There�s a lightness of touch and a breezy, jazzy atmosphere to these 12 Sven Libaek Australian film-score compositions from the �60s and �70s. Though Norwegian-born, Libaek spent much of his life in Australia, not counting 17 years in the US, doing TV music and pop arranging. It�s easy to imagine Australian landscapes within several of these pieces, and indeed the films themselves reflect that�one an Australian surf film, another a TV series about wildlife in Australia. The pieces for the Sydney-set film The Set are perhaps the �grooviest,� in the of-the-era, fashionable sense, but there�s groovier�in the free-ranging, psychedelic sense�sounds in the Inner Space pieces and some of the To Ride a White Horse surf pieces, which don�t resemble Cali �surf music� as much as haunted nightclub jazz. In all of this music there�s a relaxed, mood-music motif, but also both a strong sense of composition (Jonny Trunk�s liner-notes description of �hooky and unusual� melodies is especially apt) and a jazz-like looseness, perhaps attributable to the core group of jazz players that he used for them.
