Library music from 1990 onward is even less popular than that of the 80s, and while what I've hear isnt as interesting, charming, adventurous, exciting, etc. in general, there's a few exceptions. Some of the albums Music House did in the early 90s for example had quite a few songs I enjoyed. There's a small handful of tracks I like from the 2000s along with one or two albums David Vorhaus made in the early 90s I somewhat enjoyed.
So while I take the lower interest and popularity into account, I'm wondering if you at LTM have any favorites, just out of curiosity.
-
He, I have no favorites in the 90's. Mine are almost all from the 70's and early 80's.
But I must admit I probably don't know that much about 90's library releases..
-
Yeah, me neither. It's mostly stuff from the first few years of the 90s that I know about myself. Part of me does have some interest in trying some more from the period sometime.
-
I have a lot of great LPs from 88, some from 89, but only a few from 90. From these ones I really dig these two:
[Prilly Music] - PM LP 151I - Franco Zauli - Together

[Green Wall] - GW 80804- Punnys - Telephone Line

I have recently downloaded a lot of cd rips from different labels (LMT 6 megathreads), but haven't had time to really listen to them yet. Some of these I'm very curious about.
-
I agree, roope - 87-90 could have some very good tracks, even some good full LPs. I've heard a lot of great library tracks from 87 in particular, somehow.
Love your avatar, too - it was for that painting that I listened to those Coloursound Fantasyland albums.
-
Thanks! Fantasylands are fantastic!
There a lot of great albums in the latter half of 80's! Of course often with a couple of weaker tracks, but still pretty great overall.
-
wonder if there's any new jack swing on library.
-
Agreed, roope, glad to see someone who agrees with me on that :) You might be interested in the 80s comp I made, linked in my signature.
To move things along, though, here's some of those post-90s tracks I mentioned enjoying, from the EMI production music site:

When it comes to new jack swing, I recall some new jack-ish tracks on this Sonoton album 'Rap Street' (complete with cheesy 90s rap vocals): https://www.sonofind.com/track/SCD0209

Thanks for the tips f_o_f - will check out at some point!
I listened one mix of yours already some days ago, it was very enjoyable, thanks!
-
roope - nice to know you listened/enjoyed! The feedback means a lot to me.
Onward, this Frederic Milgram track from 1990, love the synth bells:

I recall liking some of the other tracks on the album, Dynamo. It's available here:

And also this fabulous synth pop tune by Frederick Rousseau from 1992

not sure if these are exactly what you've been looking for, but they might be worth checking out:

Wow - MXS007 is a library album with explicit lyrics warning! ::)
-
very cool roope, i'll check them out too thanks!
-

Haha, that's a first. Knowing library, though, that might just be an explicit warning that the CD contains lyrics! ;)
-
Ha! True! I definitely prefer my library without lyrics (El grillo LP on Picci may be my exception).
-
KPM 707 (2009) is a very funky release and a personal favourite of mine
-
To reply to the OP question; no, none! Really haven't delved much into this era.
This is fairly (okay, completely!) unfamiliar territory for me - does anyone know if there are any late 80's/early-to-mid 90's Italian or Italian-inspired electronic dance releases? Think Italo-Disco, Italo-House, Eurobeat and so on.
-
Ray Davies did a new Button Down Brass album for Audio Network in 2010 which (modern production aside) could almost pass for one of his old ones.
There's a track called 'Tomahawk' by Leigh McAllister Gracie on KPM 2008 'Downtown Funk '74' which is also excellent.
-
My main area of interest in music is the late 70s to the mid 80s so the newer stuff passes me by. The only time I'll give it a listen if it's specially recorded material done in the early 80s style such as 80s Chartbusters on KPM.
-
I like some of the Gregor Narholz orchestral music from Sonoton.
-
This caught me by surprise. (c. 1990)
