wow, alan parker had no idea how ubiquitous library music was in porn films? that's so charming!
john cameron's jazz record "off centre" is really nice brit-jazz. "design centre" from the "advanced technology" bruton lp is lovely as well. a lot of the cream of british jazzers did library stuff. there's this one record with one side ondes martenot stuff by john leach and the other (better) side lovely little jazz miniatures by neil ardley, who did the arrangements for the mike taylor tribute concert in '73.
there's also a good bit of zeuhl library work, with jannick top in particular prolific in the field. the opening and closing tracks to april orchestra vol. 43 are good cuts, though the rest of the tracks are totally forgettable.

spent the last week listening to the classic KPM 1000 series records on Spotify and it is my duty to report... that they are classic
