Late 70's - Early 80's Library Production Music

[mechanismj]

I am such a huge... HUGE fan of Datassette's Businessfunk series...

http://datassette.net/businessfunk/

that I decided to dig through the same production libraries. Notably KPM and Bruton. I've been finding some amazing songs!

Steve Gray - Wonder Groove (This was apparently in John Carpenter's The Fog)


James Asher - Umbrellas


I thought some of you would get a kick out of this.

This is pretty great. I hadn't heard of Datassette. My sampling senses are tingling...

[The Telepathic Kid]

fucking aye.

this is quality shit MechJ, thanks for this.

Especially as I'm looking to get into radio production. Slip in some of this sort of stuff between the Drake and Rihanna.

Second one from the top, the Erik Markman "Media Music, No. 12" has some cool synth snippets. I got a few chills listening to the first one (Moog patterns 1)- extremely reminiscent of a duo we know... And Paul William's Aquarius and the Quiet Times release have some interesting stuff. All kinds of things to explore, still going through a lot if it.

Oh yes! Dusty Shelf is a fantastic blog.

Here's one from one of the undisputed kings of the KPM catalog.

Keith Mansfield and Richard Elen - First Choice

[FortonServices]

I got this album a few months ago, some really good stuff on there if you're into that kind of thing:

I am into this kind of thing! Thank you for this.

Here's another KPM heavy hitter. He features prominently in the Businessfunk series.
Andy Clark - Motivation

Today's winner is...

Geoff Bastow - Tomorrow's Dream

This album is incredible! There's Schnaussy and Boardsy elements all over it!
