Construcao
Construção (Portuguese for 'Construction') is the eighth studio album by Brazilian singer-songwriter Chico Buarque, released in December 1971. It was composed in periods between Buarque's exile in Italy and his return to Brazil. Lyrically, the album is loaded with criticisms of the Brazilian military dictatorship, especially with regard to the censorship imposed by the government at the time. It is widely regarded by music critics as one of the greatest Brazilian albums of all time.
A Question of Silence / Broken Mirrors
Purge.xxx unveils hidden gems of Dutch experimental cinema with the first ever release of Lodewijk de Boer & Martijn Hasebos' synthesiser soundtracks that have remained hidden in the vaults for over four decades.

With a title taking inspiration from the fame of Seychelles’ indigenous beauties (a myth later dismissed by Scattini himself) the film found its prot…
Dramatest 1974
Absolute music composed for keyboards whose sounds have been processed to obtain particular effects, timbres, and soundscapes. That phrase, clinical and precise, barely hints at the strange beauty of Dramatest, a 1974 collaboration between two of Italian library music's most inventive figures: the Florentine jazz pianist Oscar Rocchi (working here under his pseudonym Chiarosi) and the Milanese polymath Fabio Fabor. Originally released on Fonovideo, one of several sublabels operated by Fabor's ow…
Mr. Diabolicus - Mr. Mysterious
Among the countless composers who populated the Italian library music scene of the 1970s, Fabio Fabor remains a figure shrouded in genuine mystery. Born Fabio Borgazzi in Milan in 1920, he pursued classical training at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory before building a parallel career that encompassed opera, symphonic works, chamber music, and popular song. His compositions were interpreted by some of the most beloved voices in Italian music, including Fred Buscaglione, Nilla Pizzi, and Nicola Ar…
Nell'Anno della Luna
A deep mystery surrounds both the film Nell'anno della Luna and its beguiling 1970 soundtrack, a work that hovers somewhere between the elegant swing orchestrations of an earlier era and the more adventurous sonic territories being charted by Italian composers at the close of the 1960s. Even in our current age of instant information and exhaustive online databases, almost nothing is known about the movie itself. What remains is the music: ten tracks of remarkable sophistication and inventiveness…

War Games 95-99
Tip! ‘War Games 95-99’ is the definitive and extended collection of the ultimate teenage midwestern noise band notorious for live shows using a full desktop computer on stage. While there were predecessors to the stage, Flutter was the first mostly computer generated noise to emerge from the harsh noise subculture dominated by pedals in the 90's tape scene. Unapologetically domestic, Flutter blended seemingly wholesome midwest extracurricular activities with a soundtrack of suburban angst and pl…

Side B: Wave Spiral for 5 Rin Gongs - a sidelong, 21-minute centerpiece where pure sine waves create interference patterns, frequency made sculptural. Sound spiraling through space, dissolving boundaries between observer and phenomenon.
A sad song for A.
«The project “a sad song for A.” was born from an insight Stefano Gentile had, driven by his moods and, in particular, a regret he had experienced in the past. It all began almost by chance, one evening, during an informal conversation. Stefano suggested that I narrate what I was experiencing most intensely at that moment: anxiety. After thoroughly analyzing this emotional state, he asked me to translate it into words, to write texts that could give voice to the emotions surrounding it. From the…

Learning
‘Learning’ - Sophie Agnel’s first solo LP, feels like the dark, physical inversion of her excellent ‘Song’ which came out on Relative Pitch earlier this year. Sinking her unique sound into vinyl for the first time, the LP arrives as Agnel recovers from a brain tumour - a shocking discovery that will require Agnel to start again with the piano. It’s a terrifying prospect, but Agnel has been here before, having reorientated herself almost entirely away from her early classical training over the la…
