Just Recognized a Library Track

[stackjackson]

Sky/ Virgin movies just showed a trailer for Unsane which uses Brian Bennett’s Hideout - used in Rabid also. So weird when you recognize it- at first I thought Halloween and it took a few seconds for my brain to realize what it was.

Good catch, Retro. You made me track down the trailer to this movie. Looks fun... Soderbergh. Seems reminiscent of the 1948 film "Snake Pit" with Olivia de Havilland.

Watching an episode of The Gentle Touch recently, I heard a blatant Blondie rip-off called 'Heart Of Stone' which sounded maddeningly familiar - after some digging I remembered it was from the Bruton album 'Pop Vocals'.

Further digging led me to this version by one Edith Bliss, which was apparently released as a single in Australia - I think this is a different recording from the Bruton one, but a bit of a curio nonetheless!

Haha wow, nice find! I do wonder how this came about.
- According to Edith Bliss' only LP release, It seems to have been licensed through Brian Wade's Waif Productions Ltd.

This cue got around:

... according to this board game, it's by "Near Miss".

How fascinating!  Great seeing the video!!

[Lord Thames]

Ha, I've never seen that Radio Luxembourg board game thing before, that's great!

It looks like there are a few other Brian Wade tracks on Ms Bliss' album, so I wonder if there are any other Bruton tracks on there?

On a recommendation, I've recently started watching the FX show "Atlanta". One episode is structured around a spoof TV channel, and littered with goofy-sounding library cues. Among the lot, I recognized a cue also used in the Eric Andre Show, "Oregon Spirit" by Rolf Krüger off of Selected Sound 5160.

Just heard "Hawaiian Happiness" by Jon Jelmer at about 17:31 in this obscure childrens' record:

Immediately recognized it from its usage in SpongeBob.

By the way, anyone here know any of the other library pieces used here? Particularly interested in the Latin music at about 9:35.

Watching a repeat of Nigella: At My Table, episode one.  It uses a lot of Motown instrumentals throughout but I recognized again Keith Mansfield’s On Top of the World (KPM). 


I used it toward the end of this mix:

Hans-Willy Bergen's cheery "Happy Poster" is now advertising eggs on TV here.

Two KPM things on TV tonight.  I watched last Friday’s Gadget Show on 5 and again Craig Charles used a KPM LP to demonstrate a record player.
And the SKY Vegas trailer/ advert uses Funky Fanfare.

When i visited the Basketball Hall of Fame about six years ago, there was a random video highlight playing and it had Francis Monkman - Strident Theme playing! Made perfect sense for the clip, it was like Pistol Pete running a fast break haha. Heres the song for those not familiar:

Several years ago I bought a VHS tape that contained a review of the year 1962 (the year I was born). PICCADILLY NIGHT RIDE (by Alan Hawkshaw and Keith Mansfield) was used in that review.
