Europa
A moody and tunnelling epic fuelled by exotic drums, Middle Eastern horns and cosmic synths that build to a thrilling climax, by by Asaf Samuel and Katzele, two of the founders of Tel-Aviv's 84% Creativity collective. This 2XLP album, Europa, is dedicated to and inspired by events in 2015 & 2016, which saw the spectre of global crisis come knocking at Europe's doorstep.During this time, more than a million migrants and refugees fled their homes in the Middle East, Northern Africa, sub-Sahara…
Olympic Signals
Giovanni Venosta’s Olympic Signals, is one of the great lost documents of the Italian avant-garde - the first solo outing from one of the movement’s seminal voices, most recognised for his collaborative work with Roberto Musci. In a sea of unjustly neglected works, Venosta’s debut rises from the tide time as a towering gesture of sonic creativity. A shimmering, complex wonder of overwhelming Minimalistic beauty. One of the great records of the 1980’s, that almost no one heard. Recorded 1…
Kill!
Fuzz guitars, go-go beats, weird exotic soundscapes and Doris Troy (of ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ fame) screaming about gizzards. Only in Rome, only in 1971. Brilliant but overlooked composer Berto Pisano and (we suspect) his no less talented brother Franco (working under a pseudonym) to craft the perfect score for this drug-fuelled piece of cinematic mayhem. Recorded at the Orthophonic Recording Studio, Roma 1971 and remastered in 2014 from the original stereo album master tapes this LP includes 2…
In Alpha Mood
**restocked** Near-mythical 1970's private press of early Israeli outsider electronic music by retiring Tel Aviv based multimedia artist Ami Shavit, new on Finders Keepers. Shavit was one of the first Israelis to flirt with the idea of electronic musicianship. In Alpha Mood is a collection of those embryonic stages. Following a private press-run and a very limited release, Finders Keepers Records have remastered the scraps from the cutting room floor and remastered them for reissue. With …
Tranceformer
A foundational piece of underground electronic music from Australia, which, remarkably, has not been available on vinyl since its original release almost 35 years ago: this double gatefold LP was in fact released on the independent Fission Chips label in 1980,combining the talents of Australia's first true electronic outfit (Rainbow Generator, founded in 1976) and Aussie and International artist Geoff Krozier (aka Jeff Crozier). "Finders Keepers really hit the crackpot, erm I mean jackpot this t…
I Am Black Beauty
"I am black beauty... love me!" A forthright enough request, one would think, from an artist whose music was indeed loved, revered and which played a hugely influential and omnipresent role in Lahore's vibrant cinematic patchwork that covered the late 1970s and early 1980s. However, until now, it seems that this lost love letter to a potential global audience of millions of sonic suitors has been caught up in the pesky Pakistani postal system. Nahid Akhtar needs a connection. Don't blame the Khy…
Family Evil
Crystal Syphon, one of the greatest “lost” groups of the West Coast psych scene, came together in Merced, California in 1965. Originally a Beatles / Byrds-influenced unit called the Morlochs, they soon shed their original moniker and moved in a more psychedelic direction, becoming a fixture on the ballroom circuit from 1966-1970. Although their music may nod in the direction of the New Tweedy Brothers and Quicksilver Messenger Service at times, it’s imbued throughout with a distinctive …

Fantastic World
Italian reissue label enters the fray as Orbeatize makes a powerful first move by looking back to the 80s and the wild experimentation of jazz drummer Armando Bertozzi. Having already made a distinctive entrance with two previous albums, Bertozzi's final masterstroke was Fantastic World, a daring body of work originally released in 1985. Rich with African percussion and wayward synthesis, this is far from a traditional record, and its hefty second hand price tag makes it more than worthy …

Music In Eight Octaves
A multi-octave delirium at the summit of sonic density. Recorded in 2005 in Melbourne, Chris Abrahams and Anthony Pateras multi-tracked 4 takes in each octave of the piano, superimposing them over each other to create a kaleidoscopic maelstrom pianistic energy in its purest form. Best known as the pianist from The Necks, this is a distinctly different outing for Abrahams, exploring a more maximalist energy and aesthetic than usual. As with all Immediata releases, Anthony Pateras interviews h…

I'm The One
Masterpiece!!! I'm The One, you don't have to look any further. I'm The One. I'm here, right here for you,' oozes jazz, rock, and electronic music pioneer Annette Peacock on the leadoff title track of her solo debut LP. The album's wide range of vocal emotions and diverse sonic palette (featuring Robert Moog's early modular synthesizers, which the singer actually transmitted her voice through to wild effect) places it firmly at the forefront of the pop avant-garde. Originally released by R…
Continuavano A Chiamarlo Trinita
The journey into the spaghetti westerns world continues -- the complete OST by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis for Continuavano A Chiamarlo Trinità ("Trinity Is Still My Name") directed by E.B. Clucher (Enzo Barboni) in 1971.

Taking advantage of the misunderstanding, the two let him willingly "buy" them with the …
Cai-Bem
“Cai-Bem” is a splendid addition to the already extensive discography of David Maranha. It is also the first full-length vinyl LP in Tanuki Records’catalogue. There is a story behind this new album, although you would not guess what it is, unless told. Keen to explore new ways of playing, as he has done during his whole career since he began playing with his band Osso Exotico in the 1980’s, Maranha suggested that they should all play other instruments that their regular ones. He himself …
