Woman's Colours
One of the most iconic Italian library music albums ever, Woman’s Colours by the Giancarlo Barigozzi Group (with Sergio Farina and Oscar Rocchi) emerged from Milan’s vibrant studio scene. Originally released in 1974 under the supervision of Fabio Fabor, it’s a refined concept work blending jazz-funk, jazz-rock, bossa nova and exotica, featuring Wurlitzer, Fender Rhodes, fuzz guitars and expressive flutes, balancing groove and elegance. Over time it has attained cult status, now regarded as a cor…
Costa Sud
Five years after their radiant debut Ufo Bar, Italian cinematic funksters Banda Maje are back with Costa Sud to take us deeper into their land of ‘Salifornia’—a Southern province of sun-drenched coastlines and decaying buildings where dreams of exotic escapism sprout and bloom.
Once again, behind the eight tracks in the album—and behind the wheel of the fiery red Alfasud on the cover—is composer and keyboardist Peppe Maiellano. He has meticulously tailored each piece to his virtuoso partners in …
Collected Works and War of the Martian Ghosts
On Collected Works and War of the Martian Ghosts, Charles Joseph Smith steps out of Chicago legend and into focus, weaving 30 years of church-forged piano, bedroom electronics and sci‑fi opera fragments into a fiercely personal cosmology of sound.
From Ear To Ear
From the streets of Brooklyn comes La Fantástica, a brash, big‑band Latin orchestra whose debut on Joe Bataan’s Ghetto Records produced an underground salsa gem laced with unexpected psychedelic soul. Originally released in 1971, From Ear To Ear pairs hard‑driving Latin rhythms with the beguiling, English‑language slow‑burn of “Latin Blues,” a track that blurs salsa, soul, and psych textures.
Ghetto Records was Joe Bataan’s bold bid for independence — a label born from frustration with an indust…
Change Up The Groove
Dive into the vibrant soundscape of the 1970s with “Change Up the Groove”, a hidden gem from Roy Ayers Ubiquity's early years on Polygram. Often overlooked compared to his more famous records, this work overflows with soul and is a true masterclass in fusing jazz and funk, perfectly capturing Ayers' evolution as he connected his jazz roots with the sharp, driving rhythms of 1970s funk. From the very first track, Ayers' signature vibraphone shines brightly, bringing emotion and rhythm. The album …
Heavy Soul Dance Party
On Heavy Soul Dance Party, Saint Tropez Orchestra boil their library‑funk fantasies down to pure floor business: 11 cuts of raw, four‑track psych‑soul and break-heavy grooves that sound like they’ve been beamed straight from a 1972 basement to your local sound system.
Thèmes et Atmosphères Volume Two
On Thèmes et Atmosphères Volume Two, Saint Tropez Orchestra turbo‑charges its fake‑soundtrack brief into a sweat‑slicked library‑funk fantasia: breaks, bass and Hammond‑driven strut custom‑built for crate‑diggers, b‑boys and imaginary 1970s spy reels.
The Singles Collection (1975 - 1979)
White vinyl edition. Gatefold cover with extensive liner notes. A prog band that topped the Italian singles chart. A horror soundtrack that sold over a million copies and sat in the charts for a full year. A group of Roman session musicians who, almost by accident, invented a new language for cinema. Goblin's story is full of contradictions, and the 7-inch single - that most concise, most commercial of formats - turns out to be the sharpest lens through which to view them all.
The Singles Collec…
Amore Libero = Free Love
Pearly light blue vinyl edition. 30x30cm insert with extensive liner notes. An origin story, pressed in wax. Before Profondo Rosso. Before Suspiria. Before the name Goblin became synonymous with the sound of Italian horror cinema. There was this.
Amore Libero - Free Love is the first film score ever composed by Fabio Frizzi - written in 1974 when he was just twenty-three, for Pier Ludovico Pavoni's sun-drenched erotic drama of the same name, shot entirely on location in the Seychelles. The film …

Colori
Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and EMI General Music, presents a reissue of Ennio Morricone’s iconic album Colori, celebrating its 55th anniversary.

He remixed some cues and re-recorded …

The Valley Of The Forgotten Secrets
LP. Limited edition. Black vinyl. RPG module booklet with map. The first HDK cassette sold two copies. Possibly three. Then, in the summer of 2017, something called Kobold knocked on the door of this Milanese DIY collective with The Cave of the Lost Talisman, and the whole thing changed. The tape had a concept: every track corresponded to a location on an actual dungeon map, the music scored a playable D&D adventure module, and the listener could follow plot and music simultaneously through the …
Non C'è Due Senza Quattro

Micalizzi delivers a vibrant and rhythm-driven score, infused with warm Latin influences, breezy melodies, and an unmistakable sense of lightness. The result is a richly entertaining listening experience that perfectly mirrors the film’s humor, energy, and escapi…
Drammi E Speranze
Originally released in 1976 on Piero Umiliani’s own Sound Work Shop imprint, Drammi e Speranze -issued under the pseudonym Rovi - stands as a refined example of his late-period library work. Performed by a compact string ensemble and subtly augmented by piano, Hammond organ, Eminent organ, and Rhodes, the album unfolds through a series of classically-informed compositions where melody takes center stage. Each piece is concise, evocative, and purpose-built - reflecting the functional yet highly e…
