Abbiamo Tutti un Blues da Piangere
“Abbiamo tutti un blues da piangere” is the Perigeo second album, which continues a slow but steady evolution over a solid rock basis, moving from the originary jazz component to a growing fusion side, with an increasingly dominant search of melody. In the seven tracks of this LP the sound is still edgy and dark, thanks to a constant tension that never stops until the end of the last song.
This reissue is the result of a unique collaboration between two long-established companies in the jazz and…
Quarta Pagina
Another amazing find of our research - this obscure LP by The Braen's Machine is dated 1971 and is part of one of the most fascinating and enigmatic periods of Italian music history. Library Music, made for radio and TV mainly, pressed on a few vinyl copies..."Quarta pagina" portrays with great ability some possible - who knows if they ever had been realized - crime scenes, with hard-boiled and dark atmospheres, alternating with the Psych-Funk rides that have always characterized many of the pro…
Synthi Time
*2022 stock* Synthi Time is perhaps one of the most suitable albums - within Umiliani's incredibly vast discography - to fully appreciate the composing and experimental genius of the Maestro. For once away from the classic soundtracks that made him popular, this project veers away also from refined works of library music such as Genti e paesi del mondo (People and countries of the world) or Problemi d'oggi (Today's issues), released under the moniker of Zalla. In this case, we like to imagine hi…
Svezia Inferno e Paradiso
*2022 stock* One of the greatest soundtracks ever from the mighty Piero Umiliani is finally available again, in a faithful replica of the original edition on Omicron. A sublime mix of erotic elements, playful funky numbers, and warm jazzy tunes – all supposedly scored for an exploitation documentary about sex in Sweden – but music that really stands strongly on its own! There's a number of cuts with those cool Hammond organ tricks that Umiliani does so well – and lots of others have cool female …
Dramatest 1974
*2022 stock* Absolute music composed for keys which sound is processed in order to obtain particular effects, timbre and soundscape. There would not be other words needed to describe “Dramatest”, a release of experimental library music published in 1974 by Fonovideo and signed by Oscar Rocchi (and his moniker Chiarosi) and Fabio Fabor. Rocchi, an excellent pianist and composer, had worked with heavy weights of Italian jazz such as Dino Piana e Oscar Valdambrini (on their amazing album Afrodite) …

Tuva trance
Muruga'll turn 70 years old next Dec. 2012 and he'll also celebrate 55 years in music business. his probably the most eclectic/complete musician/artist i had ever met. i recently saw a youtube video where he plays with John Lee Hooker... and here you'd hear him for the 1st time on accordion, which he told me he played since age 14... his master was the Russian Gypsy Misha Bishkoff. a musician's friend of mine says that he's a genious ! i totally agree and i'd like to add that he's also one of th…

"Finland has always been a place of original charachters... well Rakka are 101% original cats (they learned the lesson/s and went their OWN way/s) and in this so amazing and so exciting today music world, that's already something ! most (if not nearly all) of the records coming out today have a no future or play me only once tag... well these records (top mastering for a top sound quality) are destined to have a bright future and to be played at least twice (such beautiful compositions, all orig…
Summer Sessions, Del Tre
"One day i was going through the records that i bought in betw 2000 and 2010... i gave most of them away and kept only the cream.. among these there was the 1st Elektrodiesel album which came out in 2000 on Synesthetic label on a very heavy slab of wax... so i thought about writing/looking for the man behind it... fortunatly Espen, apart being a really easy going folk, rec. more material from that 1999 Summer Session ! in over 3 days, 2 hours and 40 minutes were put on a cassette dictaphone (no …
Trulofa Trio

FRKYS Vol. 8
"Volume 8 in the ongoing FRKWYS series on RVNG Intl. is a double album-length collaboration between Blues Control and Laraaji. Following the 'fodder first' tradition of previous FRKWYS installments, Vol. 8 was birthed over e-mail dialogue between RVNG and Russ Waterhouse and Lea Cho of Blues Control. Blues Control's evolved output gracefully arcs with influence and innovation that gleams electronic, New Age, and hard rock terrains. Laraaji's name came up early in that conversation and felt intri…
Elite Excel
The first taster of Stellar Om Source’s upcoming LP for RVNG Intl., Joy One Mile, ‘Elite Excel’ comes backed with a fantastically brooding remix from Kassem Mosse. Christine Gualdi’s vision of electronic music has expanded since we last checked in; tantric analogue drone sequences have given way to more rugged future-city constructions inspired by her investigation of the roots of New York electro and Detroit techno. ‘Elite Excel’ begins in a nocturnal cruise mode reminiscent of early Carl Craig…
Angel Tears in Sunlight
Angel Tears in Sunlight is Pauline Anna Strom’s first album in over thirty years; an assemblage of music that refracts the expansiveness, and minutiae, of imagined realms while embracing the kaleidoscopic echoes of our distant epochs.
The capacity to collapse time might elucidate the enigma of Pauline Anna Strom. A mystic force in music, emerging during the dawn of new age as the Trans-Millenia Consort, the pioneering synthesist channelled primordial energies into future-facing sound through a s…
American Rituals
Tip! On the outskirts of late 1970s Olympia, Washington, something stirs, sings, and breathes. Cheri Knight, a music composition student at the Evergreen State College, is developing her practice in a quaint but adequately equipped campus recording studio, amalgamating with the sonic timbre of the surrounding time, space, and place, while devoting to her own inner maxims. At once performative and meditative, electronic and organic, collaborative and self-contained, Cheri’s early compositions are…

Becoming Peter Ivers
Becoming Peter Ivers tells the story of the late Peter Ivers, a virtuosic songwriter and musician whose antics bridged not just 60s counterculture and New Wave music but also film, theater, and music television. Written and recorded in Los Angeles in the mid-to-late-1970s, Becoming Peter Ivers raises the curtain on this mischievous master of ceremonies, who, harmonica in hand, rarely missed a chance to light up an audience. Since his untimely death in 1983, Ivers' short but storied life has been…

An enchanted exploration of unusual source synthesis, electro-acoustic arrangements, and found sound, Advanced Myth is its own cosmos expanding in real time. Newly mastered from definitive mixes by Stephan Mathieu, and available for the first time on vinyl.
In the absence of conventional structure, it’s shifts in spirit that provide Advanced Myth’s emotive signposti…
Nowhere In The Night
Psychic Ills and Gibby Haynes’ Nowhere in the Night arrives from somewhere sometime ago, a document of sound bending, twisting, and stretching with the joy of collaboration and untethered aspiration.
Psychic Ills, then the trio Tres Warren, Elizabeth Hart, and Brian Tamborello, first intersected musically with Gibby Haynes, then and forever the founding member of Butthole Surfers, when the two groups with Texas roots toured extensively in 2009, and next when the Ills invited Haynes to contribute…
Le Soleil, la Mer, le Coeur et les Etoiles
Edition of 300 copies on black vinyl. Released as part of the series 'Collection Archives Des Musiques Industrielles DeFrance', here are two previously unissued tracks from 1982. This music like all first works of Etant Donnes was made without any instrument or effect but is the fruit of a long work on a raw sound material coming only from nature field recordings.
Etant Donnés are two brothers, Eric and Marc Hurtado, who founded this duet in 1980. They realised music, films (from 1982…
