This site has a hell of a lot of rips of old library music albums: https://librarymusicthemes.net/index.php?board=4.0

Almost every country had their music production companies and releases. It's like a whole separate world of music unknown to most people. And some of the stuff is really ahead of its time, like obvious house or techno music from the 70s.
First I thought this track could be british, then french, italian, canadian, didn't find anything like it. If someone has an ear for harmonies and melodies, to which country or side of the world would you put that track? The closest thing I found was some 70-80s porn soundtrack (I think it was Italian) but only because it used this "unconventional" type of arrangement, like getting more and more intense. I presume it was used in a sex scene.

You're referring to the fretless bass track, right?
I was convinced that was a Gary Numan B-Side for a short period but I had no luck finding anything in that regard. It is definitely from a record. I have heard a TON of library music and I don't think I have ever heard anything quite like this one, either. That kind of abrupt ending makes me think it is some B-Side or rough take.

I'm really thinking closing credits of a film, and its position toward the end of the mix fits right with that feeling of credits rolling.
I've spent the last week looking through library music online for any track over about 3:30 in length and come up empty handed. I'm working on the assumption it's after 1963 (because there's a mellotron) and before 1983 (because everything went very DX7 after that). I don't know what else to try. What style of music would you say this is?
mechanismj wrote:I would say all of you are looking in the right places. Library, jazz fusion, and yes, that is definitely a drum machine. Any idea which one? Perhaps that would help this along.
I am going to dig through the Terminal Passage channel a bit more tomorrow. This sounds very much like what they upload.
