Sleeve Notes

“After last year’s trip through the Telemusic archives for Volume 3, the taste has developed once again for a further foray into the French library scene. Round four of the Exclusive Blend Series sees an expedition through the ighty vaults of the Chappell Muisc Library, focusing mostly on dancefloor friendly recordings, alongside some archive Gallic atmospherics thrown in for good measure.

This compilation is primarily culled from the Chappell DMM Series of LPs, recorded in Paris from 1966 to the early 1970s. The Dance and Mood Music series (DMM) was established to explore musical boundaries of Jazz, R’n’B, Classical and the Avant-garde for the purpose of TV, radio and film synchronisation. The principal DMM writers Jack Arel, Pierre Dutour, Jean Claude Petit and Paul Piot were given unprecedented artistic freedom for the time. This resulted in high quality recordings that clearly demonstrate how library music can be so much more than just hack work – within its confines there too can be inspirational music. Chappell writers and producers we salute you!”
