I Solisti Di Armando Trovajoli
Lucky Restock - Limited Quantities Please note: these are original copies that may show minor sleeve wear due to long-term storage. The vinyl is in excellent condition. Circa 1950, four musicians orbiting the RAI orchestra in Rome had what they later described as "a brilliant idea": to name their group using the initials of their own names. From Maurizio Majorana (bass), Antonello Vannucchi (Hammond organ and piano), Roberto Podio (drums and percussion), and Carlo Pes (guitar) emerged "I Marc 4…
Stroboscopica Vol. 3
Lucky Restock - Limited Quantities Please note: these are original copies that may show minor sleeve wear due to long-term storage. The vinyl is in excellent condition. The Hammond organ holds a chord. The drummer waits. And then - a groove so immediate, so perfectly constructed, that it feels like it has always existed, just waiting to be discovered. This is the paradox of Italian library music: composed for anonymity, destined for something greater.

Nell'Anno della Luna
A deep mystery surrounds both the film Nell'anno della Luna and its beguiling 1970 soundtrack, a work that hovers somewhere between the elegant swing orchestrations of an earlier era and the more adventurous sonic territories being charted by Italian composers at the close of the 1960s. Even in our current age of instant information and exhaustive online databases, almost nothing is known about the movie itself. What remains is the music: ten tracks of remarkable sophistication and inventiveness…
La Conquista di Luna
In July 20, 1969, as Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface, an Italian pianist and composer named Luciano Michelini was completing work on one of the most extraordinary documents of that moment's cultural impact: La Conquista Di Luna, an imaginary soundtrack to humanity's greatest adventure.
