John Cage Anniversary 1912-2012, The Number Pieces
Some of the most mysterious and meditative pieces by the legendary John Cage’s (1912-1992) performed by The Barton Workshop, an Amsterdam-based ensemble founded by the legendary American composer-trombonist James Fulkerson. Number Pieces, fortyeight in all, belong to the final six years of his life. They are so called because their titles, plus the actual construction of each composition, are based on numbers. They were created with the aid of software designed by Andrew Culver who had worked w…

The Holy Mountain
2016 Restock. Double LP version. Pressed on 140-gram vinyl. Unanimously considered amongst fans of all strains of alternative pop culture the flamboyant cinematic masterpiece known as Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Holy Mountain can proudly claim, amongst all its other accolades, one of fantastique cinema’s greatest red herrings of all time.

Yellow Dust
Bruce Ditmas is a unique, heavy musician from one of those special tightknit communities that tried (and almost succeeded) to change the face of progressive pop music and jazz via musical technology. Raised in Miami (an unknown incubator for future synthesists), Ditmas carved the image of a teen prodigy playing jazz drums at the most exclusive Miami Beach hotels. After being whisked off to New York by none other than July Garland he became immersed in free music, recording compositions by …

Analogie Van De Dageraad
Taller than most members of The White Sinterklaas Club or Boyd Rice, DSR Lines (or David Edren’s) stack of analogue synth beauty is finally towering over the dwarfs that roam the abandoned Smurf villages right next to Synth Niklaas! It surely is a pleasure to see him play beyond Belgium: a die-hard, and for a very long time one of the country’s best kept secrets in electronic music. Slowly expanding from throbbing analogue dreamworlds to Battiato-style joy, this record is a reissue of a c…

silver apples
Restocked!! Formed in 1967 as a psychedelic electronic duo featuring Dan Taylor on drums and Simeon on a homemade synthesizer consisting of 12 oscillators (and an assortment of sound filters, telegraph keys, radio parts, lab gear and a variety of second hand electronic junk), Silver Apples quickly gained a reputation as New York's leading underground musical expression. Their pulsating rhythmic beats with the use of electronics laid the groundwork for what would become 'Krautrock' Silver Apples …
Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore
2016 edition; originally released in 2012. Edition of 500. The video installation Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (1999) is one of the best-known and -loved works by Turner Prize-winning, London-based artist and Northern English emigre Mark Leckey. It's a hugely influential piece, and the soundtrack itself has been sampled endlessly, most notably by Jamie xx on "All Under One Roof Raving" (2014). A phantasmic and transcendent collage of meticulously sourced and rearranged footage and sound samples s…
The Drain
For the last decade, Belgian guitarist Bram Devens has been releasing solo recordings under the name Ignatz. A couple of cassettes have come out in the States, but most of his releases have been elusive imports. Thus, we have taken it upon ourselves to do a public service and release a domestic version of an LP that will appear on the (K-RAAK-K) label in Belgium. This must be something like the sixth or seventh studio album Ignatz has cut, and it's a remarkably solid slab of mysto-folk/blues inv…

Vivere A Tokyo: Citta' Del Paradiso
Sensational and almost impossible to find in its original edition Original Soundtrack for the documentary composed by Perigeo's bassist Giovanni Tommaso ("Living in Tokyo: City of Heaven"), very active and prolific in writing Library music during the '70s. This extraordinary Score was composed to be the soundtrack for a documentary focused on Tokyo city and his inhabitants, where Giovanni Tommaso added some typical elements of melodic/harmonic Japanese music and meltied them with a kind o…
Popsound n.1
From the same cult label of "Underground Mood", "Paese Sotto Inchiesta" by Peymont/Braen and "Scienza E Tecnologia" by Raskovich, here's the highly-collectible "Popsound n.1", originally released on Flirt records in 1971.

Un Uomo Dalla Pelle Dura
Crazy rare in demand soundtrack LP originally released on the highly sought-after promotional label "Pegaso" Edizioni Musicali. Music by Maestro Carlo Pes here, the "C" guitarist from the infamous quartet I Marc 4 which also probably plays on this session. The amazing jazz-funk track "Tough Guy" is the main theme of the record and it's delivered in 3 different versions. Crazy tunes like the tensed dramatic "Morte di un Hippie", the great lounge track "Relaxing in New Mexico" with nice Ham…
I Marc 4
Probably the toughest and most psychedelic Nelson volume by the Marc 4. Killer blend of downtempo funk, atmospherics, and lounge bossa/cocktail. Contains fantastic tracks as "Distorsion-Mind" and "The Trip", heavy Psych with screaming organ, and "Compression", mellow laid back acoustic guitar with the fat raw Drums Break plus other rare and raw tracks with sounds samples and loops. Great sessions!

This record collects all Underground' tracks in 1 LP.…
