L'Immagine Del Suono
Big Tip! Joel Vandroogenbroeck was an arranger, conductor, producer and, above all, a unique multi-instrumentalist in the world of music. The Belgian artist was also famous for being the only permanent member of the group Brainticket and the main promoter of its creativity, often renewed with the contribution of exotic instruments. At the dawn of the Seventies, this versatile musician began a parallel life as a composer of singular music libraries tailored to comment documentary images. “L'Immag…
Valvole (LP)
Library music operated by contract: titles that described a setting, tracks short enough to cut and paste, music made fast and under budget. Ugo Busoni's Valvole, originally released in 1975 on the Nuova Idea label, followed those rules on paper - and then proceeded to ignore most of them in practice. Reissued for the first time on vinyl by Musica Per Immagini, in a limited edition of 500 copies with new artwork, it is one of the more genuinely peculiar records to emerge from that world.

Abstract Forms
**300 copies** By the time the 1980s rolled around, most of the old guard had either hung up their saxophones or sold their souls to the synthesizer in ways that made you want to weep into your Campari. Not Sandro Brugnolini. The man who'd spent the late '50s channeling Miles Davis through the smoke-filled clubs of Rome with the Modern Jazz Gang, who'd scored jungle goddesses and naked panthers for Ruggero Deodato, who'd descended into the psych-fuzz inferno of Underground and Overground when th…
Angoscia
Clear purple vinyl. In an age when mental landscapes have become as urgent as physical ones, Sounds From The Screen presents a rediscovered treasure from the golden era of Italian library music: Alessandro Alessandroni's haunting 1975 masterwork "Angoscia." Originally released by Octopus, a label devoted to thematic libraries, "Angoscia" stands as one of Alessandroni's most psychologically penetrating works. Here, the composer native of Lazio demonstrates his unparalleled ability to transform ab…
America Amore Amaro
America Amore Amaro unites Remigio Ducros and Luciano Simoncini in a vibrant 1977 odyssey where Italian library-funk meets cinematic daydream.

Amore Mio Aiutami

Paese Sotto Inchiesta
Edition of 400. In the twilight of the 1960s, as Italian cinema reached new creative heights, a parallel universe of musical experimentation was quietly flourishing in the studios of Rome and Milan. The production of soundtracks for both major and minor Italian films had given birth to another business venture - one that proved less profitable but infinitely more creative and liberated from client constraints: the composition of music libraries. Now, Musica Per Immagini presents the first reissu…

Riusciranno I Nostri Eroi A Ritrovare L'Amico Misteriosamente Scomparso In Africa?
Finally the first official vinyl reissue of the original Trovajoli soundtrack. Originally dated 1968 this is possibly one of the greatest Italian cult “road” movie of all times ! Composed by Maestro Armando Trovajoli and featuring Alessandro Alessandroni Cantori Moderni, this is a glorious mix of visionary epic sounds for a thrilling trip through exotic Africa. The plot of this film was in fact located in Angola, then a Portuguese colony. So, by poetic license, the music is heavily influenced b…
The Diamonds Four
Big Tip! The story of The Diamonds Four has the kind of archival complexity that serious collectors live for. Mario Molino - classical guitarist, jazz musician, and one of the more versatile and elusive figures in Italian library music - first released this session on the obscure B.M.P. imprint in the early 1970s, in a pressing so limited it barely registered. It later surfaced again on the Music Scene label under a different title, with different track names, credited to the pseudonym Luigi Fer…
Aquarium Sounds
A promo-only release in 1979, pressed in an edition so small it effectively never existed - Filippo Trecca's Aquarium Sounds spent four decades as a ghost record, known mostly by rumour. Sonor Music Editions' reissue is its first proper appearance on vinyl since the original pressing, and the first time it has ever been available digitally.
The album is, in reality, two things at once. Eight of its ten tracks served as the score for Così Per Gioco, a 1979 TV giallo series directed by Leonardo Co…
New York City
The discography of the phantom Gruppo Sound exceeds over thirty titles published in an undefined time frame between the Eighties and the Nineties. However, there is very little information about this curious pseudonym. it is possible to find a library music album by Gruppo Sound inside the Canopo, Deneb, Flower, Monosound Records and Teams catalogues, all managed by Flipper Music publishing group, but both the creators and the musicians have never been the same. Gruppo Sound is only a collective…

Rhythm And Sound
*Limited edition of 500 copies.*Her name was Anna Maria Assunta Andreassi. She composed and arranged the entirety of what would become one of the rarest documents in Italian library music, filed it under the alias Mandrassi, pressed it on the micro-label Ludo Record in 1973, and then watched it disappear almost entirely - so completely that for decades collectors weren't certain the record had ever existed. Sonor Music Editions' reissue of Rhythm And Sound, limited to 500 copies, is the first ti…
