Discorsi
Raskovich (Giuliano Sorgini) refines a single idea to a razor’s edge: lean jazz‑funk frameworks animated by flute, Rhodes, electronics and blaxploitation‑style orchestration, finally back in circulation after decades as a cult library secret.
Emanuelle E Gli Ultimi Cannibali
Back in stock with a brand new edition the score for Emanuelle e gli ultimi cannibali (Emanuelle and the last cannibals), a movie featuring our beautiful Laura in new dangerous adventures! The wonderful score by Maestro Fidenco is influenced by the changement of the musical influences: we see the Maestro more funky oriented. The score opens with a wonderful danceable "Make love on the wing" that could have be composed by Change or Chic. The Maestro doesn't delude us preparing a variation on the …
Jazz In Libertà
On Jazz In Libertà, Antonio Riccardo Luciani turns a nameless studio quartet into a lean, cinematic engine: two duelling keyboards, supple bass and drums, and a single Benson‑tinged guitar cameo conjure an entire universe of 70s Italian jazz‑funk and cop‑film tension.
Flowers
On Flowers, Zuni (Benito Simoncini) moves from lean, guitar‑driven funk‑rock into more exploratory terrain, trading bluesy riffs for bass‑and‑synth experiments and spacey percussion pieces that gently unravel the classic Italian library mood.
American Bus
On American Bus, Jason Black and Arawak ride a 1977 dream of the U.S. West Coast: lean, blues‑edged funk‑rock cues, honking sax and one off‑route reggae detour, all conceived as Italian library visions of San Francisco from behind a bus window.
Telemusica N. 6
A 1973 library brief of “jazz + experimentation” into a compact film in sound, gliding from lush lounge and tense jazz‑funk to freaked‑out electronics and stark Nuova Consonanza‑style miniatures.
Until We Are Free
Until We Are Free is the debut album from Fabric, a collective of musicians from diverse backgrounds united by a shared goal: to fuse irresistible rhythms and grooves with a direct, socially conscious message that draws vital attention to the contradictions of modern life. The project’s name itself evokes the idea of a living, dynamic ensemble - a creative intertwining of different threads, from musical genres to founding musicians and guest collaborators, all actively woven into the social fabr…
Jungle Obsession
Released in 1971, under the blanket of library music anonymity, Jungle Obsession is one of those rare and precious records whose extraordinary personality is instantly recognised by the ear of the listener. Timelessluminous!! Though it may look like a sexy piece of exotica from the heyday of tiki culture -- the '50s and early '60s -- Jungle Obsession was originally released in 1971 by the French Neuilly label. Nino Nardini was a master of library music for movies, TV series, and other media back…
Danger: Diabolik
On Danger: Diabolik, Ennio Morricone weaponises pop, jazz and electronics into a hyper‑stylised heist engine: fuzz guitars, wordless vocals and mod orchestration turning Mario Bava’s comic‑book caper into a delirious, late‑60s sonic hallucination.
Diana in the Autumn Wind
On Diana in the Autumn Wind, Gap Mangione turns late‑60s trio jazz into a Technicolor funk miniature: short, intricate charts, molten Rhodes, and a young Tony Levin/Steve Gadd rhythm engine that future hip‑hop would mine like sacred scripture.
Far East New Rock Invention 1969-1975
"What strikes me again, even now, is that rock from the late '60s through the early '70s remains the most compelling — whether Western or Japanese. In the mid-1960s, British groups like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones swept across the globe, while in the United States Bob Dylan famously swapped his folk guitar for an electric one, igniting the folk-rock movement. From the surge of new energy among young people in Britain and America — entwined with hippie culture, drugs, and the radical momen…
Spacing Out
On Spacing Out, Shigeharu Mukai fuses spiritual jazz drive with vivid 70s fusion colours: bossa sway, tropical grooves, rock backbeats and fat funk lines orbiting his trombone in a confident, wide‑angle crossover set.
Heiß, Heiß / Funky, Funky
Here comes one of the most hidden 70s Cosmic Soul Funk vinyl 45 from East Germany. With the desire to bring the black Soul & Funk rhythm to the stages and dance floors of the GDR, a short-lived top band was formed after the dissolution of the Horst Krüger Band in 1976. Gotte Gottschalk and Petko Datschew formed the group Neue Generation. This group had everything it needed to take off quickly: first-class and experienced instrumentalists, composers, plenty of fresh creativity, and good connectio…
Mostra/Punch
The innovative musical partnership of Tomo Katsurada and Misha Panfilov is set to captivate audiences with their latest 7-inch vinyl release, featuring the enchanting tracks “Mostra” and “Punch.” This double feature showcases their unique sound—a blend of intricate melodies and vibrant rhythms, pushing the boundaries of contemporary music.
“Mostra” invites listeners into a world of sonic exploration, with its ethereal soundscapes and dynamic instrumentation. The track is a testament to Katsurada…
Psyché II
Psyché II is the sophomore album from the Neapolitan band formed by Marcello Giannini, Paolo Petrella, Andrea De Fazio, and Roberto Porzio. While their debut was rooted in the myths of the Mediterranean, Psyché II pushes beyond those borders. Here, the sea is a living, vibrant route connecting shores and cultures—from North Africa to Brazil, from the Middle East to Colombia.
The Mediterranean becomes a crossroads of different peoples, traditions, and sounds: cosmic jazz, desert blues, dub, Anat…
Tchic Tchic (French Bossa Nova 1963 1974)
Bossa Nova, which emerged from Brazil in the late 1950s, profoundly influenced French music, manifested by artists like Pierre Barouh and Georges Moustaki. This movement, known as Musica Popular Brasileira (MPB), reflected a blend of modernity and a lifestyle that was both cool and metaphysical. The sound attracted various musicians for its poetic essence, playful rhythms, and the American jazz-bossa and jazz-samba fusion. João Gilberto, a key figure in Bossa Nova, stated that its foundational s…
African Roll
A long-lost jewel of European Afro-fusion, African Roll captures the explosive meeting of African polyrhythms, funk grooves, and 1970s Italian nightclub culture. Recorded in Turin by the multinational ensemble M’Bamina, the album blends Congolese roots, Afro-Latin colours, and raw dancefloor energy into a spontaneous, hybrid sound far ahead of its time. Originally released in limited quantities and overlooked, it has since become a sought-after collector’s classic. This official reissue restores…
Exotic Meditation / Sloppy Souls
*300 copies limited edition* Further excursions into the land of library inspired music. Side 1 is themed with chill grooves topped with Ethiopia and Middle Eastern sounds while Side 2 presents lush organic instrumentals styled after soulful late night slow jams and instrumental beat ballads.
Cinema (The Essential Library Vol 1)
One year after Brighter, Initials MB returns with his 6th album Cinema, an instrumental record extending the momentum initiated with Bang bang! (released in 2023 on the le pop club label). Cinema immerses the listener in a retro, cinematic atmosphere, where a gentle nostalgia floats — like an idealized vision of 1960s film music. The artist’s signature sound is fully present: a delicate blend of light pop, baroque influences, and psychedelia. Carefully crafted arrangements bring together violins…

Hopes and Dreams is the title of our brand new compilation series, which will celebrate its debut on March 20, 2026. This new series draws on the music selection of Praise Poems, not only in terms of obscurity, but also in terms of genius. Similar, but anything but a poor copy, the focus is on rare grooves from the 1970s.
