Finally the first official vinyl reissue of the original Trovajoli soundtrack. Originally  dated 1968 this is possibly one of the greatest Italian cult “road” movie of all times ! Composed by Maestro Armando Trovajoli and featuring Alessandro Alessandroni Cantori Moderni, this is a glorious mix of visionary epic sounds for a thrilling trip through exotic Africa. The plot of this film was in fact located in Angola, then a Portuguese colony. So, by poetic license, the music is heavily influenced b…

Big Tip! The story of The Diamonds Four has the kind of archival complexity that serious collectors live for. Mario Molino - classical guitarist, jazz musician, and one of the more versatile and elusive figures in Italian library music - first released this session on the obscure B.M.P. imprint in the early 1970s, in a pressing so limited it barely registered. It later surfaced again on the Music Scene label under a different title, with different track names, credited to the pseudonym Luigi Fer…

The venerable Sub Rosa returns with one of their most curious and revelatory releases to date: the first ever release of Alain Pierre’s visionary soundtrack for Thierry Zeno’s 1974, controversial and widely banned avant-garde film “Vase de Noces” (Wedding Trough).

A promo-only release in 1979, pressed in an edition so small it effectively never existed - Filippo Trecca's Aquarium Sounds spent four decades as a ghost record, known mostly by rumour. Sonor Music Editions' reissue is its first proper appearance on vinyl since the original pressing, and the first time it has ever been available digitally. The album is, in reality, two things at once. Eight of its ten tracks served as the score for Così Per Gioco, a 1979 TV giallo series directed by Leonardo Co…

2024 repress. "Red canyon" colored vinyl edition. Year 1964. Almost out of nowhere, a half-known and little-regarded director like Sergio Leone reinterprets a film by Akira Kurosawa in a western key and, putting together all the right pieces that contribute to the making of a film, with a pinch of intuition establishes new rules for the 'spaghetti western' genre, starting an endless series of imitations. "For a Fistful of Dollars" would not have the same impact without the inimitable music by En…

Bomb! French composer Alain Goraguer who first made a name for himself as a sideman and arranger for Serge Gainsbourg wrote very few soundtracks, but amongst them, the legendary La Planète Sauvage (1973) is an absolute staple of France’s essential music. During that same period of time, Goraguer wrote two rare and beautiful scores using the same masterclass arrangements. On L’Affaire Dominici (1975), Alain Goraguer creates a theme of great melodic clarity from a palette of breathy flutes, clavin…

*2023 stock* This 11-track live compilation, assembled from various venues including German television ("Kick Out the Jams") and Detroit's Grande Ballroom in 1969 and New York City in 1970, offers slightly better sound than has been heard on some of the other MC5 archival material that started surfacing in the 1990s. But that's not to say that it plays in any way like an official release -- Rob Tyner's vocals have a problem competing with the guitars of Fred "Sonic" Smith and Wayne Kramer, but s…

** Yellow Vinyl **One of the most haunting Morricone soundtracks ever -- and one of the grooviest too! The album's a perfect blend of our two favorite styles of Morricone work -- that of the floating female vocal over a gentle groove, and the darker, tenser side of his music: Ennio Morricone's famous soundtrack composed for the 1971 Franco Rubartelli documentary Veruschka, Poesia Di Una Donna. The main "Verushka" theme is one of his most beautiful -- a variation of female vocals with a gentle ed…

The son of a judge who trained as a lawyer before abandoning the profession for music, Piero Piccioni brought to Italian cinema a compositional intelligence that set him apart from almost every contemporary. His collaborators included Michelangelo Antonioni, Luchino Visconti, Vittorio De Sica, and Francesco Rosi - a list that places him closer to the art film than the genre picture. Yet it is in the crime and thriller scores of the 1970s that his work finds some of its most inventive expression,…
