Catherine Cherie
**Deluxe edition, includes poster and sticker** "Catherine Cherie is a Spanish/German coproduction flick from 1982. Typical 1980's b-movie stuff but with super nice music by Austrian cult musician Gerhard Heinz. Catherine Cherie soundtrack is totally flashing us at Private Records at the moment because when dubbing the master tapes a lot unknown songs showed up. All in all we come about 17 songs including 2-3 bonus songs. Many songs are very long for a soundtrack production and ranging between 3…

Permissive Polyphonics
"As if the title doesn't give it away, Permissive Polyphonics finds Enoch Light, the king of studio kings, attempting to make it in the groovy, quadraphonic age. Featuring the gassy Puppet Man, a futuristic rendition of Sergio Mendes Mas Que Nada – with bass flute courtesy of veteran Don Ashworth - and Pass and I Call You with Dick Hyman stunny organ and Vinnie Bell fuzzy guitar, this album is an extraordinary example of easy listening at the turn of the revolutionary flower power era.

Un Beau Monstre
Greek born composer and conductor George Garaventz really complies with any expectations on his 1970 album for the French movie "Un beau monstre“ (A beautiful monster). This is a rather atmospheric and moody effort and except for the opening tunes of both sides this is entirely instrumental despite a few wordless female choirs adding an even deeper atmosphere to the compositions. The luscious arrangements and insistent melodies truly drag one into a colourful world of their own. Pop, psychedelic…
Rains In The Tropics
Gene Rains is a hot tip within the tiki scene. His works are not as known as those of Martin Denny or Les Baxters, but musically they play in the same league. Rains colourful compositions write their own story. Once the record starts playing, you'll be taken on a orchestral journey through polynesian isles, treasures in the jungle, old stone gods and also take a short side trip with songs like "Chines Nights" or "Bangkok Cock Fight".
Paradise Found Vol. 1: Rare Exotic Sounds
Born from the unfulfilled desires of a whole generation for a peaceful, yet adventurous life in a mystifying environment, a new pop art style emerged in the 1950s combining elements of different cultures from the Pacific area. Part of this movement became a smooth, yet exciting music with a strongly picturesque approach labeled as “exotica”. The compilation at hand “Paradise Found - Rare Exotic Sounds Vol. 1” captures the entire spectrum of moods and directions this music took at the pinnacle ph…

Island Visions
2020 marks 10 years since "Ocean Trippin’", the first Seahawks release, and "Island Visions" is the perfect distillation of the sounds, sights, textures and moods that Jon Tye and Pete Fowler have been exploring over the last decade. Sunrise to sunset condensed to two sides of an LP. The normal rules of space and time don’t apply here. From the grooves of Brian Bennett to the moog vibrations of Mike Vickers, the lush textures of Les Baxter to the experimental sounds of Delia Derbyshire and David…
Tea With Holger
Smith & Mudd were invited to contribute to KPM’s “Album Shorts” project. The results are predictably wonderful. In classic library record sleeve style, these tracks are collectively described as “Balearic themes including breezy soul, sun-dappled melodies, warm pianos and sweeping strings”. You want to hear this, right?
