Hello! I'm pretty new to discovering library music, and am feeling OVERWHELMED by all the wonderful generous shares on here, but am totally lost. So, as a general appeal to introduce a novice like me into this wonderful world... What are your all-time favourite library albums?
I got most of the Chichester and Winchester Hospital radio CDs (I think?!), plus some key KPMs, like KPM 1000 Vol1 and 2, but I appreciate I've barely scraped the surface! Shared albums most welcome!
Some particular requests that have been recommended to me:
KPM 1000 Series
KPM 1166: Francis Coppieters Piano Viberations
KPM 1160: Friends & Lovers
KPM 1091: Vibraphone Jazz Quartet
Themes International Music
TIM 1022: Alan Parker The Sound of Soul
TIM 1021: Alan Parker / Madeline Bell The Voice of Soul
- thanks, Fuzi
Flyback FBCD 2000: Test Card Classics (1)
Chichester Hospital Radio CHRLM2: The Sky's The Limit And 33 Other TV Themes (I actually only need trk 8, don't know how i managed to lose that!) Thanks, nidostar!
Many thanks in advance, you lovely lot!
P.S. Pixeldrain links preferred!

Hi bikini
It's a good practice to add the catalog reference and label to the album title you request, as some folks here prefer to archive by publishers.
And I'd be glad to help over the week-end if none steps up before me:)
Peace

Hello lebikini, and welcome aboard.
I'm gonna move this thread to the requests section cause it's mainly about that, requests.
ps - My all time favorite albums? I usually don't like to make rankings cause there are so many I love.
But I would never part with this two for example (just the ones that come to my mind at this very moment):
[Music Scene] - MSE 126 - Gianni Safred And His Electronic Instruments - Electronic Designs (1977)
[Edi-Pan] - SML 102 - Puccio Roelens - Research Of Sound (1976)
-
Hello Greta, is it possible to send us Gianni Safred And His Electronic Instruments - Electronic Designs
thanks in advance :)

Please, do not hotlink to external host sites.
Just edited your post MusicMuzak.
Especially now, and especially with Pixeldrain, which is involved in "Child Pornography" problems with the Italian authorities (and who knows if in other countries too..)
-
Sorry Greta. Other people are posting links to external sites for Albums. Can you advise how to do it correctly?
Also the user specifically requested pixeldrain preference above in this thread where my post was put with others who linked also.
I normally use media fire as I did earlier in other posts but a user here in this thread specifically requested in discussion of our fave albums to share they wanted it in pixeldrain.
Just a little concerned with the pornography statement - how is this correlation even thought of by yourself for me simply uploading a vinyl record like other users have done using pixeldrain throughout this forum? Even a user in this very thread used pixeldrain for music sharing.
Your comment is weird at the very least.
-
MusicMuzak,
I've been saying the same thing for years now, namely that it's better not to post hotlinks to external sharing site such as Mega, Pixeldrain and all the others.
And it's for safety reasons.
The way to do it has been said many times too.. and here it is once again:
instead of posting the "clickable" link as you did, you just remove the "https://" part.
Example:
mega.nz/folder/DdpkjKzR#u_va32zEltohcECQt3j8Bw
Alternatively you can also modify the original link by replacing the "https" part with something like "hXXps" or else.
Example:
hXXps://mega.nz/folder/DdpkjKzR#u_va32zEltohcECQt3j8Bw
It's really time-consuming to constantly check all the posts and correct all the hotlinks, that's why I always ask for collaboration from forum members.

If I may chip in. Its not your upload that is the problem MusicMuzak. It is Pixeldrain. From what I understand, Greta is saying that server may have been implicated in a separate issue (nothing to do with LMT) related to child porn hence it has been blacklisted and become inaccessible for users in Italy.
-
Exactly.
I missed the last part of your post MusicMuzak, but it's exactly as nidostar says.
Nothing to do with you or LMT, it's just pixeldrain implicated in fraudulent issues.
-
You still didn't answer re your concerning comment about pornography though?

