Killer compilation here. Only solid tracks. Get it NOW if you're into library.

Oh the curious world of library music, so tempting in the record shop to often so disappointing on the turntable. However there are gems to be found here; shining and unique oddities, the basterd sounds of pop fancy.
The Southern Library of Recorded Music, to give its full name, largely sits away from what has become known as the ‘library sound’. Instead of sample-friendly beats and mutated versions of chart hits, there is something here that's altogether different. A world of exotica-tinged jazz beat, calling up images of sandy days and smokey nights in tropical climates. Despite the geographical and cultural differences of the composers featured, there is undeniably ‘a Southern sound’ here all of it's own. Admittedly this is after a lot of filtering on my part, but such was my task and no stone was left unturned to find the diamonds among the rough. ‘Digs’ is my take on the Southern library, and I hope you enjoy it.
