Jashumon
* Gatefold with obi, great classic, originally released in 1972 * This mighty soundtrack for Shuji Terayama's nihilistic movie of the same name contains all the elements necessary to reach J.A. Caesar's intended pleasure-centers. Here, turmoil, mind-numbing repetition, abject misery and grisly partriarchs abound, and all orchestrated by Caesar's damaged proto-metal and choral-led psychedelic sound. Mind-infesting in the truest sense, this soundtrack played in the dark is as certified a Gateway t…
Shintokumaru
Fourth J.A. Seazer album, originally issued on Victor in 1978. Shuji Terayama and J.A.Seazer’s phantasmagoric folk-psych-symph-prog-rock opera. Historical Tenjo Sajiki performance from 1978. J.A. Caesar (also spelled J.A. Seazer and J.A. Ceaser) is the pseudonym for a Tokyo music composer who has been involved with creating music for various theater and film projects since the very early '70s. His music is a radical mixture of progressive rock, traditional Japanese theater music, and Magma-inspi…
Flowers of Evil, Short Circuits, 7 Trumps from the Tarot & Pinions (3CD Bundle)
3CD Bundle. Official editions, remastered CD reissues of the Ruth White’s seminal albums Short Circuits, 7 Trumps from the Tarot & Pinions, and Flowers of Evil. White’s world would grow bolder in 1964, when she built her very own studio. In the current age of the affordability of technology, the likelihood of building your own recording space borders on something for the everyman/woman/they/them. Needless to say, that was resolutely not the case in the early 60s’, especially for a female artist…

Nessuno è perfetto
Beat Record releases for the very first time on CD the complete edition of the brilliant soundtrack by Riz Ortolani for the comedy "Nessuno è perfetto" directed in 1981 by Pasquale Festa Campanile and starring Renato Pozzetto and Ornella Muti. For a story in which a man falls in love with a beautiful girl (later it turns out that the woman is an ex-military transsexual), the author alternates a romantic love theme with female vocalism to another cheerful motif with a funky sound that takes up wi…
Off-Piste
Greg Foat has always had a great reverence for the musicians that featured on the records he has collected over the years. Whether they were players from the great European library catalogs, Italian soundtracks, American Jazz but most of all British Jazz. One of his all-time favourites being the beautiful tone of Art Themens Saxophone… After Art had played on a few sessions for Greg both were keen to record an LP together. Plans were hatched during lockdown and everyone headed to Edinburgh as so…
Patience (After Sebald)
Now over a decade old, this 2012 album is the soundtrack to acclaimed filmmaker Grant Gee's documentary about German writer WG Sebald. It’s been out of print since 2013 and remains a lesser known gem in The Caretaker catalogue.
Afro-Harping
The jazz-funk metamorphosis of harpist Dorothy Ashby completed on her 1968 album released on Chess records subsidiary Cadet. The cycle was literally completed when the album – recorded on February of the same year in Chicago – hit the stores. With arrangements by Richard Evans and a killer (unknown) line-up the record is full of samples galore, from "Soul Vibrations" and "Come Live With Me", plus a version of "Little Sunflower" by Freddie Hubbard.
Hagazussa
Mohammad are back!! With their name compressed into MMMD deliver their most lyrical work to date on the original soundtrack for Lukas Feigelfeld's slow-burning gothic horror movie “Hagazussa – A heathen's curse”. The music is absorbing, emotional and powerful as ever and bears MMMD's familiar idiosyncratic universe galvanized in their previous releases, while open to new sonic territories that reflect the film's constant state of dread as well as key elements such as trauma, isolation, anxiety a…
Persephone OST
Antifrost proudly presents the soundtrack from Costas Athousakis’ dreamy film ‘Persephone’, a Greek-Japanese Cine-Operetta based on the ancient Greek myth of the Abduction of Persephone.

Excerpts from…
Decoder - The Soundtrack
A cult classic of sci-fi dystopia, Decoder saw Neubauten’s members working alongside Genesis P-Orridge and William S. Burroughs. It’s one of the strangest (and most prescient) films of the decade

Soundtrack From The Film "More"
Commissioned as a soundtrack to the seldom-seen French hippie movie of the same name, More was a Pink Floyd album in its own right, reaching the Top Ten in Britain. The group's atmospheric music was a natural for movies, but when assembled for record, these pieces were unavoidably a bit patchwork, ranging from folky ballads to fierce electronic instrumentals to incidental mood music.
Ritmo dell’industria N. 2
*Limited edition yellow vinyl* At the end of the ‘60s in Italy – but also abroad, especially in France and England – a very particular trend began to spread, that one known as ’Library music’ or ‘sonorization’: as suggested by its name, those were real music libraries intended for the accompaniment of audiovisual productions such as television programs, advertisements, documentaries and films. Since they were created in total artistic freedom condition, they are often difficult if not impossible…
Cannibal Holocaust
AMS Records is proud to present a special edition of the 'Cannibal Holocaust' soundtrack, exclusively released on the occasion of Record Store Day 2023. It is, of course, one of the many 'cannibalistic' movies, but perhaps it's also the only one of its a genre that even today generates mixed feelings and strong controversy. The excellent soundtrack, composed by Riz Ortolani, makes extensive use of string instruments, masterfully arranged and directed to match the strong contrast between the more…
