Action Catalyst by Julius Vanderbilt
In this compelling collection of theme tunes, sound effects, programme cues and atmospheres, Julius Vanderbilt conjures up shimmering spacescapes, horror pastiches and cold-war spy dramas. Influenced by everything from our Doctor Who sci-fi heritage to Italian B-movie soundtracks, these 18 nuggets abound with laboratory electronics, fuzz guitars, earthy woodwinds, harpsichords and wobbly reverbs.
Absolutely nailed the library vibe. I love that it’s dripping with 70s noir cool – Danger in Movement’ in particular ....... paired with some playful and even some almost sitcom moments – ‘The Insiders’ - and also fabulous Paddy Kingsland style Radiophonic psychedelia - ‘Outer Space Mission’ & ‘Fright Pattern’ – is just perfect for my ears.
Ian Holloway (Wyrd Britain)
Lovely set of music, now I know who's responsible for all the tricky time signatures in the Dandelion Set.
Kevin Foakes (DJ Food, Strictly Kev)
lovely jazz-tinged psych and electronica, chock full of glorious chord sequences and time signatures that'll catch you off-guard..Highly recommended!
Jez Butler (Twelve Hour Foundation)
Julius is not one for bombast and prefers to keep his sound on the understated border of consciousness and the void which is located somewhere in that glorious haze known as surrealism.
Peter Marks (Santa Sangre magazine)
This latest from Julius Vanderbilt should find itself sitting comfortably amid your prized buried treasure, castles in space, finders keepers, ‘Cobra’ era Stereolab, whilst similarly finding the time to peek over the fence and catch the enviable eye of the ghost box collective
Mark Barton (The Sunday Experience)
these are great !! love them
Tim 'Love' Lee (Tummy Touch records)
The solo album is amazing! I love Library music like that…
Alex Cooper (Freeze Peach Radio, Bristol)

Jon Kelly (SIne FM Radio)
