** LP + Poster. Edition of 300 copies ** In the world of theatrical archives, there are the known, the unknown, the forgotten, and the lost. Demetrio Stratos' stage compositions for Teatro dell'Elfo's groundbreaking 1979 production Satyricon - directed by future Oscar winner Gabriele Salvatores - represents one such lost artifact now wondrously returned to life. This radical sonic work, integrating extended vocal techniques, Balinese instruments, and pioneering whale song recordings, stands as t…

2005 release ** ""Rock N’ Roll Exhibition" is a completely new and unique album in the career of Demetrio Stratos, Mauro Pagani and Paolo Tofani and also for the Cramps label: it is a live tribute to the origins of rock’n’roll.""

A devastating cry for Palestine, nearly five decades later, this radical 1977 masterpiece returns to vinyl via Black Sweat Records. Demetrio Stratos, Gaetano Liguori, and Giulio Stocchi created a powerful sonic testament to the 1976 Tall el Zaatar massacre - a devastating blend of free jazz, experimental vocals, and Mediterranean traditions. More than music, it's unflinching historical testimony that remains painfully relevant today.

2009 release ** Featuring: Amy Denio, Cristina Zavalloni, Joan La Barbara, Demetrio Stratos, Sainkho Namchylak, Meredith Monk, Luigi Nono, Cathy Berberian, David Moss, Fátima Miranda, Greetje Bijma, Sabina Meyer, Marcello Abbado, Sidsel Endresen.

Transparent turquoise vinyl / 180 grams, limited edition numbered to 300 copies. Mauro Pagani's first vinyl album, released in 1978, is a masterpiece of sonic cross-cultural contamination. After his experience with PFM, Pagani embraced Mediterranean sounds, mixing progressive rock, ethnic music and psychedelic atmospheres. Almost every of his former bandmates, anyway, plays in this record, together with other great guests such as Area - first of all, their incredible singer Demetrio Stratos - an…

*2023 stock* The fact that this album features not only new material by Picchio dal Pozzo, but also incorporates posthumous parts by legendary Area frontman Demitrio Stratos, should be enough to spur the fans of either or both ensembles into action.

* 500 copies, numbered edition. Clear Splatter Vinyl * Reissue of a 1978 LP out on Cramps Records. Demetrio Stratos's research into the field of phonetic and experimental poetry led to his freeing his voice every naturalistic restraint, restoring its depth and dimension. The result of this can be heard in the two recordings of his compositions "Metrodora" and "Cantare la Voce" where what sounds like an instrument is in fact his voice.

This is easily the most frightening and naked recording by Greek vocalist Demetrio Stratos, scripted by poet Nanni Balestrini and later choreographed by Valeri Magli after his death. The text of Le Milleluna was 100 words, all beginning with the letter "s" and all of which had some sexual allusion or connotation. The show that Stratos performed was completely free of all academic exploration. Instead, he had internalized each of these words for an articulation original to the performance of the …

* 500 copies, 180 gr. Blue vinyl *The lost live album by the late great Demetrio Stratos, Area's vocalist and leader. Recorded back in 1978, this album has been the missing title in the remastered reissue series on Cramps.

180 gr. Red Vinyl. Digitally remastered at 192 khz and 24 bit. From the original master tapes * From the original master tapes, 1st time rpressed on LP. Mere words can’t describe the impact of an album where the only instrument is the voice of Demetrio Stratos (actually, there are few synthesizer inserts played by Paolo Tofani). Originally released in 1976: a unique work where Demetrio Stratos makes any kind of experiments and sounds with his voice, reaching and going over the limit of human cap…

**Red vinyl, numbered edition** Alberto Radius first solo album - Originally released on Numero Uno label, cat. # ZSLN 55153. September, 1972.- and regarded as one of the Italian prog rarest though not particularly representative of the genre, was issued in 1972 when Formula Tre were still active, and was a sort of jam session with important Italian musicians of the time, including Franz Di Cioccio from Premiata Forneria Marconi and Area's Demetrio Stratos and Giulio Capiozzo along with Gianni D…

* 140Gr. Purple vinyl, numbered * Perhaps one of the least well-known, yet most sought-after Demetrio Stratos recordings, his first (and only) single released in 1972 just before joining Area...The tension between Stratos's dense, foreboding voice and orchestral production is unusual, to say the least.

*Yellow Vinyl. Gatefold Cover * Of all of Demetrio Stratos' recordings, this 1978 live date with violinist Lucio Fabbri is easily the most accessible and least adventurous. That said, Recitarcantando is also perhaps the most songlike and beautiful of Stratos' albums and deserves recognition for showcasing the vocalist as a singer of uncommon power and originality. This album does showcase various aspects of the investigations undertaken on his previous studio recordings, including the "Investiga…
