Phosphorescent Dreams
CD version. Available for the first time outside Japan, and on LP and CD, Phosphorescent Dreams is another epic album of symphonic schizophrenic avant-rock from Univers Zero, originally released in 2014 -- only on CD -- on the Japanese label Arcàngelo. Phosphorescent Dreams presents at the same time, in the same track, even on a single moment, the complex musical schemes and ways of Univers Zero, ranging from maximalism to minimalism, classical avant-garde with a 2020 vibe in a constant flux. In…

Live 1974
The problem with Harmonia is that words simply don't do the band justice. A super-group made up of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius (of Cluster) and Michael Rother (of Neu!) they re-defined not only the Krautrock genre but also electronic music in general with a mere two full-length albums ('Musik von Harmonia' and 'Deluxe') so saying that they are an important act, especially on the pages of this particular website just doesn't do them justice. With a flawless blend of electronic and e…
Seven
2020 stock. 2017 release. Corbett Vs. Dempsey present a reissue of Suns Of Arqa's Revenge Of The Mozabites, originally released on Rocksteady Records in 1980. One of the key ensembles in the history of what is now referred to as world music, Suns Of Arqa began in 1979 with Revenge Of The Mozabites, the brainchild of Michael Wadada. With a ground base of dub -- in both aesthetic and method -- made palpable by master dub rhythm section of Style Scott on drums and Lizard Logan on bass, and produced…

Exile
A Charalambides album is always an event in our book, and this new one on Kranky is superb stuff, arguably taking their fizzy, fuzzy psychedelic pop and drone-folk sound to a whole new level. It's mad to think that Tom and Christina Carter have been making music together for 20 years now, but it shows in the coherence of Exile, their first LP since 2007's Likeness. It begins cautiously, with the uber-minimal twanger 'Autumn Leaves', like Richard Chartier scoring a spaghetti western, but things o…
Rise, Follow
* Edition of 200 * A composition for two bass Renaissance flutes. Performed by Mara Winter and Johanna Bartz. Rise, follow is a dialogue of long tones played by two bass Renaissance flutes, featuring subtle but persistent changes over the duration of one hour. It is performed in one sitting without interruption. The composition adopts the principle of instrumental ‘consort-style’ playing in Europe during the 16th century: a family of similarly pitched and constructed instruments performing polyp…
Joan of Arc
**Edition of 200** Joan Of Arc is a project conceived by Eric Schmid and Sean McCann, running in line with St. Francis and St. Paul. This series of CD and pamphlets, writings bounded together with unbounded audio elements. Schmid and McCann roped in professional vocalist Christina Stanley to sing the last piece, which is a tip to Ulises Carrión's "Hamlet, For Two Voices", pulled from Friedrich Schiller's Maid Of Orleans (1801). Matthew Sullivan dusted off his pain tongs and sent over some sou…
Andrea Doria-74
* Edition of 300 * Quartet Records and Gruppo Sugar present the premiere CD release of this much-requested score by Riz Ortolani (Fantasma d’amore, Valentina, Mondo Cane, Woman Times Seven) in a complete presentation. Italian writer/director Bruno Vailati helmed an expedition in 1968 to film the wreckage of the Andrea Doria, a legendary Italian ship that sank near Nantucket (the number in the title refers to how deep the ship had sunk). The film is a rare treat to behold, one of the first diver …
Omicidio per Vocazione
Digitmovies release on CD Stefano Torossi's complete original soundtrack for the film Omicidio per Vocazione ("Deadly Inheritance", "L'assassino ha le Mani Pulite"). Stefano Torossi composed a lounge-style score where the noir side of the story is contrasted with a danceable shake. There are also plenty of romantic themes as well as an atmosphere of suspense typical of giallo films. Originally C.A.M. had released eight musical selections on a promotional LP paired with the OST from the film (E' …
Spasmo
Beat Records reissue the soundtrack for Spasmo on CD, the thriller film directed in 1974 by Umberto Lenzi and starring Suzy Kendall, Robert Hoffman, Ivan Rassimov, Guido Alberti, Adolfo Lastretti, and Franco Silva. For a story between thriller and mystery, Ennio Morricone has composed a soundtrack based on two recurring tonal themes, a pop ballad for choir and orchestra and a requiem that alternate with hallucinatory atmospheres between the experimental and psychedelic. For this reissue Beat Rec…

Beat Records presents the definitive edition of Ennio Morricone's wonderful score for Lucio Fulci's Una Lucertola Con La Pelle Di Donna (1971). One of the most valuable soundtracks composed during a period of great artistic fertility, it was created by the popular Italian composer for this morbid thriller by one of the greatest Italian directors ever, appreciated and recognized throughout the world. Long out-of-print, this double-CD edition offers around 90 minutes of music from the maestro's mo…

"CD repress of the original Ain Soph debut album! A must for all researchers and collectors of early exoteric dark industrial…""Ain Soph are a legendary group - or rather an entity - that over the years has managed to win a small but select following, reaching a true cult status. Formed in the early '80s in Rome, they started their activity by publishing a series of tapes not intended for publication but intended as real "magic" rituals. These were sound experiments inspired by magic texts, in p…

Moon Gas
There is a distinct possibility that this is the greatest record ever recorded before 1968. Space age bachelor pad music meets concrete music. 1963 was the recording date ! Unbelievable. Strange synths, oscillators and custom made electric guitars with help of the lowrey organ. No words can really describe this record. The jazz genre spawned a couple of quite colorful subspecies that were part of important pop cultural movements to let the ordinary man escape from the daily grind. Two…
Heart Food
Judee Sill is one of folk's more interesting and lesser-known stories. Because of her troubled family history she was looking for an escape of reality. After surviving a heroin addiction and a brief stint as a bank robber, Sill turned her rather intense passions to music. She released two albums and partially completed a third album before her death in 1979. Sill's music was complex, elegantly crafted and yet completely devoid of pretension or overwrought melodrama. Unfairly lumped in with othe…
