Review of Jonny Trunk’s ‘The Music Library’.
This is a genre of music that I pride myself on having some expertise. There is a gap in the market & a real need for literature/research on library music.
This book, although it covers all the major library music labels & has beautiful illustrations, is really a graphic art book, not supplying any details about the actual music. As a coffee table guide to the graphics of the period it is fine. However, if like me you expected an analysis of the genre you will be disappointed.
Once again, I would state that although this type of music has become trendy, there is a dire need for written materials to substantiate the buzz that is going around.
Please note his radio programme on Resonance FM called O.S.T. is well worth a listen.
