Library music sounds like elevator music, but for libraries instead. Try put on BOC's Magic Window. Always a blast! It's on Warp, btw. |

library music is stock music. to be used in the background on TV shows, films, adverts etc. most of the tracks are written to convey a specific emotion on sensation. there was a lot of excellent experimental electronica written in the 60s and 70s on these labels (most of which were based in europe) and a lot of great session music too. most of it, however, was not generally released. most of the soundtrack to the original Dawn of the Dead is library music. theres a nice book about the graphic design of library music covers called which comes f\with an awesome free cd of examples. |

a silent vigil is being held... do you think theres any market for starting a library music label these days? not necessarily in the sense of licensing to media like in the old days but in doing that kind of stuff but releasing it to the public. |

goblin composed the soundtrack to dawn of the dead, no? excellent stuff anyway. don't think there is any reason for library music anymore, it'd be nice, but most directors just prefer to use some popular tripe to soundtrack the movie. to be honest, i'm happy with the stuff from the 60s/70s and could spend a lifetime listening to it :D. check out this label the compilations are ace. |

Goblin did some tracks that were the main score. There is a second soundtrack which is all the incidental music in the film. all the stuff heard in the shops in the mall and the incidental cues and whatnot which is all library music. Its fucking brilliant. |

'Sinestre' is beyond brilliant. |

en fait c'est de l'illustration musicale, de la bande sonore, des ziks à jingle des 60s-70s pour la télé, des pubs voire le ciné des trucs un peu kitchos mais parfois trés bons (rien à voir avec de la musique de bibliothèques) |

let's hope label plan on doing a few reissues, but for the most part, i think you have to do a bit of crate digging and ebay sniping to get the records you want the nugget series on lo recordings is a great source for library musics |

There are still literally hundreds of library music labels. I've got at least 20 CDs from the past 2/3 years from various labels at my parents' house. I will fav+ this and if I remember, bump this and post some once I've picked them up. Why on earth would they be dying out? There's more TV than ever and tv programs/films (dramas in particularly) are using it for a greater percentage of the running time than ever before: Try sampling some vocals from a modern TV drama- a good dramatic line will almost always have backing music behind it. If it's not something recognisable, chances are it's library music. I find most library music pretty dull. Some of the older stuff from the 70s, like that Vibert compilation are good, but most modern stuff, listened to on its own (IE without the tv program images/dialogue to distract you) is very weak. It's still a lot of electronic music (although wanky modern orchestral stuff quite clearly done with shit soundbanks/multisample VSTs is also popular). It tends to be a lot less experimental than the old film score stuff. Nowadays it's "play it safe" SAW2 synth solo ripoffs and poor generic techno (used in drug/club scenes in dramas with budgets to low to licence "proper" dance tracks), usually worse than most homemade stuff posted here. The classics are worth checking out though: There was also a 7" out recently (can't remember it/find it now, mind) that had remixes of a couple of classic library music tracks too. I think one was by goblin, the other by some band called something like Xenyx. If you're just after soundtracks, rather than specifically library music, this is rightly considered a classic: . I personally rate The Dust Brother's - Fight Club Soundtrack highly too. |

Do you mean actual 'labels,' or just companies that produce such music? I personally like the Aircraft Music library and Manchester music library, but Ceri's right, there's billions of them out there. Just do some diggin'. And no, it's not dying out exactly, it still lives on in the hearts of a few of us.. ;) |

Ahh, after browsing that site a little it looks more like you're talking about library music that's already been placed into a movie/tv show/whatever or soundtracks associated with established releases. I thought you were referring those $400 unlicensed CD box sets.. my bad! |
||||||||

Yes, that's what I thought he meant. Technically, once it has been used in a film and becomes associated with that film, surely it constitutes a "soundtrack" rather than library music? |

that link was just to give combo some kind of idea of what library music was. i was just asking if labels were still producing. i see your point about more TV then ever i thought a lot of stuff was just done by an in house staff but i guess that would really only apply to the BBC. assault on precinct thirteen is an awesome soundtrack as well. ceri if you do end up posting some or sharing anything on soulseek id be much obliged. im going to start transfering vinyls on to my computer soon so ill keep you updated as well if im sharing anything of interest. im enjoying 'Infini' on musique pour l'image at the moment. |

and yes once it has been used in a film it is a soundtrack, i wasnt really asking about soundtracks but im not a very coherent person. also the dust brothers fight club score is immense. great album! |
