A Take On "Piece For Guitars" Reworked Sounds From The Original Performance
**20 copies only** A Take on "Piece for Guitars" is an extension of the installation called Pieces for Instruments, which features three filmed sound performances entitled Piece for Drums, Piece for Microphones and Piece for Guitars. In each performance, a musical instrument is dragged through a different natural site. This approach aims to use the ground as an actual "musical score", in order to question how landscape shapes culture and, more specifically, sonic and musical imaginaries. Piece f…
In Another Lant Pt. 2
„The second part of the “In Another Land”-trilogy can be considered as the indispensable conceptual antipode to part I. It's everything that part I is not and vice versa. It's sculptural and it's not pursuing the idea of development, but it's neither static nor repetitive: The mostly short pieces, consisting of heavily treated snippets of recorded (electro-) acoustic instruments are circling around themselves, always aiming to show their core idea to the listener. The thing is the thing is the …
Outspan No 1
Tip! It's hard to imagine how this record -- and it's mate, Outspan No 2 -- managed to remain more or less out of circulation from the CD era onward. Outspan No 1 is nothing less than an ideal distillation of the broad approach to sound creation utilized by the three-ring circus that is Brötzmann, Van Hove, and Bennink, here with the added bonus of Mangelsdorff. Two short numbers, two long, too perfect.
Anticlockwise
"The edges of Schlippenbach’s trio/quartet music have gradually feathered over the past dozen years, a process benchmarked by “Anticlockwise”. Evan Parker’s careening tenor prompts a dramatic sweep from the group that echoes Coltrane’s last period, as on Ore; his multiphonic-oriented soprano style elicits a more spiky rapport. The exceptional American bassist Alan Silva makes an intriguing debut with the quartet, his incisive phrasing and nuance-filled arco technique serving as a lynchpin betwee…

Tazartes Transports
2015 repress. Remastered CD edition of Tazartès' Transports, autodidact and outsider composer Ghédalia Tazartès' 1980 second LP. This album probably represents the most original example of the artist's poetical and personal approach to sound organization. The tracks for Tazartès' Transports, recorded in 1977 at Tazartès' own studio in Paris, are blends of stream-of-consciousness rippling electro rhythms, outer-national singing styles, collaged field recordings, tape loops, and chants. The …

Beat Vol. 1 - Lounge At Cinevox

Beat Vol. 2 - Lounge At Cinevox
*2022 stock* "After testing the waters with the solid but unexceptional Lounge at Cinevox: Beat, Vol. 1, Cinevox upped the ante with this more interesting second volume. Lounge at Cinevox: Beat, Vol. 2 has the edge on its predecessor because it boasts a more adventurous set of selections. This combination of factors is apparent from the first cut, a wild slab of psychedelic funk entitled "4 Mosche Di Velluto Grigio (Titoli)": After leaping out the speakers with a jazzy drum intro, this cut then …
Anche Se Volessi Lavorare, Che Faccio?
"Released in 1972 on the Cinevox record label, Morricone’s score is in a word classic. It contains every musical trademark that we associate with the Maestro, quirky and jaunty backgrounds, romantic and poignant melodies, infectious and haunting musical interludes and emotive and heartrending passages that just melt the listener. The CD re-issue was also on Cinevox, and the company released it in the November of 2003, it contains a little more music than the LP recording in fact there are four …
Schock (Transfert-Suspence-Hypnos)
*2022 stock* Back in '76 or so, Mario Bava wanted in on some of Argento's azione in the film music department. For his movies, Dario had enlisted some homegrown twentysomethings fresh from sessions in England as an outfit alternately called Oliver and Cherry Five. The quartet, rechristened Goblin, had cranked up their amplifiers to score Dario's two very popular films, the bloody Profondo Rosso and the supernaturally-inclined Suspiria. Bava wanted the same kind of sonorous edge for his next fora…
Il Giocattolo
In 1979, Cinevox released an LP containing the soundtrack of "Il giocattolo" , composed by Ennio Morricone for Giuliano Montaldo's film of the same name. For years, the original masters of the recording session were thought to be lost. It was only in 2007 that they were rediscovered in perfect condition. This is the reason why Cinevox decided to make this new Cd edition. The original master allowed to correct some small imperfections contained in the LP. As a bonus track, five previously unrelea…

Edda Dell'Orso lends her haunting, wordless …
Discoteca Sudamericana
Les Chakachas 'Disco Sudamericana' has been released by CBS Sugar in 1974 and when originally came out did not receive the attention it deserved. At least not the same of the previous album, a club classic with dancefloor bangers as 'Stories' and 'The Party'. But if we take a deeper look at the album, 'Disco Sudamericana' is much richer in terms of catchy tracks and killer grooves. 'Supe Cat', 'Liza & Brooks' or 'Selling Mango' are just some of the peaks here. It is then amazing to discover tha…
Live at Total Meeting
*2023 stock* "Constantly changing and challenging, this extended three-part sequence by four of Europe’s most accomplished improvisers ebbs and flows enough to create a perfectly framed soundscape, but leaves enough ellipses for individual expression. Recorded at the Total Meeting in Tours, the almost 52 minutes of music were put together with no pre-conceptions. But as the interaction evolved, the players found themselves melding and separating their extended and expected narratives into sponta…

Now with "Dunno" we have a pure computer music record where digital psychedelia meets brutal pulasr synthesis trains …
