As spice is the life of variety I’ve extended the originally planned theme from synthesizer derived Production Music to include tracks with sound manipulation of other sources.
A couple of errors – I’ve used short snippets of Augustyn Bloch’s Brain Work twice and the fourth track appears not to have been recorded for Library use.
The LPs listed are as far as possible the original source but recordings were sometimes reused so may have been from an earlier release. The original track description is used where available.

A collection of tunes with the distinctive disco beat.
Probably would have been better as a ‘Ninety Minute Disco Dance Party’ but that doesn’t scan so well.
If the embed doesn’t work go here.

Cover versions of Beatles’ Hits. Based on major UK & USA single releases.

In order of appearence…
I had a bash at tweaking a track by Mike Five who runs the Lights And Lines Record Label. I’ve mainly topped and tailed it and avoided buggering up the bulk of the song too much. 1980’s style guitar solo at the end – or at least something similar to what I was playing in the 80s.

This is mainly a collection of actors, writers and celebrities having a bash at knocking out a few tunes plus a couple of examples of people whose day job was originally music but are better known for what they did afterwards.
It’s designed as a sampler to prompt further exploration. Or at least that’s my excuse.

Those of a certain age may remember me posting English speakers attempting their songs in another language on this very site. Now, due to no public demand whatsoever, a whole collection of them have been broadcast under the the ‘Loud Hailers’ imprint on Beachy Head Radio.
These are mainly by the original artist but with the odd cover version thrown in for variety.
Possibly more of a background listen than the last one as many will be familiar and the foreign language the only novelty. I’ve included the original English title as we go along as well as the language or languages sung.

I see the two Kings are back with an EP of tunes radically similar to previous releases.
Contains a reimagining of track a smidgin under 40 years old sandwiched between a brace of new numbers.
Must have an early night, lots to do in the morning… hold on why are those musicians blowing into half a dalek?
…some hours later. Finally a clip where you can here the contrabass(?) sheng!

The first collection of Themed Music as part of a short series of compilations for Beachy Head Radio.
It streamed on 11th May and can now be found here.
All the music in this compilation was written by Ryuichi Sakamoto, alone or in collaboration. He was often also the Producer, Arranger, Performer or any combination of those roles. A handy utility player.
I wouldn’t qualify anywhere near the front of a grid of Sakomotorists and have but un peu de Japanese so there may well be errors below. I have though gone to the original releases for confirmation as far as possible.
*C* Composer
*P* Producer
*A* Arranger
*M* Performer
*G* Programmer
*X* Mixer
The prefix *c-* indicates a shared credit, eg. *c-P* = Co-Producer
