Smog

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…

Lebur - Lebur Kaphungaan
The Swallows were one of Singapore's standout bands of the 1960s, rising from the explosive Pop Yeh-Yeh movement, the regional response to the global beat-band wave, with strong garage-rock roots. Fusing surf rock, early Beatles-inspired pop, and gritty, fuzz-laden guitars with a distinctly local sensibility, they became youth icons of the era. Defined by sharp suits, infectious melodies, and a rebellious spark, The Swallows captured the restless energy of post-independence Singapore, securing t…

Gungala La Pantera Nuda
Orange Vinyl. A hidden gem that earns its name. The original Cinevox pressing of this 1968 soundtrack existed in such a limited edition that few collectors ever held a copy - until now. Ruggero Deodato - then still years away from the notoriety of Cannibal Holocaust - directed Gungala La Pantera Nuda, the second entry in the Italian jungle-girl series starring Kirsten Svanholm, better known as Kitty Swan, a Danish model and acrobat briefly claimed by the Italian B-movie circuit of the late Sixti…

La Cuccagna
On La cuccagna, Ennio Morricone sketches early‑60s Italian life in miniature: light, bittersweet themes, small‑combo colours and gently ironic swings that mirror a young woman’s fragile hopes inside a consumerist daydream starting to fray.
La ragazza e il Generale
In La ragazza e il generale, Ennio Morricone threads anti‑war irony through bittersweet melodies and marching figures, mixing folk‑tinged themes, choral snatches and tense orchestration into a score where tenderness and absurdity share the same battlefield.
Thrilling
In Thrilling, Ennio Morricone’s widescreen sense of drama condenses into a tightly wound suite of themes: tense strings, ghostly choirs and razor‑edged rhythm figures that turn suspense into something almost voluptuously atmospheric.
