@million I do have that comp. it’s what sent me down the Janko Nilovic rabbit hole, in fact, which in turn sent me down the MP2000 rabbit hole.

[milliondollars]

nice stuff @Dollarhyde, do not have that Patchwork but it is on my want list!

that Gianni Fallabrino looks quite interesting @havershaw, i have the Progetto Europa and it is really good!

no rip of it @Texasvinyl :(

Is green as good as orange? I saw some folks pay eye popping prices for that green one.

you sound like you grabbed the orange one from discogs shortly and need to satisfy your collectors hunger by completing the set :)
the green one is equivalent to the orange but only because some muppets pay every price for a record, it does not mean that it's worth it.

did the liner notes put you on Nilovic? (i do not have these comp.)
do the liner notes say anything about the Micalizzi tune or it's origin?

[havershaw]

Here’s what the liner notes say about the Micalizzi song.
For most other songs, there’s also a copyright date (as you can see) but this one doesn’t have one.

Oh and I got put on Janko just because Xenos Cosmos is on there, which I had never heard, and I loved it so much that I was like “I need to check out this guy’s other records” and thus, a great deal of money was spent.

[texasvinyl]

Yes but my notes say "orange better of the two"! Although I don't know where this came from! I am content to only have the better one but was curious when I couldn't find any clips at all of the green one. I can hear Mr Backbone in several of the tracks especially one called Patrizia.

Notice the missed note at 1:42 and they just keep it in there, I love how fast they made these

Also, the drums on this one, sheesh

[havershaw]

For some reason, I wasn’t expecting much out of this (it wasn’t expensive so I thought I’d give it a chance) but it is an absolute banger. Soooooo great. I’m on my second spin even though I have a whole other pile of records to get to.

This silver men I marc record (# 2002) is pretty good. Like most all I marc records it is somewhat inconsistent, but there are an above average number of winners here. Doesn't seem to turn up often and was one of the only I marc still missing from the shelf so I'm happy to have snagged this

[texasvinyl]

Lovely stuff. Nice wide open deep groove press. Easy on the ears, pretty sentimental vibes. Now I do want the green one haha.

[havershaw]

This is terrific. I guess I shouldn’t really be surprised. MP2000 rarely messes around.

Probably my favourote of all the Nelson related I Marc 4 records.
Suoni Moderni I think is my favourite I Marc 4 track. Often miscredited as beat morbido
Love how all the instruments and percussion slowly drop in to the groove

I have this also havershaw, and agree a great little record with a variety of different things on it.
The 1st three tracks credited to michelberger are by a young Michel Berger. Here is a YouTube clip to all three, the third one is the one 'de Notre envoye special'.
https://youtu.be/ZXSd8P7OXyI
Michel Berger was a Pop chanson composer and France Gall's husband. If you check the clips to this instrumental LP of his from 71 I'm sure the same session dudes were involved for those patchwork 2 tracks. Toni Rubio, p a dahan and Claude Engel.

I’m at work right now so I can’t check those links but thanks for posting them - looking forward to checking them out.

@million, I love the Africadelic Side A for sure - it’s really amazing. Side B is a bunch of percussion-only tracks, which is cool, but I can’t see myself spinning that side a whole ton.
I have Africadelic No. 1 coming soon, hopefully - tracking shows it entered the country so I’ll probably have it in 4-5 days.

[havershaw]

This is *extremely* good.

anyone have any further Patchwork recommendations?

There are a lot of Patchwork on discogs that have no accompanying videos and I can’t seem to find out anything about them.

I currently have 2, 3, 4, 20, 21, 29, 35, 54 and 5, 8, 10, 19, and 52 are in the mail.

Any others that are must-haves?

[havershaw]

Ok now this one is absolutely blowing me away.

really don't want to ruin you financially but did you see this recent April Orchestra auction with every record starting at 4€ @havershaw?

i envy you for your #35 because i was never able to find this for cheap and i will never have it if i have to pay more than 30 €, which means i will probably never have it, haha!

also, i think you will love #8 The Lizzards - such a underrated quirky psych prog group session...

these are my top of the head recommendations:
#7 Big Bass - there are many Bass libraries but this one must be my favourite!
#42 Moods - unlimited creativity on this one. hidden jewel!
#69 Aquarius - fantastic aquatic library!
#71 Rhytmiques Et Percussions - another french answer to Klaus Weiss' Time Signals, this one is heavy!
#80 Drama - almost like the three Cosma records (3, 20, 29), this is the soundtrack to a unknown french movie, see also my list
#90 Africa - lovely ambient record!

will think of other recommendations...

[havershaw]

@million ooooof, I did *not* see those April Orchestras...but I have now!

Actually, a few days ago, a European seller who had a lot of them offered me free shipping if I bought a whole bunch, so I got 5 from that seller and I think I have 4 more coming from other sellers, so I am about to get slapped in the face with a whole bunch of April Orchestra.

But there are still a bunch of records on eBay that aren’t part of that...so I did reach out to the seller to see what kind of a deal we could make for me to take all of the records I don’t already have.

I got lucky and got a decent deal on 35. I think it was maybe $50?
I did edit that post but you may not have seen it while you were writing your *extremely helpful* post (and thanks for that!), but I actually did order the Lizzards. I’m thinking it should be here any day now.

Big Bass was on my radar. Aquarius, too, but there hasn’t been a single copy for sale in the past couple of months.
I almost bought a copy of Moods last week, but I couldn’t get the seller to come down to less than $100 and I already knew I was getting into a bunch of April Orchestra, so I passed for the time being, only because there seem to be a few out there.

Weirdly, 10 seems to have some cool stuff on it. I usually avoid the “children” library titles because they’re often too goofy for me. But I checked this one out and it seemed like it was pretty solid.

Thanks again for the recommendations! Very much appreciated.

[havershaw]

I forgot, I also ordered 34, which also hasn’t arrived yet.

[texasvinyl]

Thanks a million for the scruffy Barigozzi jamz. Monster record.

[NathanLurker]

Wow. I streamed to see what it's like. I thought "That's great, I should buy one". Then I checked prices....

So... I should never preview an album before checking if I can afford it :P
