De Fabriek
*200 copies limited edition* "Sometimes a beautiful score is handed to you on a silver platter, as was the case with De Fabriek (English: The Factory), a tv show that ran from 1981 to 1982 in the Netherlands. Back then I was just a small child and did not know much about the series, but, if I remember correctly, I was told at the time that the music was pretty good. The music was composed by Ruud Bos, who has written a lot of music for Dutch media in the ‘70s and ‘80s. If you are Dutch and have …

Teorema
* 180gr clear transparent vinyl * Teorema is a film directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, – and about half of the soundtrack was written by Ennio Morricone, in a mixture of dark, edgey themes, and some more groovy tunes with a great late 60s Italy feel – an early moment of genius for the maestro, augmented by some Mozart numbers that further complicate the soundtrack! Publicly presented for the first time in September 1968 at the International Film Festival in Venice; it immediately shocked its viewe…
La Stagione dei Sensi
* 180gr clear transparent vinyl * "La stagione dei sensi" (also known as "Season of the senses") is a 1969 film directed by Massimo Franciosa, perfect son its time: a pop-coloured cauldron, - whose screenplay had also been written by Dario Argento - which mixes mystery, sensuality, eroticism and morbid atmospheres in an exotic and fascinating context, inside of a castle on an island in the middle of the sea. Ennio Morricone's soundtrack is very varied and, in some ways, atypical; in fact, there…
Vergogna Schifosi
* Ltd. Ed. Clear transparent vinyl * A great little soundtrack from Ennio Morricone with an overall dreamy feel to the best numbers on the set!

First released in 1987, the songs recorded for "Dreams For Sax" are a beautiful melange of easy-listening electronic and jazzy vibes, from mellow tunes such as "Dawning" and "First Class…

HITS has become a radio creation that retraces this experience, draws a portrait of contemporary sub…

As the development of rock in other countries during its first two decades comes increasingly into focus, such cultural imperiali…
