Death Is Not The End present a compilation gathering a cross-section of early gospel choirs and vocal harmony groups recorded between late 1920s and the mid-1950s - a period when spirituals & jubilee traditions merged with blues, jazz and early rhythm and blues, providing the musical routes for the coalescence of the civil rights movement born out of the black church. In the modern world these perennially vital recordings provide a fitting tonic for the near-dystopia we find ourselves living thr…

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…

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…

Of all the artists to fall under the sweeping banner of Kosmische / Krautrock - a movement which has benefited from continuous attention from the reissue market since the 1980’s, Georg Deuter remains among the most unacknowledged and under-appreciated. The reasons remain slightly behind reach - the likely consequence of his association with the New Age movement across the 1970’s and 80’s, the lingering effects of stigmas which were later applied that movement’s efforts, and the reissue ma…

On Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me, Angelo Badalamenti distils the series’ haunted romanticism into something darker and more exposed: smoky torch songs, doomed jazz and glacial themes that move like weather through Laura Palmer’s final days, fusing beauty and dread into a single, unforgettable atmosphere.

Special edition of Goblin’s masterpiece, here released on blue iris coloured vinyl with 30x30cm insert and new liner notes. After the incredible debut of “Profondo Rosso” (Deep Red), the soundtrack of the eponymous 1975 film directed by Dario Argento, no one could ever imagine that shortly afterwards Goblin would be able not only to reach its heights but even further refine what the band already delivered in their first record.  While “Profondo Rosso” had been partly composed by Giorgio Gaslini,…

Huge Tip! Originally released in 2013 for the 40th anniversary of the cult 70’s horror film, only 500 copies of The Wicker Man 40th Anniversary Edition were pressed on black vinyl which have become highly sought after.  One of the maddest soundtracks you'll ever buy – a strange mix of folksy tunes, sound effects, and odd noisy bits – recorded for the equally odd film of the same name! The record is impossible to describe accurately, but it's a really dark one – strangely fragile at some moments,…

Known for his genre-spanning versatility, Goldsmith had already impressed …

Armando Trovajoli was not a western man. By 1967 he had two decades of work behind him - jazz, sophisticated comedies, orchestral scores for Vittorio De Sica. He knew how to make audiences laugh, how to make them cry, how to write for big bands and strings alike. But dust, horses, guns? That was Morricone territory, Bacalov, Nicolai. Yet when Florestano Vancini called him to score his only foray into the genre, Trovajoli responded with something no one expected. I Lunghi Giorni Della Vendetta do…
