Can't find any clips online to post. The title "young love" gives some indication. It's a mostly orchestrated record with a definite Italian sound, one or two up-tempo tracks, a bluesy jam and a really killer smoky flute jazz funk track "discorso sul sesso" (talking dirty/sex talk, I think) at the end. Nice overall record, but this last track is really great.

@million is this on your list of records with women's first names? The B side track names are Angelica, Beatrice, Catherine, Dorothy, Evelyn, and Francesca

[texasvinyl]

This Renosto Major too, all women's names

Nice Daniela Casa record, I like the two tracks at the end of Side A.

The whole album is on Spotify (weird?) https://open.spotify.com/album/4Aa6YFtdd4dotlCOm04eDc

Tons of library on Spotify at the moment. My barrier seems to be that while I can look for a specific thing, I am not able to really browse the genre in anything resembling a comprehensive fashion.

[texasvinyl]

This one is pretty mysterious and cool. Basically it's one long 30 minute composition with experimental orchestral and electronic stuff on top of ominous synth tones.

[Mateo Sanboval]

That sounds sexy.

Did a 2-hour playlist of Italian library and soundtrack stuff tonight.

It's 0400 here and this sounds just about perfect, Tex. Here I go...

[texasvinyl]

Cool, hope you enjoyed it.



Pretty good little synthesizer album. Better than I expected.

^^Thank you!

This record has some beautiful tracks on it, but the sleepy rural cover hides a secret: the tracks "Nevrosi da Traffico" is great, and "Furto Di Una Grossa Cilindrata" is an absolute psych monster. I think it's an underrated record, the whole thing is good.. some nice guitar work, Italian vibes, wordless female vocals.

Still looking for a reasonably priced copy or reissue of #7 and #12 from this series... Hook a brother up if you ever see one!

[milliondollars]

happy new year everyone! i was avoiding the digital world for a week or two, living like in 1996 or so, haha!

@Texas: what is going on with all those Nike records recently? it seems like some boxes have appeared somewhere. i have grabbed the full unplayed set (1-5) for peanuts recently. did not have time to listen to them though...

[texasvinyl]

I agree someone probably found an archive box. I got #5 most recently for a good price and then shortly after one auctioned on eBay for quite a lot. I still don't think many were pressed at all, probably not more than 100-200.

I do have a copy of Trasparenze to sell if someone needs that one. Tastiere Oggi, Trasparenze and Chitarre Folk are the best, and tensioni isn't bad either. The green one isn't very good.

[milliondollars]

yes, probably 200-300 i would assume. got them for $50 each which is ok i think. i can imagine that i like the green one just from reading the titles and describtions. will check them out later...

[milliondollars]

enjoyed this record over the weekend, which i consider an overlooked Alessandroni gem. it took me quite a while to find a mint copy but it was worth the wait. i would say this is his best record from the late 70s. reissue exists, can't judge on the quality though...

Where did you get them for 50 bucks each?? I would buy them all at that price.

The last copy of #5 auctioned recently for something crazy like $600, and #1 for I think like $250. Green one has one mysterious kind of track I like, the rest wasn't for me. Chitarre folk and Trasparenze you will like a lot, they are both really great. I think $200-250 is a normal price for these, less for the green one and more for Tastiere Oggi because it has "dj" type tracks on it.

[milliondollars]

@Tex: got it from one of my library unicorns...you have to kill me to get his email, haha!



***edit***
...but honestly. you don't make deals like this anymore. this was an absolute exception, even when i wish it was not...

killer mix @Texas! I'm halfway through, digging that Psychedelic electronic mellow groove!
Nicely put together.

[milliondollars]

did not see that mix @Texas!

some crazy stuff in there, well done!

just out of curiosity...all OG's?

[texasvinyl]

No, I don't have originals of Profondita, Today's Sound, Freedom Power, Zoo Folle, Colpo Rovente, Fantabulous, Feelings, Accade A, A Pugni Nudi or Overground.

Not listened to this end to end for far too long. Awesome record and a solid listen for a library lp. If those are ogs for £30 on discogs that's a steal IMO.
