Sortilegio
One of the most mysterious movies of the golden age of Italian cinema, Sortilegio is a visionary horror movie directed by Nardo Bonomi, starring Erna Schurer and the famous Italian director Marco Ferreri as a co-star. The movie also featured Corrado Farina (director of the legendary Baba Yaga) as assistant director. As the influential Italian magazine Nocturno Cinema stated some time ago, the movie had never been distributed and is to be considered definitively lost.Thanks to Four Flies Records’…
King of Keyboard
LP edition of Rizan Said's King of Keyboard, originally released as a CD by Beirut-based Annihaya Records in 2015 (END 011CD). Reissued by Discrepant in collaboration with Annihaya. ''There is no other Syrian dabke musician that has enjoyed the local, regional, national, and international recognition that Rizan Said has, and for that, the world is lucky. Rizan is a musical ambassador from a disappeared Syria, and this is not to be taken lightly. Once upon a time, not too long ago, Syria w…
El Advenimiento Del Castillo Mujer
Discrepant present a vinyl release of Meridian Brothers's El Advenimiento Del Castillo Mujer. Originally released back in 2006 by Colombian label La Distritofonica as a limited CD-only album, El Advenimiento Del Castillo Mujer showcased a rare style of "abstract folk music" inspired on the experiments of some Bogota collectives from the time (2005-2006). Recorded and composed in Copenhagen between 2005 and 2006 by founding and core member Eblis Alvarez (vocals, guitars & electronics), each s…
Chupame El Dedo
Chupame El Dedo, from Bogota, Colombia present their self-titled album. Recorded live in the studio, Chupame El Dedo recreates the live performance by delving deeper in grind-core, speed and black metal clichés whilst marrying a tropical rhythm section made of salsa, cumbia, currulao & reggaeton. Tropical disoriented madness, stylistic dislocation and very fast drums.
Jan Zonder Vrees
The firstborn baby is the soundtrack to the 1984 Flemish cult classic movie 'Jan Zonder Vrees', by infamous composer Alain Pierre. ‘Jan Zonder Vrees' was the first animated feature film, directed by Jef Cassiers and commissioned by the public broadcasting company BRT. It tells the tale of Jan, a simple yet extremely strong farmer boy who has to battle evil whilst fleeing from his native town of Antwerp. Although Cassiers was on a very small budget, his movie is full of references to Old Masters …
The Delian Mode / Blue Veils and Golden Sands
*Red vinyl in gatefold sleeve with poster limited to 500 copies* Delia Derbyshire’s work at the BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop in the 60’s was recognised initially for her realisation of the now iconic Doctor Who Theme which was written for the show by Ron Grainer. More recently though, she has been celebrated for her own compositions and experiments at what was then the cutting edge of electronic music. Here on 7" vinyl for the first time are two of her pieces, one written for a TV documentary in 1…
Mirage
Truly obscure electronic/cosmic LP from the late 70's, Mirage is a rather unknown but now cult album released by Francesco Cabiati back in the 1979. It's a sci-fi cinematic electronic trip for long synthezised srings, melodic flavored sequences. It features some prog tinged arrengements but the general atmopshere tends to be relaxed if not goofy and kitschy (by moments). The self title track is an efficient spacey electronic improv but it could be perceived as a disappointed piece for fans of ce…

Les Soleile De La Vie
Following the international release of “Evening Colours” in 1976, Jacqueline Thibault (Laurence Vanay) continued to compose songs that she recorded on her multi-track Revox. But she had little time for her own music, working day and night at legendary international recording studio, the Château d’Hérouville. Still, Jacqueline managed to bring together the compositions for “Les Soleils de la Vie” (The Suns of Life), with the help of her perpetual musical accomplices—Serge Derrien (guitar, …
Christopher Idylls
Finally available again the near-mythical 1968 Nicholson’s stunning lone album. Upon first glance, one could be forgiven for wondering which is the artist and which is the title of this album. Memphis’ Larry “Gimmer” Nicholson still remains a great unknown today, despite his having orbited the periphery of the city’s music scene since the early ‘60s, playing with artists ranging from Furry Lewis to William Eggleston and influencing a young Chris Bell (Big Star). Fusing classical and folk …
Colpo Rovente
Outstanding!!! Piero Piccioni ‘Colpo Rovente’ is one of the rarest soundtrack albums in the Italian film music history. This soundtrack stands out from the traditional period into the psychedlic era. Soft-spoken and suave cool jazz, along with hallucinogenic go-go sounds appears throughout the film and soundtrack. Dynamic big band tunes are stunningly matched with impossibly beautiful jazz funk scores infused with a touch of bossa nova. If your tastes lie somewhere in the intersection bet…
The Ghost Trade + The EP Collection
Camberwell, in South London, pops up infrequently in pop culture. Perhaps you know it from the Camberwell Carrot, the heroically sized joint smoked in cult movie Withnail & I, or perhaps – if you’re attuned to experimental music – you know of Camberwell Now. The group formed from the ashes of This Heat, the art-noise group whose catalog was reissued on Modern Classics Recordings in early 2016.
Not so much a supersession as a continuation of that group, Camberwell Now featured This Heat’s vocalis…
Feelin' All Right

It was originally released in small quantities with very limited distribution, mainly in Norway. Recorded in the 70’s, combining funk, folk songs, jazz and soul, makes it an unique album that represents the contemporary 70’s jazz scene in Norway. This is the first official licensed re issue of the original alb…
Skene
Elusive Edition of 115 LPs only for the new Matthew Sulliven albu. In one way or another, Matthew Sullivan has had a hand in some of the most engaging sounds released over the past decade, be they noise, ambient, drone and everything in-between. Recording solo material most notably as Earn, Privy Seals and Vague Apology, Sullivan traverses howling transmissions of squalling noise and elegiac drifts of foreboding ambiance. Functioning as a collaborator, Sullivan also records scathing materia…

Piano Piano
Restocked, reduced price. Stunning collection of quiet and soft piano pieces by the legendary German keyboardist Hans-Joachim Roedelius co-founder of seminal krautrock bands as Cluster and Harmonia.Inspired by the monumental work of Eric Satie, the album was originally released in 1991. Roedelius exhibits an unexpected subtlety on the keys which lighten these pieces lovingly and pointedly. It’s hardly surprising that the name of the album is a reference to the term ‘pianissimo’, which means to p…

Gaetano Liguori Collective Orchestra
CD edition, tri-panel digipack. The Collective Orchestra was a visionary, short-living creative music collective led by Gaetano Liguori, who was one of the main protagonists of Italian free jazz since the early 70s. It was an important attempt to put together young musicians from the two main towns in Italy, and its respective leading figures: Giorgio Gaslini in Milan and Mario Schiano in Rome. Previous attempts to set up anything similar were, in fact, either frustrated by rivalries betwe…
