*Eric Robinson's World of film music (1971)*

 A very charming compilation of film music from several classics such as 2001:Space Odissey; Spellbound;Jane Eyre; The Umbrellas of Cherbourg;Women in Love and a few others. Quite romantic and interesting in the way that it joined memorable songs from films with very contrasting genres. This was edited by Reader's Digest so it's not an expensive record at all. I actually bought it for 1EUR at a second-hand furniture shop near Lisbon. 

ERIC ROBINSON'S WORLD OF FILM MUSIC format: VYNIL 


The back cover has interesting/pertinent information about the films featured in this compilation, such as Women in Love directed by Ken Russell. 

"Love theme from Women in Love (Delerue)

Ken Russell is a highly controversial director, and films like The Devils, The Music Lovers and his TV Documentary about Richard Strauss have all been both praised and scorned. Women in Love proved to be no exception, though it was on the whole well received, and , for her performance in it, Glenda Jackson won an oscar.

Because of his interest in music, Russell has always given it particular attenton in his films. This theme, by George Delerue, comes right at the start of Women in Love and suggests not only the romantic conflicts that are to follow, but also the period- the early 1920's- in which the tale is set."

*Aesop Rock - Labor days*

  Beautiful and abstract poetry from MC Aesop Rock in an assorted collection of complex and melodic beats. Stories are told and magnified by the spotless MC'S style of delivery, especially in themes like "No Regrets", a story about Lucy, an artist that embodies the spirit of individuality of doing what you really want and love and the anthem 9-5 er's about work and aspirations. It shapes and expands the border of hip-hop, an essential work of astract and conscious hip-hop.

*Tiago Guillul - V*

  Indie pop by Tiago Guillul. Recorded in a studio and with guests like Rui Reininho, Tiago Guillul moves from his lo-fi days to a well produced and clean cut album. "A Febre em 1993" is a really adorable and catchy song that is one of the highlights of this album, using dancing and funky samples with some playful arrangements. "Nabucodonosor" named after one of the kings in the bible, is a really jangley song with collaborations from Rui Reininho in the vocals. Released by Florcaveira, this album has some religious inspired lyrics and most songs were built upon evangelical songs from all over the world, but that isn't exactly a surprise since it's Tiago Guillul. Overall, a candy bomb of an album of enjoyable and clever indie pop.

*Roberta Kelly - Trouble maker*

 Very groovy and danceable hit Trouble-Maker by singer Roberta Kelly. The track was written and produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Belotte. It reached and gained enormous popularity when it was released in 1976. The second song is The Family, a more mellow disco sound with some catchy and funky bass lines and harmonious backup instrumentals. Roberta Kelly also did backup vocals for Thelma Houston and Donna Summer.
