Italian Library Breaks
The Modern Sound Quartet represents one of the most treasured, yet least documented, outfits in the history of Italian library music. An exceptional studio band of session musicians with a formidable groove, they released only a handful of albums under this name in the second half of the 1970s. However, their sound indelibly shaped dozens of “invisible” soundtracks, often without ever receiving an official credit on the back sleeve.
Led by pianist and composer Oscar Rocchi, and featuring Andrea …

Vita Matata With African Fiesta
'The creation of the band African Fiesta, founded in 1963 by three well-known musicians, Nicolas Kasanda, Tabu Ley Rochereau and Roger Izeidi, and the contributions of the VITA label, established by Roger Izeidi, occupy an exciting chapter in the history of Congolese popular music. During the mid-1960s, African Fiesta consistently reached the top of the hit parade. The band, which back in the day positioned itself as a competitor to a current called ‘Fiesta Cubana’, breathed new life into Congol…

Steiner - Das Eiserne Kreuz II
*2025 stock* Following the immensely successful and profitable School Girl Report movies producer Wolf C. Hartwig could afford a much bigger international production: Steiner – Cross of Iron, based on a World War II novel, should be directed by none other than Sam Peckinpah. The music was supposed to come from the pen of Peter Thomas. Unfortunately, the two did not get along (interview with Peter Thomas in “Der Filmkomponist Peter Thomas” by Gerd Naumann, 2009 ibidem Verlag). In the end, the Ame…
Derrick & Der Alte (Music From The Original TV-Series 1974-1984)
*2025 stock* Derrick turns 50 this year, but the extremely popular and highly successful German crime series has gone quiet. This is due to chief inspector Horst Tappert's posthumously publicized Nazi past. A comparable TV series, on the other hand, continues to run unwaveringly to this day: Der Alte. What they both have in common, and the subject of this album, is that Peter Thomas was one of their musical creators in their early phase. Peter Thomas and his Sound Orchester composed and played t…
Winnetou Und Sein Freund Old Firehand (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
*2025 stock* Winnetou und sein Freund Old Firehand (aka: Thunder at the Border, Winnetou and Old Firehand) was the finale of Horst Wendlandt's Rialto Film adaptations of Karl May's novels in 1966.

Skull Dream
*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Most dreams are forgotten. They eventually become the cosmic dust of the subconscious, burning brightly for a few minutes before fading back into a buried chamber of mind. But occasionally nocturnal reveries assume a life of their own. They disappear and return, haunt and tantalize, offering unconscious symbols and twisted shapes that help us navigate the labyrinth of our own existence. Dave Harrington’s latest album, Skull Dream, falls into the realm of …

Giuliano Sorgini - Un Urlo Dalle Tenebre
Giuliano Sorgini (among his most famous soundtracks are "The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue," "Zoo folle," "Gli animali … che simpatia") has composed a very macabre, avant-garde, and perfect score to describe the struggle between good and evil.
