Selector and library music fanatic Jonny Trunk presents a blissful set of ambient and electronic music from the Bruton library catalogue; all deeply spacious, pastoral and strangely timeless. Frank Ricotti, Johnny Scott, John Cameron; chances are you won’t have heard of these luminaries unless you stumbled across a training video in the UK at any point in the 1980s, but they’re undeniably masters of the craft, worthy of reappraisal (and surely a sample credit on some future hip-hop record). Tunes like ‘Vibes’ and ‘Billowing Sails’ breeze gently with smooth jazz bass lines, flourishing strings and vivacious vibraphones, a testimony to this overlooked art form.
