Forbidden Planet
A landmark moment in both cinema and electronic music history returns to vinyl with the reissue of the legendary soundtrack to Forbidden Planet by Bebe and Louis Barron. This release represents far more than a simple reissue - it's the restoration of an absolute milestone that fundamentally changed both film scoring and electronic music forever, marking the first time an entirely electronic score was created for a major feature film. Recorded in 1956 by the visionary husband-and-wife team Bebe a…
Oceano
Quartet Records, in collaboration with Universal Music Publishing Italia and EMI Music Publishing, presents a meticulously remastered reissue of Ennio Morricone's fascinating score for Folco Quilici's Oceano (1971), a pseudo-documentary film that stands as one of the most unique and spiritually profound projects in both filmmakers' careers. This definitive release showcases Morricone at his most experimental and meditative, creating what may be his most transcendent work for cinema. The film fol…
Questa Specie D'Amore (Original Soundtrack)
Ennio Morricone's subversive 1970 masterpiece finally emerges in full stereo after 55 years. This restored edition of Indagine su un Cittadino al di Sopra di Ogni Sospetto reveals the composer's deliberately "imperfect" instrumentation—out-of-tune piano, mandolin, synthesizer—as radical social commentary. Essential archival triumph.
Revolver
Quartet Records, in collaboration with EMI General Music Publishing, presents a meticulously remastered reissue of Ennio Morricone's iconic poliziesco score for Sergio Sollima's Revolver (1973), a violent Italian-French thriller starring Oliver Reed and Fabio Testi. This definitive release brings one of Morricone's most dynamic crime scores back to pristine sonic quality, showcasing the composer's mastery of the genre that would later influence his acclaimed American gangster film work. The film…
Queimada
Quartet Records, in collaboration with EMI Music Publishing, proudly presents a meticulously remastered reissue of Ennio Morricone's impressive, epic score for Gillo Pontecorvo's ambitious, slavery-condemning 1969 production Queimada (aka Burn!), starring Marlon Brando. This definitive release represents the culmination of decades of restoration efforts, bringing one of Morricone's most politically charged and emotionally powerful scores to audiophile-quality presentation. The film tells the sto…
ACIE E R R
2025 stock Under the new moniker A/N, French producer Apollo Noir delves deeper into his music and casts a strong yet versatile sonic alloy of atmosphere, beat, voice and texture. ACIE E R R (alliteration, French for steel) is a raw, eloquent and fickle stream of consciousness of openness and transparency. Coming from steel-city of Thiers, where his family forged a reputation as unrivaled knife manufacturers, A/N does not hide his deep bond with the age-old metal alloy and its making, which here…
Ansatz
2025 stock Following the aphex-blessed En-To-Pan and the recent ep Hegenrax [OOH-014] Holy Similaun goes further in its intimate and personal musical discourse with Ansatz [attempt / approach] to investigate uncertainty and the mutation of our "safe spaces”.
Extremely dilated fades, intermitted structures, massively warped voices, blasting industrial distortions and gaming sound effects populate the synthetic environments of a not-necessarily dystopian post-something, multifaceted and porous.The…
Neon Night Ride
Where did this imagined soundtrack come from?
Let's lay down the first line of reference: Nicholas Winding Refn. Namely 'Drive', 'Neon Demon' and 'Copenhagen Cowboy'. These movies and TV show not only look amazing but have gorgeously synth heavy soundtracks.
But let's push back a bit further, and the next reference has to be John Carpenter, along with the glut of 80’s video classics like 'Exterminator', 'Cobra', 'Bronx Warriors' / 'The Warriors' and a million Italian Mad Max rip offs.
And why no…
Dream Catalogue Vol.1
Glasgow-based Effective Dreaming—the solo project of Scottish artist and musician Iain Ross—unveils Dream Catalogue Vol. 1, arriving June 21st, 2025 (Summer Solstice) via Swedish experimental label Fluere Tapes.
Issued as a limited run of 50 cassettes, each adorned with hand-worked, corroded copper sheet inserts and labels, Dream Catalogue Vol. 1 feels less like a release and more like an unearthed artefact: weathered, humming, quietly alive. The materials echo the music’s exploration of fragile…
Memoria
This collaboration between Colombian Drone Mafia and Gibrana Cervantes is the beginning and end of a fragile geography, like the magic and mafia of our platanal, a bridge between the Americas. CDM is the new alias of Nyksan, Bogota-born DJ, sound artist and co-founder of TraTraTrax. Here, he joins forces with Mexican composer and violinist Gibrana Cervantes, one of the most outstanding string voices sounding across the most vital electronic and avant-garde music scenes of recent years. Together,…

Aboyer au mauvais arbre
ARBORE is the collaborative project of French-born, Berlin-based artists Diane Barbé and Laure Boer, navigating the wide spectrum of electroacoustics, instrument building and radical improvisation. "Genuinely loose-limbed and exquisitely zonked, Diane Barbé and Laure Boer's ARBORE debut marries electroacoustic sound design to basement psych-folk, where homemade Vietnamese zither, flutes and whistles float around gloopy analog synths like some lost Nate Young plays Folkways record, or the deepest…
Soil Leaf Root
"As a concoction of whirring, electronics-strewn field recordings, this over fifty minute piece is intoxicating in its intimacy, like drifting half asleep through various conversations, rituals, prayers. As a piece which considers the “complex entanglements of migrant stories, memory, identity, otherness”, it feels urgently, cacophonously important, a sonic insight into our shared humanity" — Spenser Tomson In this project, Paul and Masimba capture almost five years of conversation as they stood…
Playing The Beetles
Gryphon Rue returns to Soap Library with Playing the Beetles, a sonic adaptation of a performance of the same name with Ka Baird and Qasim Naqvi at Roulette Intermedium in November 2023.
Through a color-mapping system that matches non-toxic paint on the beetle shells to clothing worn by the performers, the highly experimental piece musically interprets the behavior of live beetles (the bugs, not the band.) Under the watchful eye of a live camera feed connected to software, beetles explore their…
Music to Watch Seeds Grow By 006: Lapalace (Lavander)
Manchester-based producer Lily Mumby, the creative force behind Lapalace, has chosen Lavender as her botanical muse for this sixth instalment. Like the aromatic herb that grows from tiny seeds to fragrant purple stalks, her compositions unfold with a similar patience and elegance. Her synthesisers breathe with a natural rhythm, creating textures that emerge and recede like morning dew on lavender buds waiting to bloom. The standout track ‘new age night’ – a stunning love child of William Basinsk…

An Introduction To Shirley Collins
Few singers of the English folk revival have attempted as much on record as Shirley Collins – an extraordinary combination of fragility and power. “I like music to be fairly straightforward, simply embellished – the performance without histrionics allowing you to think about the song rather than telling you what to think.”
Through an impressive series of experimental recordings Shirley established an extraordinarily sympathetic marriage of traditional songs handed down through generations of rur…
