Harley Toberman "Thoughts In Time" Production EFX Library EL 106 1982 320K

I just picked this up, so i thought i would post it, as i don't think anyone else has yet.   It's a pretty sick record that was privately released by Harley Toberman in 1982.  This is his 6th and final Record in the series and seems to be his only one that actually contains music, but i could be wrong. The message on the back reads, "people said my music wasn't commercial and i guess that's true, cause i could never sell any of it".  So i guess he decided to make library albums because his music was more visual, which makes a whole lot of sense.  The songs are extremely varied, from electronic tinkering, to full drum jamming and he says they span many years of late nights with friends.  Apparently Cut Chemist sampled a song from here as well.  So, check these tracks, and props to Harley Toberman for doing his own thing.  Enjoy!  Chris Tillotson

  2. Chris - Just came across your review of this LP. The Production EFX records - 5 LP's was the first stereo sound effects library, arranged by themes, that was sold to the trade (recording studios, Army/Airforce Radio stations, A/V producers, etc.) The music album "Thoughts in Time" was thrown in as an extra for the fun of it. Pretty amazing how things made in the 80's seem to turn up. My "hippie" band from the 60's - Blue Sandelwood Soap - just had a song placed in the TV series Mad Men. I guess its good not to throw anything away!
