Grosse orchester spielen welthits (1975). This basf compilation is a mixed bag of mid-seventies instrumental pop, and it's a lot of fun. apparently the previous owner was "pop shop - rent-a-record" the mere thought of which gives me chills. the vinyl is a little battered, but as with many 70s lps the sound has remained in tact, and after a digital bath it's pretty darn good. 01 - berry lipman - the most beautiful girl. 02 - big band baden-baden - in the mood. 04 - werner twardy - seasons in the sun.

And how cool is this cover? 02 - she's a lady. 03 - adagio pour un venitien anonyme. 04 - je t'appartiens. 05 - my sweet lord. 06 - mourir d'aimer. 07 - fleur sauvage (wild world). 09 - sad lisa. 10 - un banc, un arbre, une rue. 11 - je pense a toi. 12 - comme moi (close to you).

I'm a complete sucker for the smooth sound of stereo2stereo releases, and unfortunately I don't have enough! Those who enjoyed the simon parks orchestra "eye level" should definitely try this release. there's some crackle in this recording, and an unfortunate scratch at the end of track five, but i find i'm much more relaxed with these than the underwater muffle produced by my nero wave editor declickers. 01 - the way we were. 02 - summer green, autumn gold. 03 - beyond tomorrow. 05 - remember love.

Along mexican highways (1959). This is the earliest delgado album i have, and i suspect it may be roberto's first. it's utterly charming, really fresh, and the instrumentation is top notch. the arrangement is also truly innovative, and it really feels like mr. delgado is discovering his love of latin music. 02 - noches de mazatlan. 03 - suby universitario. 04 - cielito lindo. 06 - el rascapetate. 07 - la bamba. 08 - ruega por nosotros. 09 - green eyes. 10 - la malaguena. 11 - ahora y siempre.

http://subway-detour.blogspot.com/2014/10/orchester-fritz-maldener-speedy-buggy.html
If you can get past the seriously uncool looking chicks in the "buggy," and fritz himself wearing a fur cap (like dr. zhivago) in mid summer, you'll find that this record absolutely rocks! It reminds me of james last but funkier, with plenty fender rhodes and gorgeous girl / boy chorus action. Favourite tracks include the breezy summer of "open window," and lowdown cool brass of "speedy buggy.". 01 - rockin' voices. 02 - red flame. 03 - open window. 04 - speedy buggy. 05 - scotch pub. 07 - wild luck.

Others by brothers (1975). This is my new favourite montenegro - man is this funky. "others by brothers" could be un-pc if hugo wasn't such a kind-hearted and clearly well-intentioned white man who at this point is thoroughly black on the inside - but is that cover model really eating an orange? 02 - never can say goodbye. 03 - noah's arp. 04 - feel like makin' love. 05 - everything i have is yours. 08 - close your eyes. 10 - come back to sorrento. 12 - all or nothing at all. Great album and thanks.

This late seventies compilation from franck pourcel has been giving me much pleasure since it hit the platter. most of the tracks were originally released between 1977 - 79, apart from the bond cover. i'm usually quite dubious of tracks this late into the seventies, but the synth and string combo here is dramatic and large, and i've been loving it. 01 - tico tico. 02 - la petite valse. 04 - rencontre du troisieme type. 05 - chanson d'amour. 06 - i will survive. 07 - amour et musique. 09 - spanish eyes.

My heart did a little jumpety-skip when i found this record last week. i'm a huge michel legrand fan, and this record does not disappoint. the stereo is a little crass, but the arrangement and orchestration are top notch. i also haven't ever seen this one before and i think it's rare even though i recognise the version of tabu! 01 - la mer. 04 - les lavandieres du portugal. 05 - night and day. 08 - maladie d'amour. 10 - close your eyes. 11 - il peut neiger 'katia'. 12 - the harry lime theme.

Roland shaw and his orchestra. More james bond in action (1967). Back in 1996 when re-releases were fewer and further inbetween, "the look of love" and "let the love come through" made it onto the karminski comp inflight entertainment. soon afterwards, a roland shaw bond selection was re-released as "the world of james bond adventure! Together with swanky artwork and phase-4 deram logos. i was so happy to find that at my cape town cd store! Visit the crime lounge. 01 - you only live twice. 03 - gypsy camp.
