I am going with:
Patrizio Fariselli's "Iqbal" Dissòi Logòi's "Delfini" Chano Dominguez Trio's "Afro Flamenco" An honorable mention to Dick Dale & the Del Tones' "Misirlou" which I would have more seriously considered if I hadn't already known it so very well. Thanks for the commentaries on the tracks. I thought the Stringtronics track might be a harder sell as it is so short, but I like the brevity (especially in the context of the album). I considered mentioning some others since there is so much music I love from Italy in particular, but I knew as soon as I saw this topic that "Mediterranee" was the one I wanted to feature for its Mediterranean feel. And Mindbender is a very much cherished by me album. Edited by Logan - May 29 2022 at 22:09 |

I voted for:
Enrico Simonetti - Oceano Stringtronics - Méditerranée Tarmac - Notre Époque The third one was a difficult choice, there were many great songs.

'Méditerranée' is a very enjoyable track, one of the few that induces this summery and relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. It is a pity that the piece was not a bit longer to unfold it's full effect. I listened to a few other tracks in order to get a sense of the whole album. The individual pieces are musically quite different. If I understood correctly, this is a collection of so called 'production/library music'. 'In spite of that' it seems that this album became a collectors item over the years. But it's probably because the music was written by Barry Forgie who has not only been the band leader of the BBC Big Band for many years but also worked as an arranger and composer, especially of film music. - I have not been able to comment on all contributions, thus I limited myself to those participatants who had made several suggestions to help them decide on their nominations. I'm glad you liked my flamenco jazz piece! I would have preferred a somewhat calmer track but I mainly wanted to introduce this combo of top-class musicians who are masters of this genre.

Thanks Mila for the feedback and checking out more of the album and the background. I have a thing for library music. I like the eclecticism of it, but then it offers compositions by four composers, Barry Forgie, Anthony Mawer, Nino Nardini and Roger Roger, and to me it still works really well as a whole partially because of the contrasts. "Dawn Mists", which went down well when I mentioned it an an earlier poll, and "Hunted" are two of my favourites. As a sort of related album, I love Nino Nardini & Roger Roger's Jungle Obsession. I very much enjoyed your selection, and for me it may have stood out more for not being calmer as it differentiated itself from some of the other music I really liked in this poll nicely as I recall. |

Thank you for the recommendations, Greg! For a film music fan an extension to library music makes perfect sense. As a student I often went to the cinema, at least once a week. During that period I started collecting film scores. Nowadays I go to the cinema only from time to time, so I'm not quite up-to-date anymore with respect to new film scores. Besides I don't watch Netflix either, actually I'm boycotting them. lol
