For those who are unfamiliar, Dusty Fingers is a compilation series which over the course of many volumes has delved into the world of library music, rare groove and forgotten beats. The results have been stunning and continue to be a gold mine for DJ's, producers and music fans alike. Sometimes the tracks are pared down to highlight the funkiest moments and sweetest drum breaks; this means there is rarely a dull moment as the listener is pummelled with fantastic music.

Volume 10 features a strong set of gems with Brian Bennett, Alan Parker and Keith Mansfield representing the library music scene. Track 1 is listed here as "KG Intro" but I have seen it titled as "Space Guerilla" by Missus Beastley. Also "Drum Skit 2" is unmistakably "Zouche Drums 3" by David Holland which features on Luke Vibert's Nuggets. I'm sure there will be someone out there who can identify the other "Drum Skits". The tracks always have something unique about them which makes you want to listen again and again, whether it be a particular beat, piano line or horn solo.

Stay tuned because I will count down to Volume 1 over the course of the next month or so. Trust me, each addition is as good as the last. Thanks to the original uploader.

Not a dud in the bunch on this one! And since they always put the best stuff in the earlier volumes, we're gonna be hit with EVEN MORE AWESOME as we listen our way to the first volume.

GREAT find, Mr.C!
