Coloursound Library (Lossless)

[BlackwatchPlaid]

Munich based experimental, progressive library label, established in 1979, created by Gunter Greffenius. Artwork paintings were often created by his wife Waltraud Greffenius.

It’s 1980, and nestled in the mountainous terrain of Munich, Germany, Gunter Greffenius’ upstart production music label Coloursound Library releases their debut album. Capitalising on the success of Ridley Scott’s Alien film, the label dropped Biomechanoid, featuring cover art commissioned by HR Giger – whose horrific Necronom IV lithograph served as the basis for the design of Alien ­– and the music of the relatively unknown Joel Vandroogenbroeck. Comprised of bleak, cinematic synth soundscapes and percussion, the album served as an inaugural calling card for what would be a decade of dizzying solo releases by Vandroogenbroeck for Coloursound, running the gamut from Mesopotamian ethno-folk to synth sequencer funk to electro drum breaks to in-utero ambient delights. But to stop there would be selling him short.


Here's a complete selection of LP releases from the Coloursound library. It's a mix of studio downloads and contributions from our fine community here at LMT!


There are 85 albums in total. All albums are FLAC except CS 32 and CS 63, which are 320mp3 and VBR320mp3 respectively. I did check to see if they were transcoded and they are not surprisingly.


I have reuploaded all the albums. Giving pixeldrain a shot, let's see if they will last.

     Huge! This is amazing. I've started listening in order from the beginning. "Sign From Space" is great from CS 1.

[zach]

cool, the CS 45 - Colours rip is one of mine. think i've listened to pretty much all of these and it seems to be the lone gem of the library, for my tastes at least. i've also got the PRiTV CS 42 - Love record, one of these days i'll make a high quality rip of it.

thanks for 'Contemporary Group', never heard that one before. in it for the Jan Cichy tracks alone.

i am interested to hear any of the PRiTV Band stuff from the CS 50s, anybody have 50, 53, 55, or 59?

[roope]

I have 50, 53 & 55 on vinyl, i can rip at some point if there's no existing rips yet or if upgrade is needed.

[zach]

i was poking around and found links to all of them, so it's all good. but many thanks for offering roope!

Really nice post I may have a few to add to this will have to take a closer look at what's missing when I have a bit of time.
