*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."

*Khruangbin - LateNightTales*

  A brilliant and accessible double LP that showcases Khruangbin favourite tracks and influences providing an actual sonic globetrotting experience. The journey starts with "Illuminations" featuring Alice Coltrane and Santana, a spiritual intro for an incredible journey. The second track "I know that (when the spring times comes)" by Brilliantes del Vuelo is a mellow dubby reggae inspired track that gives a way to the more energetic "Khushi" by Nazia Hassan, a bittersweet quasi disco sounding track. "DRM" by Kelly Doyle is a rather short but breezy instrumental song that keeps the spirit of the sonic traveller alive. Side B starts up with "Don't go" by the south korean rock pioneers Sanullim, a very 80's new wave delight type of song. "I like it (don't stop)" by Maxwell Udoh is a rather amusing disco type song with romantic lyrics, very danceable stuff. "Enseñame" featuring David Marez is a lounge type so...

*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.

*Jonzun Crew - Lost in Space*

  Spectacular funky hip-hop from the 80's. The group was led by Michael Jonzun and his brothers Maurice Starr, Sonny and Carl. The group was highly influenced by Afrika Bambaatta, they wore wigs like Mozart and dominated the electroboogie sound like bands such as Parliament.  All the tracks are great and unique. Wonderful band that has yet to find its real listeners. The green solid reissue is gorgeous.  Interesting for fans of Daft Punk.
