Serenade
*100 copies limited release* The twelve jagged audio collages found on Colin Andrew Sheffield's "Serenade" shift from blurry abstractions to choppy sound art to mournful plundered passages, always with the singular stylistic approach the composer has developed over the last 25+ years of activity. As the follow-up to his previous full-length release, the critically acclaimed "Images" (2023), "Serenade" picks up where that album left off, although with an expanded sonic palette of funk, soul, jazz…
String Figures
String Figures, Felicity Mangan’s debut solo LP on Elevator Bath, blends tactile drones, electronic tones, and wetland field recordings into inventive, emotionally rich compositions.

Finally, His First Album
Tip! At the tender age of twenty-five, while he was working part-time at an Italian restaurant in Tokyo’s Kamata district, Kazuki Tomokawa released his debut record, fittingly titled Finally, His First Album. While he had already penned hundreds of songs, including his first single “Try Saying You’re Alive!,” written on a long train ride past fields and rice paddies, it was this recording that introduced Japan to one of its most unique musicians of the postwar era. Each track, as record label …
Eight Lost Tracks
In the landscape of early electronic music, few projects operated with the conceptual rigor and interdisciplinary ambition of Monoton. Founded in 1979 by hypermedia pioneer Konrad Becker, this Vienna-based collective emerged not as a band in any conventional sense but as an ongoing investigation into what they termed "bionic psycho-active automat music"—compositions derived from mathematical structures and natural constants rather than traditional melodic intuition.
Eight Lost Tracks documents M…
Ljus Från Afrika
In 1976, Swedish progressive folk-rock band Kebnekaise released their most audacious statement: Ljus från Afrika (Light from Africa), an album that traded their familiar Nordic melodies for an entirely African repertoire. What could have been cultural appropriation instead became something more nuanced—a document of genuine musical exchange that emerged from years of collaboration and friendship. The album's genesis lies in the band's relationship with Hassan Bah, a percussionist from Guinea-Con…

La Califfa
Limited edition on crystal clear vinyl. A really moody little record from Ennio Morricone – spare, subtle, and extremely beautiful – touched with notes of sadness and remorse, but also handled with a strong spirit of redemption, “La Califfa" (1970) is a rare example, probably very rare, in which the director and author of the book on which the film is inspired coincide; we're talking about Antonio Bevilacqua, who won the Nastro D'Argento prize as Best New Director with this film.

Le Foto Proibite Di Una Signora Per Bene
One of the greatest soundtracks ever from the legendary Ennio Morricone – a real standard-setting record that's one of the top choices we go to again and again to illustrate the genius of his music! The score is a fantastic mix of the two best sides of Morricone's work – the kind of light, lilting melodies that are schooled in bossa, but turned loose on their own devices – and the darker, more atonal passages that would come to play more strongly during the 70s. The light wins over the darkness …
