Per Un Amico
* 500 copies, numbered edition. Remastered edition, Yellow vinyl * This is PFM's brilliant follow-up to Storia di un Minuto, and both albums are considered progressive rock classics, for good reason. The diversity, complexity, and integrity of the music here is as fine as anything produced during the early '70s from other prog rock giants such as Yes, Genesis, and King Crimson. The lyrics are in Italian and, while used sparingly, make a valuable contribution to the session's integrity. The music…

Resurrected from Ahbez’s unrecorded sheet music, c. 1961-63. Ixtahuele has woven an enchanted tapestry of mystic exotica and experimental pop that re- establishes the songwriter as a forefather of psychedelic music and brings his work into the present.
They are joined by a host of guest artists, including…
Sans Chemin
* Multi panels digipack * Murailles Music and Shelter Press release ‘Sans Chemin’, the new album of L’Ocelle Mare. A ritornello that awakens, unfolds, disappears, resurfaces, transforms, forgets itself, awakens again. A ritornello in folds and hollows, which gives us something to see as well as to listen, a theatre of acoustic shadows where each timbre, each rhythm, each modulation, is born from a meticulously re ned gesture. “I don’t write music, it’s an assemblage of gestural memories”, says…

Hdk Dungeon-synth Magazine # 4
* Limited to 200 copies Pro-dubbed solid yellow cassette + 28 pages booklet * Happy Halloween! With the fourth chapter of this project we experience the classic formula of “scary tales” like in many horror movies of the 80s! Short and terrifying stories, in the best tradition of exploitation. How do you “scare” with music? There are many different approaches: you can work on the timbre of sounds, creating disturbing and alien sound waves that send shivers down your spine. Or weave dark and sinis…
The Fortress Of Kruglach
* Limited Edition to 200 copies This is the soundtrack of the omonymous adventure published in “Proteus” Magazine (U.K.) in year 1986. * In the elder days, beyond the ancient forest of Regnad, the evil Sorcerer Kruglach built for himself a mighty fortress of stone. He retreated into this, to experiment with dark and terrible enchantments, and a fear fell upon the land. The people were afflicted with plague and pestilence; animals and children vanished from their homes at dead of night; and th…
Beyond The Silvered Pane
Your host for this dungeon is that cheerful mercantile dwarf, Marcelanius the Fair. And fair he is, if you are fair with him. Those who try to cheat him find he swings a mean war hammer. After purchasing an old mirror (which proved to be the entrance to many separate planes of existence), he saw a chance to make some money off current dungeon-delving craze and developed his Looking Glass Dungeon (no cracks about Alice in Wonderland)". Thus in 1978 the adventure "Beyond the silvered pane", a mod…

Sirocco: A Compendium Of Experimental Music Made In Portugal Vol.2
As famous as the Northern Wind or Mistral, Sirocco is a Mediterranean wind that blows from the Sahara Desert, and is widely responsible for huge and cinematic sand storms, and also for a strange phenomenon called “blood rain”, due to the red sand that eventually mixes with the falling rain. I’ve also heard that “Life is in the blood“, so let the wind blow! Without any further delay, Wasser Bassin proudly presents: Rafael Toral, Han, Tózé Ferreira, The Beautiful Schizophonic, Discmen, Gala Drop…
Viagem de Inverno
* 100 copies * Wasser Bassin proudly presents, “viagem de inverno“, Tózé Ferreira‘s first vinyl release in more than 30 years! Back in 1988, when the mythical label, Ama Romanta, released Tózé‘s debut “Música De Baixa Fidelidade”, the portuguese musical panorama simply wasn’t ready for contemporary electronic compositions, specially if they were computer programmed pieces, blended with abstract synth layers.
Tózé‘s rare performances were often mocked by the audience, and, usually, ended in …

Expectancy
** 2LP. Limited Blue Vinyl edition ** A reputed classical violinist and music teacher on the one hand, a curious jazz cat on the other. A business man and control freak, but an artist and free spirit as well. Still, rather little is known about René Costy. Small wonder: the Belgian musician and composer was in many, if not all, respects a singular man. The lure of international show business was wasted on him and consequently, his name has remained a well-kept secret. But cream always rises to…
