* 2022 restock, killer price. Last copies * Rome was, of course, the pulsating heart of Italian library music – it is the place where tv and movies are made, so editors and musicians tend to gather there. But we must not forget what was happening, at the same time, in Milan – where there was a very active music industry, but leaning more on the pop and jazz side.The Roman style was more connected to the classic and orchestral tradition, but the musicians in Milan adopted a more urban and interna…
Metamorphosis

Urubamba
"Urubamba by the Italian duo The Tropicals is the perfect foil to Nino Nardini’s and Roger Roger’s Jungle Obsession (1971). Both albums are released a few months apart, are made by Italians and Frenchmen, intermix field recordings and sound libraries with cavalcades of drums, flutes and Funk Exotica and simply entrap that European version of epidemical funkiness of the time which can be rightfully ridiculed, but equally enjoyed. The Tropicals are Giancarlo Barigozzi alias Ginazzi, a Jazz saxopho…
