Sounds of Absence
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 500 copies.* Sounds of Absence collects artistic positions on the notion of absence, shaped by two years of pandemic lockdowns. The compilation is a cooperation project with the research group ARS – art research sound – at the Hochschule für Musik Mainz, led by Peter Kiefer, and curated by Wingel Mendoza and Joshua Weitzel. In 2020, ARS initiated a website to collect sounds of public spaces during lockdown conditions, in order to capture the sound of t…
Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia
Celebrating the Jerry Fielding centenary, Quartet Records, in collaboration with MGM, is proud to present the first-ever LP release of Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974), an iconic masterpiece starring Warren Oates and Isela Vega and one of the composer’s most celebrated collaborations with his usual partner, Sam Peckinpah. The somewhat dark, harsh, cool Mexican flavor and bittersweet colors of Jerry Fielding’s score are the perfect match for this unusual tale of violence, death and reve…
Inghilterra Nuda
*Limited Edition of 300 copies.* Quartet Records, in collaboration with Universal Music Publishing Italia, releases a remastered, expanded CD edition of the original cult score by Piero Piccioni (Colpo Rovente, Il Dio Sotto La Pelle, Camille 2000, The 10th Victim) for Inghilterra Nuda – as originally conceived by the composer.
Directed by Vittorio De Sisti, Inghilterra Nuda was inspired by the same concept as mondo movies, but applied to British culture. It poses the question, “Are these Brits r…
Scorpio (Original MGM Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Celebrating the Jerry Fielding centenary, Quartet Records, in collaboration with MGM, is proud to present the first commercial LP edition of Scorpio, one of the most celebrated collaborations between the composer and Michael Winner.
This CIA thriller starring Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon and Paul Scofield, gave Fielding, a key composer in American 70s cinema, the opportunity to create a haunting Parisian melody, which he then surrounds with his trademark complex motifs, aggressive rhythms, and el…
Bananas
Quartet Records, in collaboration with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, presents the premiere vinyl release of the infectious score by Marvin Hamlisch (The Way We Were, The Spy Who Loved Me, Sophie's Choice) for Woody Allen’s hilarious classic Bananas (1971)
The second film directed by Allen was a crazy comedy about a bumbling New Yorker who is dumped by his activist girlfriend and travels to a tiny Latin American nation where he becomes involved in its latest rebellion. As with his previous film, Take the …
Seconds
Quartet Records, in collaboration with Paramount Pictures, presents the premiere vinyl edition of Jerry Goldsmith’s marvelous score for John Frankenheimer’s sci-fi-horror-drama cult classic Seconds (1966). Seconds starred Rock Hudson – in an astonishing change of pace, as the film campaign ads said – as an unhappy middle-aged banker who agrees to a procedure that will fake his death and give him a completely new look and identity. But it comes with its own price.
Jerry Goldsmith’s fascinating sc…
Cross of Iron
Quartet Records, in collaboration with StudioCanal and Capitol Records, presents the premiere CD reissue of the powerful score by Ernest Gold (Exodus, On The Beach, Judgment At Nuremberg, It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World) for Sam Peckinpah’s anti-war classic Cross Of Iron (1977), starring James Coburn, Maximilian Schell, James Mason, David Warner and Senta Berger.
Being one of Peckinpah’s best and most impressive films, Cross Of Iron has achieved cult-classic status despite its failure at the box…
Profumo Di Donna
*In process of stocking.* Profumo di Donna (aka Scent of a Woman) is one of the most internationally acclaimed Italian films. The film directed by Dino Risi - based on the novel Il Buio e il Miele by Giovanni Arpino - was showcased at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival, where the main interpreter Vittorio Gassman was crowned with the Award for Best Actor. The following year Scent of a Woman found its international consecration with two Academy Award nominations for Best Foreign Film and Best Screenpl…
Amarcord
*In process of stocking* Nino Rota’s soundtrack for Federico Fellini’s milestone and 1974 Oscar-winning film “Amarcord”. Rota’s music is superb in evoking the visions and scents of Fellini’s boyhood in Rimini, resulting in a timeless classic that stands as a symbol of Italian culture and rural charm in the world. The soundtrack is presented for the first time ever a 180gr gatefold double LP, carefully restored and remastered from the original master tapes, featuring 15 tracks previously unreleas…
Sans Mobile Apparent
*In process of stocking.* Ennio Morricone's superb 1971 soundtrack for French crime thriller Sans Mobile Apparent directed by Philippe Labro, widely available for the first time. Released in collaboration with Philippe Labro himself. Features an exclusive interview of Philippe Labro with Jeremy Allen discussing the making of the film, working with the maestro (at only 34 years old), and his amazing career crossing path with Jean Luc Godard, Serge Gainsbourg, and Jean-Pierre Melville. This superb…
Belong To The Wind
For all those who relate "maybe to the wind, because they can feel it, or dirt, because they can touch it. But nothing else." Like Bobby Cornett (aka Shane), we are all trying to find where we belong.
