The album “The Seventies”, released in 1978 under the moniker Electric Banana, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of library music and film scores. Electric Banana was, in fact, an alias used by the legendary rock band The Pretty Things to create a diverse range of instrumental tracks, specifically for use in film and television projects.

“The Seventies” is not an album featuring individual songs with vocals, but rather a collection of instrumental pieces deeply imbued with the styles of the 1970s. From vibrant funk grooves, captivating soul textures, energetic rock, to mellow pop, this album vividly recreated the musical atmosphere of that era. Each track was crafted to evoke a specific mood or setting, allowing filmmakers and producers to easily find the perfect sonic backdrop for their works.

This album stands as a testament to the versatility and hidden talents of The Pretty Things, as they ventured beyond the confines of traditional rock songs to build a unique collection of instrumental soundscapes. “The Seventies” is not only a significant part of library music history but also an authentic reflection of the diverse and dynamic musical landscape of the 1970s.
