Here & Now Vol.1 & Vol.2
**Double CD edition** “Music especially created for films, television, radio, publicity and industrial use”. The disclaimer coming with these two records – "Here And Now 1 & 2" – puts a smile on our lips and brings us back to more culturally innocent…
B85 - Ballabili “Anni ’70” Pop Country
**CD version** Although library music has always had the purpose of accompanying TV and radio shows, documen- taries and TV news, it is difficult to track down most of these masterpieces composed by some of the greatest composers of those years. Anon…
Mr. Diabolicus - Mr. Mysterious
**CD version** Given his fascination with obscure and esoteric topics, an interest that lasted throughout his whole career as a composer of library music, Fabio Fabor must have been diabolic and mysterious for real. The Milan-born composer, who passe…
Nell'Anno della Luna
**CD version** A deep mystery surrounds the movie “Nell’anno della Luna” (In the year of the Moon) and its soundtrack, which was released one year later. A beautiful work that lingers in between swing and melodies, in a fad that was popular a few dec…
Feelings
“Feelings” is considered an absolute cult inside the library music panorama. As the same Torossi recently said, the album “was played only by studio musicians... the best we could find at the time, and the results show”. The album sees the participat…
Fischiando in Beat
**CD version** Due to a perhaps too buoyant and unfitting title and to a ridicolously limited distribution (even at the time of its original release), Fischiando in beat (Whistling in beat) has often been ignored despite being one of the most enterta…
Psichedelica
**CD version** Before talking about Psichedelica, one of the many and rare library albums signed by Piero Umiliani, we must step back in time, until June 1968, when Umiliani was working on the score of Svezia Inferno e Paradiso (Sweden Heaven and Hel…
Questo Sporco Mondo Meraviglioso
**CD version** “Questo sporco mondo meraviglioso” is one of the numerous collaborations between the director Luigi Scattini and Piero Umiliani, and one of the most interesting and varied soundtracks within the composer’s repertoire. Produced in colla…
Percussioni ed Effetti Speciali
**CD version** The long and prolific career of Piero Umiliani, also consisting of dozens of collaborations for television and cinema, has given (and is still delivering, given the amount of material that is finally coming back to light) a long series…
Beat Drammatico Underground Pop Elettronico 1973
**CD version** "A fantastic obscure record, whose tracks simply anticipate Techno and generally Electronic music of the early 70s, including Kraftwerk’s milestone Autobahn, Heldon and Lard Free. A mind-melting opera. While Kraftwerk released Ralph & …
B82 Ballabili Anni 70 Underground
**CD version** Due to an overwhelming number of reissues and to the steady and meticulous work of collectors and passionate music lovers who have been spreading the word about it, the realm of Italian library music has moved from being some kind of h…
I miei stati d’animo
**CD version** Lelio Luttazzi was a multifaceted artist who shined and left his mark as a pianist, musician, conductor and com- poser. A jazz lover, Luttazzi reached fame and success thanks to his brilliant and undoubtable talent. During a career spa…
Sway

Musica per Commenti Sonori
**CD version** Amleto Armando Roelens, also known under the moniker of Puccio, had a musical career almost entirely devoted to jazz; he was one of the first in Italy to play jazz music with his orchestra at the end of World War II, a genre that at th…
Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza

Codice d’amore orientale
**CD version** “Codice d’amore orientale” had been often labelled as one of the lowest points reached by the b-movies from the ’70s. Essentially, it is just a genuine attempt to exploit the success of the erotic genre, very popular at the time: the m…
Musica per Commenti Sonori
CD version. “Musica per commenti sonori” is a cult series within the diverse world of Italian library music. In the late sixties and seventies, the small record label Costanza Records has published several releases precisely focusing on ‘background m…
Suspense
**CD version** Among all the aliases used by the great Piero Umiliani, M. Zalla is perhaps his richest and surprising: mainly used to produce experimental records that had little commercial appeal, this ‘nom de plume’ (along with Moggi) is tied to me…
Kuni Kawachi & Flower Travelling Band
The japanese keyboard player, vocalist, songwriter and arranger joined forces with members of the Flower Travelling Band on this amazing 1970 release. Published for the sole Japanese market on major company London Records, the album is still consider…
