Swanky Lounge for Your Lounge [Retro to Modern]

18 groovin' lounge tracks, many 70s and several 2010s. I'd say mostly rare sans the Yellow Sharks' "Joy Bells" for one. Favs include Ernesto Brancucci's "Dream Island," Broken Lamps' "Halls of Time," Ivan Basilio e i Sergowa's "Rio Indio" and Alex Puddu's "The Rope" with the borrowed/similar bass run/riff off Led Zep's How Many More Times. It works for me. Enjoy!

Creepy Freaky Library Music

Mostly 70s, a few 60s and 80s. The majority are a mix of (film) scores, ambience, etc., so don't expect any rockin', hoppin', havin'-a-good-ol'-time, dance tracks. You could either mix it up with other mixes, or play through for an eerie listen. Anyway, the usual names of the genre including Johnny Hawksworth, Syd Dale, Alan Hawkshaw, Brian Bennett, etc. Enjoy!

Jungle Safari: A Modern Exotica Express

Neo-Exotica, post-exotica, whatever you want to name it. 18 tracks that still retain the original feel/rhythm but with an obvious modern sound. Mostly instrumentals, and all good. Artists include The Red Fox Tails, Space Age Sunset, The Waitiki 7, The Tiki Torches, Kenny Sasaki & The Tiki Boys, Bahama Soul Club, Chalk Dinosaur and others. I don't have any particular favs. It's a nice flow to sit/kick back and relax. Enjoy!

20 tracks of rockin' and some groovin' library/lounge tracks, all 70s sans 69's "Relax in Blues" by Giuliano Sorgini, and 1980's "Place Here #3" by Neil Amsterdam. Big favs in Klaus Weiss' "Morning 2," Gert Wilden & Orchestra's "Dirty Boy" and Tony Tape's "Open Road." All good tracks by Franco Micalizzi, Alberto Baldan Bembo, Alan Moorhouse, José Roberto Bertrami, Remigio Ducros, and many others. Enjoy!

The Steamy Library 4: It Might Make You Horny

And it might. 18 salacious, erogenous, amatory, lascivious, concupiscent, prurient, unchaste (I see a trend of titled mixes in the works... possibly) tracks that may or may not be amorous. A couple by Andy Novello including "Waltz of Roses," one of my favs in the mix. Also John Cameron's "Liquid Sunshine," Hiro Yanagida's "When She Didn't Agree," Alessandro Alessandroni's "Aspetti musicali," Stefano Torossi's "Being Friendly" and Franco Micalizzi's "Sospetto (Il lato romantico)" just to name a few more. They're all good. Enjoy!

The Steamy Library 3: Music to Make You Horny

Music that makes you horny? If that's the case, then you'll need to see a psychiatrist, lol. 20 tracks, all library/lounge grooves sans, Georgia Gibbs' 1952's "Kiss of Fire" (pop & tango), and Curt Boettcher's late 60s sunshine-y "Christina, In My Dreams."

My favorite (a big favorite) is Armando Trovaioli's "Angola adeus." Also a few covers including The 18th Century Corporation's "This Guy's in Love with You" and Baker Street Philharmonic's great (yes, I love it) take on "Here, There and Everywhere." Syd Dale, Luciano Simoncini, Franco Micalizzi, Helmuth Brandenburg, etc. Lots of good stuff. Enjoy!

NOTE: I used a wrong text font for back cover (incorrect display of symbols, ampersands, diacritics, accents, etc) that's included in the file. The correct cover is in this post. If desired, just delete the back cover and right-click>save the back cover in post.

The Steamy Library 2: Sensuous

Many years back when blogs thrived, one particular blog (I no longer recall the name, and probably long gone by now) made a series of sexy lounge tracks. I must have really loved the idea because years later, I finally got around in doing my own series.

The first one was back in May of this year (you can find it here) and finally got around to a second. 16 tracks of sensual desire, or however direction it takes you. My favorite is Armando Trovaioli's instrumental version of "Searching for Something." Otto Sieben's "Soft Flute 1" is another fav. Unfortunately, it's a short track. Another big favorite is Syd Dale's "Dream Fantasy." Seriously, they're all good. Enjoy!

The Steamy Library 1: Risqué

Back to the smoky, sexy, groovin' library of lounge. Otto Sieben's "Soft Popsound" is probably my favorite in the mix. Rovi's (aka Piero Umiliani) "Atmosphere" is another goodie. And another in Alan Moorhouse's "Heavy Bopper." As usual, they're all good. 16 tracks from '68 to '87. Enjoy!

Halloween Haunts 3: Kooky Spooky!

I like this one better than the previous two. And the cover art too! Anyway, several rare tunes including A Pair of Kings' "The Monster," The Creeps' "The Whip," and The Poindexter Bros.' "The Booga Man." 20 tracks in all. Enjoy!

Too many favorites. They're all really good tunes. Biggest favs? Probably Rainbow Orchestra's "Seven Days Later," and Johnny Pearson's "Saturday Off." And can't forget Dave Richmond's "Phase Out" and Leon Paul-Phillips' "Turnham Green." Enjoy!

I love this comp. Check out the awesome cover version of Zep's "Whole Lotta Love" by Chico Arnez. The Mystic Moods Orchestra's "Honey Trippin'" is a BIG fav. And Hugo Strasser's cover of Purple's "Black Night" is not to be missed. They're all good! Enjoy!
