Fotografiert Bunny
First ever vinyl LP reissue of one of the best library / jazz / groovy albums from Germany. Conceived and recorded in 1965 as (sort of) the soundtrack for advertising-designer, artist and photographer Charles Wilp photo sessions, it was composed by classical trained musician Siegfried Ulbrich, credited here under one of his pseudonym Marvin Martin. The album is a fantastic sequence of jazzy easy listening sounds, sometimes spiced with the actual sound of Wilp and his models speaking through the …
Psychedelic Visions
Rare, sought after exploitation album from 1967 showcasing the garage-turns-to-psychedelia sound of the era. Fuzz and acid, no need for flowers - but bring them along if you feel like it! Opening with an outtasite fuzz drenched cover of the Count V timeless punk anthem Psychotic Reaction, this LP takes us on a fuzzier than fuzz trip through some of the classics of the era like The Blues Magoos' (We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet, The Isley Brothers' Shout, John D. Loudemilk's Tobacco Road and Bobby Blan…
Contemporaneamente
A pure beauty! Unreleased before experimental music composed by Ennio Morricone and mostly performed by the legendary Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, with some surprising use of percussions, vocals and electronics too! The maestro has used electric instrumentation on other scores, but this one has a pretty different feel – a handful of tracks that have more of a future-sounding quality, with a spacious mix of light strings and more sparely focused instrumentation. Other numbers get …

Exotica
This album at hand by prolific legend Martin Denny is the one which gave a name to an entire genre. Released for the first time in 1956, “Exotica” does have more than just a historical importance. The songs are all outstanding. Based on jazz and folk this is an early example of mind altering music , because the album sets you in a dreamy state with all its haunting melodies and the sound effects that remind of wild animals in the jungle trees. The rhythmical base is rooted in Latin music,…
Amanti D'Oltretomba
** in restock** First time on vinyl ever, released on 180g coloured vinyl. Taken from the 1965 horror-goth movie directed by Mario Caiano as Allan Grunewald, a very sparse and dark soundtrack with luscious orchestration, with many dissonant passages and an overall experimental feel."A very weird little soundtrack from Ennio Morricone – earlier than most of his classics, and done in a style that's much more conventionally horror-based! The film may be known to American viewers as Nightmare…
Criminale - Vol.2 Ossessione
2016 repress. A record as weird and wild as the cover – filled with really tripped-out sounds from the obscure Flipper sound library in Italy! The music follows strongly in the best style of the rock-driven sounds from Italian horror films – but there's also a more compact approach too, with some funky elements that really make the whole thing sparkle – and a restrained approach that's far less indulgent than the prog styles that Italy was famous for at the time. The whole thing's great …

Fly To Brazil
Strerath is a pianist of European calibre and he has won numerous prizes since 1967. The Walter Strerath Trio played at many Jazz Festivals in Europe and they were invited to play at Newport in the early 1970s. On this 1975 session they explore the music of Brazil. The Bossa Nova is sort of a feed-back of North-American jazz with its drive, blues and beat compared to Brazilian samba with its “joie de vivre” and optimism. The Walter Strerath Trio commands this synthesis between North and So…

Solar Flares
Restocked, reduce price. Fresh from recording the legendary Inner Space soundtrack, 1974 saw Sven Libaek embark on Solar Flares, an amazing library recording for Peer International UK.

Come With Me To The Casbah
Temporary Super Offer! Originally released in 1959.

5 Bambole per la Luna d'Agosto
5 Bambole per la Luna d'Agosto" (5 Dolls for the August Moon), directed by the Italian master of thriller Mario Bava, is today considered a great cult film of Italian cinema. Underestimated by many, due to unconvincing screenplay and dialogues, the work has to be rediscovered thanks to its chromatic and photographic techniques, on which at the time - and in many ways still today - Bava was second to none: the same horror Maestro Dario Argento paid homage to him several times in many of hi…
Il Segreto
Il Segreto is a noir film directed in 1974 by Robert Enrico and starring Jean-Louis Trintignant, Marlène Jobert, Philippe Noiret, Solange Pradel, Antoine Saint John, Jean-François Adam. The Ennio Morricone music reflect the noir atmosphere of the plot where a veritable subtle "manhunt" against three people is unleashed. Suspense music on the border of the avant-garde experiments (harps with echoes) is alternated to a nostalgic motif with the voice of Edda Dell'Orso. At the time, only a 45…
