Bruton Brutoff: The Ambient, Electronic and Pastoral Sounds of The Bruton Library Catalogue
Rare musical magic from the Bruton library catalog -- ambient, spacey, pastoral, and electronic. Music by John Cameron, Alan Hawkshaw, Francis Monkman, Brian Bennett, and more -- all total masters of the scene. Over the last three decades Jonny Trunk has collected and written about library music. But he's never had a great deal of luck with the Bruton catalog. By this he means that he's never stumbled across a massive stash, or lucked-out buying a huge run for practically nothing. But he did man…

Amsterdam Sunshine
**1984 Album Original copies** Curtis Clark’s 3rd Nimbus album was in retrospect a foreshadowing of things to come for Nimbus… Not only would Nimbus records relocate to Amsterdam within a few years of the release of this LP, but also this album features musicians that would form the heart of the Nimbus roster over the years to follow, with Ernst Reyseger on cello and Ernst Glerum on bass violin (see Amsterdam String Trio and TA releases).
