Thrilling Mortale
Welcome to the third instalment in Vampisoul's series dedicated to the original Italian library music from the vaults of Nelson Records. In this album, the label digs deeper into the most experimental recordings in the archives of Nelson Records. The label was founded in 1970 by the musicians Maurizio Majorana, Antonello Vannucchi, and Roberto Podio (who along with Carlo Pes would be known as I Marc 4), after establishing the Telecinesound studio, right where the New Italian Library Sound was cr…
Ghost Tropic
Ghost Tropic is first and foremost the name of the third feature from acclaimed Belgian writer-director Bas Devos. The film tells the story of Khadija, a middle-aged cleaner who has no other option but to walk home through Brussels on a cold night after falling asleep on the last train. The journey is a reflection on motherhood and expectations, pride and unknown struggles, stories of the ghostly magic of a lonely night in a big city, of the kindness of strangers and the hurt felt seeing the vul…

Peace On You
Sheathed in obscurity following its 1972 release in Italy, Peace on You–the sole long-player from Ghana’s Mack Porter–is a true outlier gem of blues, soul, and psychedelic rock. With its dramatic David Axelrod-esque arrangements and Porter’s blurry, mirage-like lines between Hendrix soul and doomy Sabbath riffs, the record exists on a plane of rarity entirely its own.... "An African artist, born in Ghana (1945) during the English colonial occupation, Mack Porter moved to the Netherlands and the…

Percussioni ed Effetti + Agonia Della Civiltà
**Special discounted bundle** You may have noticed, over the last few years, a slow trickle of remarkable, genre defiant works emerging from the small, Milan based imprint, Intervallo. Largely falling under the banner of Library Music, the label’s effort have illuminated this fascinating context as an artistic Trojan horse - compositions of profound worth, often explicitly experimental and avant-garde, created within the shadows of the commercial world. After brief period of silence, the label r…

Fastness / Coagulation
When we talk about Tullio de Piscopo (Naples, 1946) we’re talking of a living legend of drums, whose career dates back to 1969. In 1971, tired of commuting from Naples to Milan, he moved to Milan for good where he joined as a drummer the group of Gianni Basso and Oscar Valdambrini. Shortly after, he recorded his very first single on a 45 under the moniker of Jujuy, for Aldo Pagani’s label Analogy, with cat. number 'TRE 0'.Recorded in 1971, but only published in 1973, Fastness and Coagulation are…
Nature, Man and Woman
**In process of stocking** It’s been a few short months since Badge Époque Ensemble released their self titled debut, an ambiguous collection of woozy, narcotized funk. And yet already we have Nature, Man and Woman - a simmering new platter containing 3 songs, producing 26 minutes of dank flute-oriented atmosphere.The disco-sleeved 12" EP provides a revealing glimpse of a musically omnivorous approach. On Badge Theme we find the group upping the ante of the sound of their debut, unspooling 14 mi…
Jayeche
**475 copies ** The rare and sought-after third album by Venezualan keyboard legend Vytas Brenner, first released in 1975 under the band name Ofrenda, stands as arguably his crowning achievement in a career in which he successfully managed to build a bridge between his homeland's traditional music, jazz fusion of a distinctly Weather Report / Return To Forever stripe, and a generous helping of kosmische stargazing. The result is a groove-driven, exotic and richly psychedelic confection that has …

Space Funk: Afro-Futurist Electro Funk in Space 1976-84
**1.000 copies** "The Black and Latin American space programme of the late '70s and early '80s was born on dancefloors and took more bodies into orbit than NASA ever did. Space Funk: Afro Futurist Electro Funk In Space 1976-84 charts a major phase shift between boogie-disco and electro-funk that came about as African American and Latin American artists really embraced the potential of computers and synths to express their ideas about alienation and utopian escapism. Taking cues from science fict…
The Quintessence
The "Nightingale of the Andes", the voice of birds and earthquakes, the Peruvian soprano Yma Sumac was the most singular and vivacious of recording artists. Her other-worldly vocal gymnastics, a freakish four octave range delivered with sensitivity and power, were without peer in her day and still sound like nothing on Earth. Her natural versatility was such that the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla advised her to sing spontaneously and to avoid formal music teaching at all costs.The Quintessenc…
Agonia della civiltà
**300 copies** The great fame of Antonino Riccardo Luciani, a musician and composer from Palermo, is due above all to his work for television and to one in particular, namely the music for the Almanacco del giorno dopo (Almanac of the Coming Day), a famous program that has been broadcast on the first channel of RAI - Italian Television for over twenty years. Chanson Balladée, this is the title, is for many people an indelible memory of a television now disappeared and radically changed, for whic…
Percussioni ed effetti
**300 copies** As often happens in the case of library music albums, even in Leonardo Marletta's one and only record in his career, the titles serve above all as sound indications, as if they were listening guides.
