The SoundMarket is a creative advisory service and a hub for exploring unique and often overlooked music. Our team is a subversive throng of needy nushnicks, knee deep in buried or bygone tunes left off many a playlist. Our selection process is not based on algorithms; we filter for music that sounds good based on our particular tastes. Each chosen song has distinctive qualities that set it apart and warrant further exploration.
We aim to spotlight music lying off the beaten path, songs never known, perhaps long forgotten, or just worth a second look. Indeed, not every song we feature is obscure, what may be familiar to some may be old hat to others. We aim to spotlight the diamonds in the rough and expand musical horizons across all fronts.
The plan is to fully categorize the tracks, but our current work-in-progress approach is to present scattered songs to offer a diverse listening experience.
Given the subjective nature of our list, we encourage everyone to suggest songs they believe deserve recognition. We welcome you to reach out to us and share you musical gems, as we aim for SoundMarket to be a go-to platform for exciting music discoveries.

Not exactly sure what is so compelling about this number. Perhaps its the elegantly simple delivery of the chorus, or the way the lyrics so mellifluously tumble along, bouncing off the music like skipping stones across the water.

The SoundMarket is a serious sucker for full-throated sing-alongs, so please feel free to join in this gleeful glee-club of glib gay libbers! This was originally done by the Momas and the Papas, and is also quite good
This song was used in the much overlooked HBO series, My Brilliant Friend, which, in addition to being a well told tale, is an excellent source for cool, heartfelt, Italian music ! Lontano dagli occhi roughly translates to , ” far from the eyes, far from the heart…”, and Endrigo’s delivery here is pure dal cuore italiano…
In some circles, this is a far cry from obscurity. However, those unfamiliar with the unique tug of Mediteranean music will hear an exuberant example of an Italian love song at its celebratory peak.