Belong To The Wind marks Forager Records' debut release: A lovingly curated collection of crooning psychedelic folk and soul songs gathered from American 45s of the 1970s. The compilation features 10 songs from 10 different acts, each with an indelible story of love, loss, loneliness, and an unrele…
Patlabor 2 The Movie (Original Soundtrack "P2")
Tip! *2022 stock* From the master Kenji Kawai, composer of soundtracks such as Ghost in the Shell, Avalon, Ring, Ip Man, Seven Swords and too many to list. Complete soundtrack to Mamoru Oshii's 1993 superb political thriller science-fiction mecha anime film Patlabor 2. Outstanding emotion-filled ambient soundscape and percussion mastery, with hints of minimalism and modern classical. One of Kenji Kawai's most experimental...and best!
Darkland
Tip! Maston’s Darkland is a breezy collection of the material from the Tulips sessions that didn’t make it on to the original LP. Originally a digital-only release for those in the know in the autumn of 2018, after re-issuing Tulips in 2020 it made too much sense for Be With to give Darkland a vinyl release.
Like Tulips, Darkland was recorded mostly in Hoorn, in the Netherlands, between 2015-2017 during downtime from Frank’s touring duties with Jacco Gardner’s band. Bits were also done in Los An…
Sound Inventions
*In process of stocking.* The second Be With foray into the archives of revered German library institution Selected Sound is one of our favourites, Sound Inventions from Klaus Weiss Rhythm And Sounds, originally released in 1979.
From the notoriously strong mind of Niagara drummer / library-funk overlord Klaus Weiss, Sound Inventions is loaded with tripped out studio funk-freakery, mad samples and swaggering abstract funk grooves. From dramatic deep disco with dark Italo/Moroder leanings to heav…
Panorama
Tip! With Panorama, Frank Maston pays homage to the classic era of library records and Italian soundtracks of the 70s. A blissed-out, grooving collection of filmic cues, it continues the unique brilliance of Tulips and Darkland. Elegant and easy, subtle and stylish, breezy and beautiful; this is his Maston-piece. Commissioned by legendary label KPM, Panorama cements Maston as a master of modern classics and the most mesmeric of contemporary composers.
In early 2020, Be With suggested to Frank th…
Open Space Motion (Underscores)
They say: "Contemporary synthesizer sounds illustrating wide open space activities, environment and research."We say: Panoramic proto-techno underwater-electro library dynamite.
One of the hardest pulls on the seminal Coloursound, Open Space Motion (Underscores) isn't just regarded as one of the best releases from library-funk overlord Klaus Weiss. It's one of the very best library records ever.
As cult as it gets when it comes to library music, the Klaus Weiss sound was built on top of sometime…
Evil Dead Trap (Original Soundtrack)
*Limited edition of 500 copies.* WRWTFWW Records is terrified to announce the first ever vinyl release for the soundtrack of 1988 J-horror cult movie Evil Dead Trap, available as a super limited edition double-sided picture disc LP. What you are about to hear cannot be unheard. The scariest soundtrack ever released on viny. Fans of horror movies, rejoice, here is the never-released before Evil Dead Trap (Original Soundtrack) by Tomohiko Kira, a gruesome ride of spooky synths and devilish soundsc…
Parisian Dreams
"What you have here, pouring out of your listening devices, is Parisian Dreams. A genre-busting, generation-spanning, cross-pollination of 21st century beatmaking and 1970’s psychedelic composition. The styles are myriad. Running the gamut, between acoustic folky guitar riffs, through fuzzy movie-soundtrack textures, hitting grooves that land somewhere between dub and funky breakbeat jazz. MPC producer Yeti recently found himself in a session with one of his musical heroes, Janko Nivolic. A vete…
Cosmos 2043
A wild, science fiction-themed library LP by French composer Bernard Fèvre. Released in 1977, Fèvre imagines a far future populated by space-age electronics and lush, vivid melody.
*In process of stocking* "Cosmos 2043 (released in 1977) is best known for “Earth Message,” which was sampled in “Got Glint” by The Chemical Brothers. The cover is a rather naïve drawing that I drew myself because I have little talent there. I like the idea of abstraction in my work: “Skeeze” and “Weekee Way” are word…
