note:
Although the music collected on The Optical Sound isn't
soundtrack music per se, it clearly falls into the related
camp of Sound Library.
Fans of the Easy Tempo series will recognize three of the
21 tracks here from Vol. 2: Psycho Beat. All three came
from one of the original records collected on this Barigozzi
Group collection. The tracks "Silver Legs" "Red
Face" and "Violet Lips" come from Woman's
Colours, which was originally released on Minstrel. The
other records collected here are Rock in the Air and The
Tropicals, both of which were released on Jump. Though the
original release dates aren't noted, all could be dated
in that critical period of the late 60s, early 70s.
Most of the tracks adhere to a no nonsense groovy loungecore
sensibility. The group's sound boasts soulful organ and
piano, tight brass, raspy flute, rolling electric bass lines
and crisp funky drumming. And the stuff from The Tropicals
has an exotica feel in the arrangements.
