Il Dio chiamato Dorian
Another amazing 7-inch! Two heavy psychedelic groover tracks, full of crazy percussion, fuzz guitar, and hammond organ all played by I Marc 4 and composed by their organist Antonello Vannucchi, and both echoing the immortal In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida riff by Iron Butterfly. Rito a Los Angeles was used by Steven Soderbergh in his 2004 film, Ocean’s Twelve. An amazing and haunting groove that is ideal for DJs & producers.

Next Of Kin
Praised by Quentin Tarantino as one of the greatest films from Australian New Wave cinema, Next Of Kin (1982) was a highly stylised psychological thriller in the bloody tradition of European art-Horror. Scored by none other than ex-Tangerine Dream/Ash Ra Tempel drummer and German electronic music pioneer Klaus Schulze, the music featured in the film was a unique hybrid of pulsing Giallo-moods and hypnotic Berlin-School electronica.

Ascenseur pour l'échafaud
Representing a more intimate and spontaneous side of Miles Davis, this expanded re-release of the soundtrack to Ascenseur pour l'échafaud is a welcome event.
