Funky Ghost 1975-1987
French multi-instrumentalist Teddy Lasry's story is noteworthy not just in regards to the music he released, but in the ways that he approached the craft of composing and experimenting with sounds and sonics.
Always intrigued with the capabilities of instruments, their groove and their feel, it was very much his family’s influence that helped to fuel these lifelong affections. As a performer in a Parisian cabaret, Teddy’s father Jacques would mingle with giants like Serge Gainsbourg and Charlie …
Roller
* Limited edition on crystal vinyl. 180 gr. Gatefold Cover * Roller was the second record for Goblin, originally released in 1976, just after the successful score of Profondo Rosso, and is one of the very few Goblin records that was not intended to be a soundtrack.

A Fistful of Dollars / Per un Pugno di Dollari
**2021 edition on LP format. On clear yellow vinyl, with gatefold cover.** Year 1964. Almost out of nowhere, the little-known and regarded director Sergio Leone transposes into a western key a film by Akira Kurosawa, and by putting together all the right pieces, adding a bit of intuition, lays down new rules for the 'spaghetti western' genre, giving way to an endless series of imitations."A Fistful of Dollars" would not have the same impact without the inimitable music written by Ennio Morricone…

Beyond The Silvered Pane
Your host for this dungeon is that cheerful mercantile dwarf, Marcelanius the Fair. And fair he is, if you are fair with him. Those who try to cheat him find he swings a mean war hammer. After purchasing an old mirror (which proved to be the entrance to many separate planes of existence), he saw a chance to make some money off current dungeon-delving craze and developed his Looking Glass Dungeon (no cracks about Alice in Wonderland)". Thus in 1978 the adventure "Beyond the silvered pane", a mod…
La Jetee
**Deluxe Edition, 200 copies on clear vinyl, Stoughton Tip-on gatefold cover** "'This is the story of a man, marked by an image from his childhood.' Thus begins, with deceptive simplicity, Chris Marker's La Jetée (1962). The film, by far Marker's bestknown work, synthesizes many of the elusive filmmaker's central preoccupations -- time and memory, power and resistance, the ephemerality and resilience of love -- yet it also undermines the very idea of film. Composed almost entirely of still photo…
