Claude Larson - Arabian Affair

The first of two CDs I got today for Christmas. a great album from Claude Larson!

Merry Christmas!

SONOTON SON 164- Claude Larson- Industrial Future (1981)

This is a really great Claude Larson release, with a similar sound to his Synthesis album. Cover art by Lionel Koechlin, who also did the art for Synthesis. Co-composed by Manuel Landy in 1981. Enjoy Industrial Future, a great LP.

Claude Larson- Industrial Future

Sax-Bone Connection- Flashlight 1 (1984)

Here's a good one. This album is by Sax-Bone Connection, which is similar to Power Pack in that Klaus Netzle and Delle Haensch both worked on this album. Both of them had worked on the Power Pack albums. The difference is that another person named  Georges Delagay. I am not sure what label this was released on, and there is no info for this release on Discogs, but there is info for "Flashlight II"  which was released on a label called Egal-Musikverlag the following year, so I'm going to assume Flashlight I was released on the same label as the second.
Sax-Bone Connection- Flashlight I

It includes 12 tracks, and this is a rare release, recorded at Elmulab.

Various- Patchwork Party (Selected Sound ST 117 1986)

One of the most sought-after library LPs from Selected sound!
Sorry about the lack of updates, I haven't had any luck finding anything. Plus, I've been working on a different blog for ambient new age synth music which now has over 40 releases in its repertoire.

PLEASE READ:Livin' In Action (MASTERING IN PROCESS)

Yes, I am finally getting around to doing my best to fix up the audio from Mike Moore Company's Livin' In' Action.

I use Adobe Soundbooth for it. My Turntable needle, after only 4 MONTHS, is not really working well anymore. I can't be arsed to buy another one right now, so I might hold off on buying vinyl for a while. That's when YOU come in. If any of you have any library records that are not online or had been taken offline, send them to me and I can host them here. I WILL give you credit. If we all chip in, we can keep the Library dig alive and spread this great music.

Send me a personal message, an email or just comment on this and I will get back to you.

Thank you.

Claude Larson- Dramatic Impact
Claude Larson and Manuel Landy- Soundscapes Vol. 2
Claude Larson- Digital Patterns

Can you handle THIS much awesomeness in one post?

Klaus Netzle(Claude Larson)- Purple Sky

Here it is. Came in the mail only 2 DAYS after I ordered it!  This album is a nice, ambient one, with a few long tracks of pure awesome. The story behind the album is in the booklet. Apparently Klaus/Claude got his inspiration when he saw the reflection of the Golden Gate Bridge against the morning sky on a November morning some time in the 80s.  He worked on this album with library music great Delle Haensch.

Klaus Netzle and Delle Haensch- Purple Sky!

Please note that this release is not Selected Sound or SONOTON, it's Wergo/Spectrum.

More Claude Larson, coming soon.. (and other updates)

I recently purchased Claude Larson (Klaus Netzle)'s "Purple Sky" album he did with Delle Haensch. It is a CD release, so it'll be not as much of a hassle ripping it onto my computer. In addition, I still need to seperate each track from "Weekend Hobby" and Mike Moore Company's "Livin' In Action".

Pics of the upcoming uploads....

Klaus Netzle and Delle Haensch- Purple Sky

                                           Various- Weekend Hobby (Selected Sound)

                                               Mike Moore Company- Livin' In Action


PS- If anyone can get the other Power Pack LPs (Future Projects CD version, Audiovision, The New Vision, Convoy) Then please do so. 

Selected Sound – 11-5011- Claude Larson- Wings In The Sky (CD Release)

I got a really good one for you today....
Claude Larson & Manuel Landy- Wings In The Sky!


Not only is this Wings In The Sky, it also includes every track from Magnetic Island on it. It's Claude Larson and Manuel Landy at their best.

Note the cover art right here. It was created by artist Peter Maltz, who has done album artwork for numerous  musicians throughout the years. A few Selected Sound albums contain his work, such as Claude Larson's "Magnetic Island" and Power Pack's "Future Projects".

Coming up next-

Mike Moore Company- Livin' In Action
Mike Moore Company- Sounds Of Life
Various- Weekend Hobby

I am also looking for:

an elusive album by Power Pack entitled "Convoy". I found one mp3 from it on 4shared but there is no record of this LP on discogs, and the information I found on it was extremely limited. If anybody can help me with that, share your info.

http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=3439659  Power Pack- Future Projects (CD Release). Not only will this probably be mastered better than my rip, but it also has the tracks from their other LP Audiovision on it.
