PlayItLoud! There are lots of modern versions of the original library music from the 60's and 70's. Some of it is pretty good, but most of the modern stuff is far off of the original. Mostly because it is recorded with modern, (read digital) gear while the original library music was recorded on tape and therefore sounds "warmer". Broken Lamps is (one of) the best sounding modern version of library music. Unfortunately, it seems like we'ill have to settle with these three albums only....:-( Favorite track: Odd Corners.

about

Introducing Eric Bowr’s third installment to the Broken Lamps music catalog. Like its predecessor 'Kaleidoscope', 'Metropolis' continues its journey through 70s production music by experimenting with sounds reminiscent to British music libraries like KPM, Chappell and De Wolfe. While maintaining a feel for retro urban counterculture, the album weaves its way through various film genres like Crime Drama, Eurospy, Exploitation and more! By combining bass driven rhythms and funk horns with organ fueled 60s surf tones, 'Metropolis' transports you to the “odd corners” of a vintage film set with an atmosphere soaked in nostalgia. Consider this record to be the soundtrack to your next need-to-know-only mission or late night rendezvous. Brought to you on 180 gram vinyl by Electric Nerve Music in association with Two Headed Dog.
