Who's Gonna Buy?
Who’s Gonna Buy? by The Lemon Dips is a shadow‑streaked 1969 relic of UK library psych, where fuzz garage, freakbeat hooks and eerie cues for film and TV collide into a strangely compelling, collector‑beloved ghost of the De Wolfe catalog.
Poco zucchero
On Poco zucchero, Faust'O sharpens Italian songwriting with new‑wave edge, threading synth‑driven melancholy through eight compact tales of absence and longing, anchored by "Oh! Oh! Oh!", the 1979 Festivalbar hit that made his name stick.
La Luce dell'Alba
La Luce dell’Alba is the new LP by Jolly Mare, conceived as an imaginary meeting with Piero Umiliani (on the centenary of his birth) and made possible by access to the original multitrack tapes provided by the Maestro’s family.

An ambitious, visionary project that renews Umiliani’s sonic legacy through Jolly M…

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 …

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 …
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…

Flowers
On Flowers, Zuni (Benito Simoncini) moves from lean, guitar‑driven funk‑rock into more exploratory terrain, trading bluesy riffs for bass‑and‑synth experiments and spacey percussion pieces that gently unravel the classic Italian library mood.
