Parry Music Library series...

Parry Music Library PML 036 - Rhythmic Patterns
(Johnny Hawksworth, Paul Kass, Roger Roger, Robert Fisher, Frances Ruffino, 1980)

And who the hell is this Robert Fisher - soundling like the reincarnation of JACKY GIORDANO or is this perhaps a pseudonym of him that hasn't come to mind so far? Anyway, great tracks on here!
