First time vinyl (2LP) pressing of Atom Heart’s 1994 ambient album as Dots, originally released by his mighty Rather Interesting label and now newly prepped by Uwe Schmidt himself and cut by Noel Summerville for Astral Industries. Modestly self-described by Schmidt aka Dots as “elevator music”, the project’s only release is defined by its spacious parameters and paucity of palette, using icy arps and plangent bleeps to connote a wide, free-floating sense of vastness and airy detachment. If it is…
An amazing disco-prog tune with funky basslines, sustained by obsessive clavinet and lead by a dope space moog. A killer track still underrated and unknown today, where members of Goblin play uncredited. The whole story about the relationship between maestro Stelvio Cipriani and Goblin’s Claudio Simonetti, Fabio Pignatelli, Massimo Morante, and Agostino Marangolo is still to be written.
The two most danceable tracks taken from Stelvio Cipriani’s cult OST, now finally for the first time on a 7-inch record. “Femina Ridens” features an exhilarating and ‘arioso’ orchestration which accompanies the beguiling voice of Olympia (one of the female vocalists of I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni), whose awkward British diction turns a feminist lyric into a powerful and irresistibly sensuous song. On the flip side, “Sophisticated Shake” is a sumptuous jewel of psychedelic jazz in which Edd…

This is really something, don't miss the wholly unique world of the 1990s hidden classic. Frank Dommert’s debut album was one of the first significant volleys from Cologne in the new decade. His history stretched back through the second half of the 80a, as he’d already released a number of cassettes via his label Entenpfuhl, and had collaborated with Hirsche Nicht Aus Sofa (H.N.A.S.), the Aachen-based surrealist-noise-junk outfit led by Christoph Heemann and Achim P Li Khan. Their connection wit…
The infamous Italian sexy-comedy genre now has its own saucy compilation. 21 cuts, including 13 tracks never published before on any format, taken from the finest original soundtracks of the genre. From groovy disco bangers and charming jazz-funk, sleazy-listening and rock blends, to analogue electronic experiments, pure “aerobic groove" that spells out the melodic action of female starlets like Gloria Guida, Edwige Fenech, Nadia Cassini, Lilli Carati, and all the other heroines in this genre of…

Right after "High Crime "(La Polizia Incrimina, la Legge Assolve), the magic duo of Guido and Maurizio De Angelis conceive yet another highlight of the genre - the groovy, melancholic score of The Violent Professionals (Italian: Milano trema: la polizia vuole giustizia), which perfectly sets the tone of metropolitan violence presented on the screen. A dramatic sound, which preludes the acid- prog and gloomy music created for Il Grande Racket just three years later, with lots of flutes, clav…
A dream that has become reality: one of the best and among the most sought after soundtracks by Gianni Ferrio finally comes back to life in LP form. The original record has always been one of the rarest of the entire cult RCA SP series, considered an absolute must-have for the Italian groove hunters of the day: Jazz-funk texture with touches of blaxploitation, b-boy breaks, flipped out hammond, flashes of bossa and the vocal stylings of the unmistakable Edda Dell’Orso.

Edition of 300 copies. Official reissue of this experimental industrial electronic classic originally released by Discos Esplendor Geométrico in 1987. "After 41 years you should know De Fabriek means The Factory, a name not chosen because of a love for Andy Warhol or the UK label of the same name (which hardly existed at the time De Fabriek started), but because of what a factory represents; there are workers, creating a small portion of the final product. In the early days these workers were a …
Between 1982 and 1984 Death Magazine 52 played around 20 shows mostly within the Black Country region of the U.K. Sometimes they played under the name Spontaneous Human Combustion which was the moniker they originally started out with.

180 gram reissue of Miles Davis' expansive 1972 album. ""Here are killer groove riffs that barely hold on as bleating trumpet and soprano sax lines (courtesy of Dave Liebman on track one) interact with John McLaughlin's distortion-box frenzy. Michael Henderson's bass keeps the basic so basic it hypnotizes; keyboards slowly enter the picture, a pair of them handled by Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, as well as Ivory Williams' synthesizer." (All Music)
Skilled spaghetti western soundtrack action from Nico Fidenco.

The legendary Nico Fidenco's score for the 1975 Italian-Spanish softcore sexploitation film Black Emanuelle is by turns sultry and serious, fun and funky. The sound is sophisticated, groovy, and melodically memorable, mixing Latin rhythms -- in a continuous sexual tension with the exotic images of the beautiful lead Laura Gemser -- and electronic textures that show the influence of early techno masters such as Giorgio Moroder and Kraftwerk.A brand new line of gorgeous picture discs from Morri…

The original Swedish release …
**150 copies, black vinyl** There are still so many treasures to be discovered out there, but once you find a gem like this you can definitely put the research on hold for a little while and give it a deep listen.

The rarest of all exotic LPs, like Eden Ahbez but with extra added death. This bizarre, rarely heard masterpiece brings together jazz, ancient manuscripts, and a convicted murderer... Issued originally in 1959 it originates from Phoenix, Arizona. The concept behind the recording was unusual -- to bring together two unconnected worlds: the jazz genius of Buddy Collette with the academic oriental studies and translations of A.I Groeg. Little can be found of A.I. Groeg, but before the LP was record…
