\nWe’re always working on improving and diversifying the ways that you can browse and search for music here at Shockwave-Sound.com, and this week we’ve added the possibility to browse for retro music<\/b> by decade.<\/p>\n

By clicking on Suggested Production Types<\/b> you can see a panel similar to the one shown here on the left. You will see various “Historical \/ Retro:” selections including:<\/p>\n

1980’s<\/b>: The era of the electro pop and a continuation of the “later era Disco” that was started in the 70’s. Also, soul (Motown) and AOR Rock music was prominent in this era.<\/p>\n

1970’s<\/b>: The era of Motown, Disco and Funk, when pants had flares and the Bee Gees ruled Boogie Town.<\/p>\n

1960’s:<\/b> The era of peace and love, free love and free sex, when hippies set the musical order and pop & rock music took on Beatles’esque sounds and psychedelic colors. Also prominent in this era was the Bossa Nova and smooth latin chill-out music.<\/p>\n

1950’s:<\/b> When Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley and Bill Haley & the Comets ruled the world. This was the era of the Rockabilly, along with classic Jazz sounds<\/p>\n

1920-1940’s:<\/b> This was the era of happy jazz music, Dixieland and Charleston, but also Gospel, Blues and early Hollywood type orchestral film music.<\/p>\n

Older \/ History Channel etc:<\/b> This is where you’ll find music that we felt would be suitable for general Historical programmes, historical documentaries, world history \/ heritage and so on. Much of this music is pretty “ambient” in that it would work well simply as background music to storytelling, documentary film etc.<\/p>\n

Remember that you can Combine<\/b> one of the above selections with other criteria, by using the Advanced Browse<\/b> feature. For example, you can choose to browse music from the 1970’s which is also marked with having a “Happy” mood. Or, you can choose to browse music from the 1920-40’s which feature a trumpet. There are many, many such possibilities available to you from within our Advanced Browsing tool, which you can read more about here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
