GLISTENS a Library Compilation by ED MACFARLANE
Having previously explored the world of 60s and 70s library music with their Nuggets, Connectors and Digs compilations, Lo Recordings now brings to your ears the wonders of 80s library music.
Long derided by those in search of fat beats and funky grooves, the 80s reveal themselves to be a time of unparalleled musical exploration and invention.
As with all library music, an enormous amount of sifting was needed and the man for the job was no less than Ed Macfarlane of renowned pop band Friendly Fires.
The music contained on Glistens spans a wide range of styles and tempos but all with an unmistakeably 80s sheen that sounds somehow incredibly current and relevant in terms of todays producers. Whether its the new age soundscapes of Oneohtrix Point Never, the shimmering psych pop of MGMT or the current Vapourwave sound as heard in the dreamy cityscapes of 2814s Rain Temple. Theres even a renewed interest in vintage computer game music as heard on DATA Discs reissues such as Out Run by Hiroshi Hiro Kawaguchi.
