Publishers with Music Libraries, or Production Music Libraries as they are now known, commissioned composers to write music specifically for this media. At that time, the Publishers were all members of a Licensing Society, and the Library music could thus be made available at affordable rates. Library Music did provide - and still does - a great variety of musical compositions not available on commercial records.

Amongst the best known of these are some members of the bands Soft Machine and Curved Air, and Anthony Phillips, co-founder of Genesis. Kevin Peek a major session musician and member of classical/rock band Sky also recorded many pieces of music for both film and TV.  Many of these Library recordings had only a limited release at the time, making them quite rare and very collectable for the fans of a particular artist.

Daryl Way will be best known as the founder member of British progressive rock band Curved Air. With them Daryl recorded a number of best selling albums and also a hit single with back Street Luv. He was also the founder of another post Curved Air band in the seventies called Wolf. Daryl has recorded a number of solo albums and is a member of the re formed Curved Air.

Classical Rock is an album of pieces recorded for film and television and reflects both the classical and rock elements of his composing and playing. It goes without saying that fans of Curved Air will also be interested in this instrumental album.
