The cds are in near mint condition. 3 cd rom set.
“This Sample Lab loop library is aimed specifically at the disco-funk-house hybrids which have enjoyed so much success on the dance floors of Europe in recent years where the ‘disco’ is concentrated in the breaks, snares, and bass/guitar licks, while the ‘house’ is most apparent in the kicks, hats, and ethnic percussioThe layout of Discography has a commendable amount in common with that of the company’s Luscious Grooves, which enjoyed a five-star review back in SOS October 2004, so the 600 loops are grouped into sample-accurate tempo groups of 120, 122, 125, 128, and 130bpm, allowing immediate and accurate layering of elements. The key of each loop is documented in the booklet where relevant, and every one of the main drum loops also has a short written description, which makes it a hell of a lot easier to find the one you want.Each tempo group has sections for drums, percussion (bongo, conga, tabla, shaker, and tambourine), guitar, and bass. The drums put in a strong performance in exactly the areas that you’d expect, stalking along effortlessly and supplying power where it matters in the kick and snare departments many of the disco-influenced libraries I’ve heard have seemed rather anaemic, in my opinion, but there’s no danger of limpness here. Although you’re never in any doubt about what you’ve come to this library for, it’s nice that Sample Lab include some more stylistically wayward breaks which provide variety without stepping too far outside the overall genre. The percussion tracks are all solid and functional, including some fine conga playing and a few notably weighty shaker parts.The guitar loops pull all the funk rhythm shapes you’re likely to need, with clean, wah, and distortion sounds supplemented by the odd rhythmic delay. All slot well into the stylistic niche, and are certainly comparable in quality to the contents of some of the more specialised rhythm-guitar titles. However, the highlight of Discography for me is the selection of bass loops, which are effortlessly nimble and so deep in the pocket that they might as well be hiding underneath a layer of loose change!On the downside, you only get the one bass guitar sound, but I’m not complaining because it’s a lovely one, with weight and ‘wire’ in pleasing proportions. Upon discovering that only the first three tempo groups included bass loops, I almost chewed a star petulantly from the SOS rating, but on closer examination bass loops turned out still to make up 10 percent of the total file count, so the toys were soon back in the pram. Overall, the taste, craftsmanship, and musicality of Discography fully deserve five stars.