Perhaps mentioning it to ALL users in ya thread would be of great benefit. And to at least be addressed to the OP who wanted preferred pixel uploads of tunes. It appears I was singled out and I'm quitei understandadbly bothered over the needless comments Greta made and directed at only me.
-
I'm not sure I understand. What do you mean by mention to ALL users? In posting here it is read by everyone. I think there has been a misunderstanding. Many of us use Pixeldrain including myself to store files for sharing. It is only today that Greta mentioned that she was having difficulty downloading files from that server because she understood that it had been blacklisted in Italy. There was no accusation levelled at you, me or anyone else on the forum. Forgive me if I am being a bit thick but I don't understand your reaction.
-
Let's see if MusicMuzak can get what I meant:
Today, trying to download the last De Wolfe shares provided by Retronic here https://librarymusicthemes.com/index.php?topic=535.msg57337#new (https://librarymusicthemes.com/index.php?topic=535.msg57337#new), I found out that Pixeldrain was blacklisted by the postal police here in Italy, and I actually commented it in that thread.
After few minutes, by going around the forum, I saw your posts MusicMuzak, where you were sharing something using Pixeldrain too (the same hoster used by Retro which I discovered to be blacklisted here in Italy) and I wrote that comment in your threads too, and specifying not to hotlink to external sharing sites.
Nothing against you, but just something to inform every member that Pixeldrain was having problems.
I do understand that by reading only my comments on your threads without knowing that I already talked about the issue in Retro's thread, it may have misunderstood you.
But that's what it was, a misunderstanding.
Is that clear now?
ps - it is always understood that hotlinks to external sharing sites are ALWAYS discouraged for EVERYBODY.
-
I definitely understand about the links. I'm able to comprehend.
But as many users use pixel drain I was the one you seemed to single out by writing your post.
Why only my post andd not others?
The OP clearly said they prefer pixel drain uploads and there was not one word of backlash from you about that.
I was, therefore, obviously singled out. At least be balanced in your efforts.
That's my issue. It was simple. I dont want it to become difficult.
Im moving onto the purpose of this site. Music.
Nothing more and nothing less.
-
Apparently you still don't get me.
The pixeldrain thing is something that occurred yesterday.
Before yesterday things with pixeldrain were normal. As soon as I got the message from the Italian postal police, I proceeded to inform the board.
In Retro's post and in yours, which were the last ones.
Always and in any case only an information.
I didn't point out anyone else's posts before yesterday just because before yesterday everything was normal and everyone (including me) was using that site which never had something wrong.
I already told you that it wasn't nothing personal, but if you keep thinking it was just about you, then it's really just your issue.
PS, for the record
today it seems like things are back to normal with pixeldrain, I'm not having that message form the postal police and the site is normally reachable here in Italy too.

I had hoped this would be fun chat as an introuction to this site, but I seemed to have sparked something that is turning a bit unpleasant.
I originally asked for pixeldrain as that is the service I use and pay for, which makes downloading quicker. My understanding from the various fora is that convention (if nothing else) dictates we do not use hotlinks in these posts, and instead do as Greta suggests, either dropping the https entirely, or amending it to h**ps or the like, so readers can copy and paste and amend.
I see your uploaded file has gone now, MusicMusak - I hope you haven't been put off.
I would still very much welcome hearing your recommendations, and if that includes uploads, all the better!

I still continue to use Pixeldrain as do many of us so please don't think you had got off on the wrong foot. It's all fine. Do I take it from your initial post that you are still looking for Flyback's Test Card Classics? If so I'll try to upload it over the weekend.
-
Oh, yes please nidostar! That would be great! Thanks!
-
Here you go @lebikini. I bought this in a CD store in Crawley in the early 90's when there were such shops around. It wasn't until I found this CD that I realised Test Card music was available to the general public. Needless to say it is a treasured CD.

A great way to discover things and do that initial navigation can be through comps which is how in the 90's many of us were exposed to library music (or at least knowing what it was). Here's some key ones from that era:
Blow Up | pixeldrain.com/u/W8QvWBhD (KPM)
Jack Arel: Gravure Universelle | pixeldrain.com/u/VWYraKgi (Chappell)
Freak Out At The Facsimile Factory | pixeldrain.com/u/j5HvcqFR (early De Wolfe)
Kitsch Pop | pixeldrain.com/u/PYamRMa2 (Chappell)
Luke Vibert's Nuggets | pixeldrain.com/u/QtezAGf7
Sound Book - De Wolfe Music Library & Background Sound | pixeldrain.com/u/MLyDCsjN
Also If I may be so bold, I have 50 odd DJ sets of solely library music so if you have time to put something on in the background you can discover what you like this way as they are a mixed bag, so you will get an 80's electronic track, followed by a 60's big band, followed by a 70's moody drama piece.

This is amazing, thank you so much Retronic! I too learned more about library music from such 90s comps - I had Blow Up, but not the others so this is great - thank you again! And I will definitely check out your DJ sets - GOLD!

Here you go @lebikini. I bought this in a CD store in Crawley in the early 90's when there were such shops around. It wasn't until I found this CD that I realised Test Card music was available to the general public. Needless to say it is a treasured CD.
I remember seeing an advertisement in the Radio Times for this CD, back in, (I think it was), 1996, and couldn't wait to order it via mail order. I remember sending it off and then forgetting all about it until I received it through the post, some 2 weeks later. I always remember the evening I put the CD into my player and listened to it for the first time, whilst reading the booklet that came with it. A proper nostalgia-fest, for sure! Weird how music you've not heard for decades can conjure up long-lost memories and feelings, isn't it? I remember it came with a postcard of Test Card F, with the title, 'The Girl, The Doll, The Music', on it. A bit later on, I purposely went out of my way to buy a one hour long video tape and make my first, 'mock', trade test transmission using a video camera I had at the time hooked up to my VCR, pointing at the postcard so it filled the entire frame, with the audio of the CD piped in. I think it was about the only time I properly used the fade-in and fade-out function of the camera, at the start and end of the CD. I even made a label for the tape and covered the box for it with a printed label of the track-listing. I also covered all the white areas of it with green highlighter pen! It looked hideous, but at least I knew where to find it to play it. ;D
