Pop-In Devil's Train
Le Très Groove Club present a reissue of Jacky Giordano's Pop-In Devil's Train, originally released on Mantparnasse 2000 in 1976. After launching Le Très Jazz Club, Fuzati (Klub des Loosers) and Modulor are now starting Le Très Groove Club, their new label dedicated to vinyl reissues of groove masterpieces. The first record under this label is a true "holy grail" of French library music: Pop-In Devil's Train. This record is a pure example of the Jacky Giordano style, European jazz-funk with a ki…
Dorothy Ashby
Wax Love present a reissue of Dorothy Ashby's self-titled album,
originally released in 1962. Dorothy Ashby was perhaps not Detroit's
most famous female jazz harpist as that distinction belongs to Alice Coltrane
but she was notably the first and a trailblazer who overcame massive
setbacks throughout her nearly 30-year recording career. Playing on an
instrument not usually associated with jazz, in a male dominated field,
Ashby is a true and amazing original. Originally released in 1962, and…
In the Forest
Edition of 300. Second Editions presents In The Forest by Karl Fousek. Serving as a score for David Hartt's film of the same name about the Habitat Puerto Rico project by Moshe Safdie, In The Forest finds Fousek at his most focused and controlled. These five pieces/chapters move with precision and intent. With subtlety and curiosity. Shrouded in ambiguity. And while Fousek works much more restrained here than on previous releases, by paying attention to every detail, he creates an intriguing wor…
Roller
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. By many considered their best effort, in Roller the band develops their dark, hypnotic and totally instrumental sound, but with an always vivacious and dynamic edge. The record also features new members Agostino Marangolo (from Flea) and Massimo Guarini. Never reissued on vinyl before, great so…
Tre Notti D'Amore
A superb album expressing the grooviest and jazziest side of Piero Piccioni. From Pop-Jazz to Exotica, with a truly percussive rhythm section spiced by charming flute phrases (played by Gino Marinacci) and baritone sax passages (played by Gato Barbieri). A must-have for any serious soundtrack jazz lover. Four Flies launches its new jazz series dedicated to top Italian soundtracks from the 1960’s with this extraordinary work by Piero Piccioni: 3 Notti D'Amore (3 Nights of Love). Originally releas…
La Mano Lunga del Padrino
Edition of 500 copies. After the amazing discovery of the terrific score to Sortilegio, Silvano D'Auria shines once again as one of the best Italian film music composer. Recorded in 1972, but previously unreleased on any format, this soundtrack embodies the essence of the spaghetti sound from the golden age, feat. Edda Dell'Orso and I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni. Dreamy bossanova, baroque-jazz, fuzz guitar, psychedelic flute, wide and panoramic themes sung by the heavenly Edda Dell’Orso, and…
Jodorowsky's Dune Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
2019 Repress. Mondo Edition. Pressed on “Cosmic Plume” vinyl. This is the soundtrack to the story about the greatest film that never was. Jodorowsky’s Dune tells the tale of cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky’s unsuccessful attempt to adapt Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel, Dune, to the big screen. Composer Kurt Stenzel gives life to a retro-futuristic universe as fantastic as Jodorowsky’s own vision for his Dune–a film whose A-list cast would have included Salvador Dalí, Orson Welles, and…
Solar Heat
Sultry Tjader jazz! Vibraphone legend Cal Tjader’s fusion of different genres and styles was an acute influence on Carlos Santana (and Latin rock as a whole). On Solar Heat he stirs in tastes of Exotica, Funk, and of course Latin and Jazz elements on this 1968 set of jazzed-up pop chestnuts and original bossas like the delicious “Fried Bananas.” Pressed at RTI, on colored vinyl
Something Weird
Something weird, and something very cool too – a set that brings
together a whole host of strange and unusual tunes from the glory days
of exploitation cinema! These cuts are all from a time when the b-movie
underground was playing it fast and loose – trying to get more folks
into the theaters with some ultra-sleazy themes – which resulted in
wilder music than you might have heard in movies just a few short years
before! The package is presented by Something Weird – the video company
wh…

Maddalena
180 grams audiophile vinyl pressing. The original soundtrack of the 1971 obscure Erotic Italian-Yugoslav movie ‘Maddalena’, directed by Jerzy Kawalerowicz. Whilst the Jerry Kawalerowicz’ art house effort it was scored for remains little seen, it features two of Morricone’s finest pieces in ‘Come Maddalena’ and ‘Chi Mai’, both of which still find their way into his live concerts, and in the case of ‘Chi Mai’, have been continually reused in TV and film. ‘Come Maddalena’ is a slow building tour de…
Explosion
Fully remastered and licensed reissue, limited to just 350 copies on black wax. This killer Italian library album by Luciano 'Arawak' Simoncini was only ever released on the elusive Orrery Records label, and is now very hard to find. Still very much under the radar, Explosive reveals itself as a swift tangled web of beats for the discerning DJ. Tracks includes the driving cosmic funk Hardware with sharp hip-hop breaks and spaced-out abstract synth keys. Kangoroo Court is an even better alternati…
Zerzura
Original soundtrack recording to the film Zerzura, the first ever
Saharan acid Western, telling the story of a nomad’s search for a magic
city of gold. Evoking the desert journey with free form guitar
improvisations, the soundtrack is a meditation on the mysteries of the
Sahara. Composed by writer and actor Ahmoudou Madassane, the
instrumental score takes the familiar Tuareg guitar tradition into new
directions, transforming desert blues into ambient soundscapes.
Recorded in studio while w…

Ikarie XB-1
With this previously unreleased 1963 score for Jindlich Polák's Ikarie XB-1, Finders Keepers present an "elusive" musical artifact by Zdeněk Liska, the label's third soundtrack by the composer. Fettered by the hampers of communism, this lifelong resident of Czechoslovakia would never quite find his seat at the same table as the likes of John Barry, Ennio Morricone, Michael Nyman, and Stanley Myers. But having waited patiently behind the borders of the wider landscapes of international cinema, Li…
Percussions Pour La Danse
Percussions Pour La Danse was a collaboration between North American
born jazz & contemporary-dance instructor Tony Kenneybrew and
French musician Jean-Pierre Boistel. Tony, a Washington native who had
studied, taught and danced professionally since the age of 12, found
himself in France in the late 80’s. It’s here that he linked up with
like-minded musician Jean-Pierre; who had recently returned from a
6-month trip to West Africa. A trip that helped refine his craft that
begun in the ear…

Unusual Sounds
Double LP version. "In the heyday of low-budget television and scrappy genre filmmaking, producers who needed a soundtrack for their commercial entertainments could reach for a selection of library music: LPs of stock recordings whose contents fit any mood required. Though at the time, the use of such records was mostly a cost-cutting maneuver for productions that couldn't afford to hire their own composer, the industry soon took on its own life: library publishers became major financial success…
