The funky, atmospheric, evocative and sometimes downright weird
output of companies such as DeWolfe, Cavendish, Burton and the
ubiquitous KPM have always been a guiding inspiration for ATA
Records, as evidenced in the spooky soundtrack vision of The
Sorcerers, the big band brass of The Yorkshire Film & Television
Orchestra and even in the soul-jazz of The Lewis Express &
Outer Worlds Jazz Ensemble.

It only seemed natural for the team at ATA Records to scratch their
own Library itch and so "The Library Archive Vol. 1" was born in
2019. Recorded over a series of sessions in the Aladdin’s Cave of
vintage recording equipment that is ATA studios, it featured many of
the ATA stable of performers.

Released in 2021, "The Library Archive Vol. 2" still had the golden
age of European Library music squarely in it's sights, but this time
the focus was drawn more to the off-kilter soul organ sound of Italian
quartet I Marc 4.

These two volumes garnered praise from Library aficionado Shawn
Lee ("Holy F*$K this sounds great! ATA really smash the classic
British Library sound. 10 out of 10") and the Don of British Library
Music himself, Alan Hawkshaw.

And so to "The Library Archive Vol. 3": taking heavy inspiration
from Jungle Obsession 9 by Roger Roger, and The Feed-back,
as well as Blaxploitation era composers such as Willie Hutch and
Melvin Van Peebles, and the masterful and ingenious Roy Budd,
"The Library Archive Vol. 3" draws deeply from the well of library
greatness.

Each track has been lovingly crafted with a keen ear for authenticity
and the same eye for detail shown on 'The Library Archive’ Vol. 1
& 2, recorded on the same instruments and equipment and with the
same techniques as the music that inspired it, with a focus
throughout on stripped-back rhythm sections topped by flute,
vibes and vintage synths.

With three volumes now out and another currently in R&D, The
Library Archive will stand as a testament to the love the ATA
producers and artists have for the original composers and
performers.
