"composed
by Armando Sciascia in 1972, this unique library concept LP of sublime
underwater sounds, ideas and trips is at last available to mere mortals.
Sciascia is one of the Italian musical legends, whose other work
includes classic spaghetti westerns, bizarre electronics and
experimental modern orchestrals for synchronisation. the original Sea Fantasy LP is notoriously hard to find, and for many is a high point in
deep underwater sounds, experiments and moods. 500 vinyl copies only.
limited distribution. buy now if you are a fan of Jacques Cousteau, De
Roubaix, Italian library music, scuba diving, snorkels, wearing wetsuits
or you get the paddling pool out on a hot summer's day." trunk
un regalo y un recuerdo de otra época: shipwreck! nada me haría más feliz que trunk se acordase también de Walt Rockman y 'underwater vol. 1'.

"peaced-out home-made new age from Seattle David Casper seems to be the sole artist on Hummingbird Records, with six releases from 81-86. performed with synthesizers, cheng, sitar, glass harmonica and a variety of flutes, the tracks drone and meander through melodies at once native to seattle, and to the east. patient and wandering songs, excellent slow music multi-tracked high atop a lush mountain by the sea." left coast tapes
"absolutely rare and never apperead before Library LP on collectible
Canopo label. pressed on heavy 200gr. vinyl. style is similar to
Luciani's album with the same title on Leo Records meeting Egisto
Macchi's Experimental perceptions. a mystic commistion of instrumental
experimentations, concrete and deep percussions sessions. whirling
sounds that create dark atmospheres, obsessive. this intense music must
be credited to one of the greatest talent of Italian Music, Romolo Grano
(here assisted by Paolo Renosto aka Lesiman), who was maestro in composing
dark and obscure cinematic sounds since the early '60s." sonor music editions
"Scarfolk is a town in North West England that did not progress beyond
1979. Instead, the entire decade of the 1970s loops ad infinitum. Here
in Scarfolk, pagan rituals blend seamlessly with science; hauntology is a
compulsory subject at school, and everyone must be in bed by 8pm
because they are perpetually running a slight fever. "Visit Scarfolk
today. Our number one priority is keeping rabies at bay." scarfolk council
"been listening to this gorgeous gold-framed Italian record of underwater
film music. the title translates as "Life and
Work in the Water." don't know much aboutFranco Potenza, but I love
records like this and how they conjure up a whole imaginary world just
with simple instruments and ancient electronic effects. this one is
eerie and strangely therapeutic, sort of in the vein of Eric Towren's
Zenith, which is another great subaquatic record. and I was just looking
at this greatPinterest page(Jonny Trunk's?) of rare underwater library records. check out the soundclip or dive in here."toys and techniques
"via the Toys and Techniques blog,Franco Potenza's "Vita e lavoro nell'acqua" is a beautiful example of library music meant to accompany underwater-themed visuals. in the media business, library music is music that's usually owned outright by a company and then licensed to customers who use it as soundtracks for tv shows, radio programs, and industrial films. there's still a wealth of amazing vintage library music warping away on vinyl in warehouses, basements, thrift stores, and record shops around the globe awaiting rediscovery by intrepid crate-diggers."boing boing
