Not all dusty obscurities are worth revisiting, but library music ensemble Gruppo Sound’s 1987 set Dreams For Sax most definitely is. Rooted in mid-80s jazz-funk, ‘pages from Ceefax’ easy listening, glossy electrofunk and early ’80s disco, it’s a genuinely joyous collection of jaunty instrumental workouts that should delight Balearic crate diggers, sample-hunting beat-makers and synth-loving disco heads. Given the title, you’ll be unsurprised to find that saxophone features prominently, but it never dominates; in fact, the range of virtuoso piano solos and the loved-up nature of the Gruppo Sound’s approach makes much more of a lasting impression. – Juno
