Musikos Production Music Library Collection
Collection of all known available music [25 albums] from Musikos, the now defunct North Carolina-based production music library founded in 1990, published in Charlotte, NC.
A majority of the music was made by Neil Davenport, with some tracks made by Steve Dimond, Jamie Hoover, and William 'Bill' Soden. The Musikos Music Library lasted until 1992 and was succeeded by the Davenport Music Library in 1993, with some of the Musikos Music Library tracks being carried over, but many not, including most of the William Soden Sports selections
Assembled and uploaded by myself (GodzFire) as to not be lost to time. Please share and spread.

______________
The Musikos Music Library consisted of the Core Reference Library (13 CDs), the Sports-Action Collection (4 CDs), the Corporate-Industrial Collection (5 CDs), the Gene Micheal Collection (3 CDs), and a sound FX collection (6 CDs).
- Core Reference Library (13 CDs)
Named after Pantone color numbers. None of the tracks have titles (except on Musikos 556), only vague descriptions, such as “Orchestral funk in a minor mode” and “Gospel-country piano riffs intertwined with pan flute and large orchestra sounds; many mood changes!”. Each album is named after Pantone color numbers. 13 CDs containing a variety of themes. One CD is edited for broadcast with stingers.
All of these were probably made by Neil Davenport since a lot of the music from this library was carried on to the Davenport Music Library, the successor to the Musikos Music Library that came out in 1993.
