Title: Your all time favorite song/track from the world of library music.

This will be tough for a lot of you, as there is an endless amount of titles and songs. If possible could everyone narrow it down to one song? For me it would be a no brainer as it's "Anyone Home" from the Rouge LP "The King And The Clown"

As you say, very difficult to choose. But, for me, it'd probably be one of those gorgeous, sophisticated Neil Richardson orchestral pieces from an early KPM 1000 Series album. Perhaps 'Jewel of Evening' from KPM 1060 Open Air ...

A tough ask but probably something from BRD 17 Counterpoint In Rhythm. If I had to narrow it down it would be 'Hey Presto' by Brian Bennett and Cliff Hall. Brings back memories of primary school summer '82.

If I had to pick just one library track to be my favorite, I would probably go with "Slipstream" (Syd Dale, KPM 1002, 1966). Version A was used in the highlight film for Super Bowl II, while version B was frequently used in the 60's Spiderman animated TV series.

Great answers! I hope more members will share their favorite, as I'm very interested to see what everyone comes up with.

Hey Joel, this is an intriguing as well as unanswerable question. On a whim, ignoring the rules, let me propose one per style, for a few styles:

-- Cosmic by Gianni Safred (cosmic!),
-- Fujiyama Gymnase by Oswald d'Andrea (waltz it!),
-- Modern People by the Fred Berlipp Band (schmaltz done right!),
-- La Maliarda by Fernando Mainardi (endearing!) and
-- Guirlandes Magiques by Guy Boyer (ominous!).

So, tonight, in this very moment, if you must have just one, it's Cosmic. Tomorrow will be different...

it's hard, but i have to give it to Right Moment by Peter Morris. it's just the most beautiful orchestral disco i've ever heard, never fails to brighten my mood.

For me it's the song "Asian Boom" by James Williamson from Ole Georg Music
