Loud World
On Loud World, Nicholas Tripi (a.k.a. Nick Tripi of Big Fun) turns the drummer’s vantage point into a full compositional engine. Rhythm is the load‑bearing wall for a delirious blend of space‑lounge, jungle jazz, KPM‑style library cues and krautrock pulse, ten compact pieces sketching a neon‑lit, nervy planet of their own.
Twenty-Two
On Twenty‑Two, Initials MB offers a quietly psychedelic slice of French pop that feels like a faded postcard from another decade. Reissued on vinyl a decade after its digital birth, the album folds jangling guitars, analogue keys and wistful melodies into compact songs that trace one songwriter’s search for sound, place and identity.
Paradise Cove
On Paradise Cove, Misha Panfilov and Shawn Lee build a sun‑bleached instrumental universe where deep‑funk pulse, soft‑psych haze and library exotica glide together. Surf‑tinted guitars, analogue keys and supple rhythm work trace a 35‑minute arc that feels like a lost soundtrack to a dream resort just slightly out of time.
II
On II, The Oscillators lock into a heady, loop‑driven chemistry where dubwise bass, analogue synth chatter and live‑wired percussion orbit the same gravitational field. Each piece feels like a workshop in motion: themes emerge, mutate and dissolve, turning the record into a continuous, hands‑on exploration rather than a fixed set of songs.
Percussions
On Percussions, Saint Tropez Orchestra turn the drum kit into a bandleader, spreading 20 compact cuts across a spectrum of funk, library jazz and tropical pulse. Every arrangement is built from the skin outward, making rhythm the song’s spine, flesh and nervous system all at once.
The Jolly Story 1967
Francesco Battiato was born on 23 March, 1945, in Jonia, a small town in the province of Catania. After attending the secondary school he moved to Milan to seek his fortune as a musician, but without any significant results during the first years. Giorgio Gaber listened to him by chance and, sensing his talent, recommended him to Ricordi, who didn’t want to engage him. Therefore, Gaber recommended him to Walter Gürtler, who immediately accepted to include him in the group of the protest singers,…

Tunis Hotel Stereo
In the years after independence, Tunisia made an unlikely bet: tourism. Beach resorts rose along the coast, each one trying to outshine the next, and each one needing a band to entertain their guests. A whole generation of musicians grew up on those hotel stages - sharing bills with James Brown, Claude François and the Mingus Dynasty - and what came out of it was a small revolution. Funk played on Tunisian instruments. Disco with an oud in it. Reggae carried back from the island of Kerkennah. A …
Marrakech / La Luz Del Fin Del Mundo
We return to the domestic scene with one of the most coveted items for Spanish record collectors. All sorts of stories circulate about this record: some claim to have seen it decades ago at a fair, while others recount how a fellow collector managed to snag a copy in the early days of the internet. The truth is that those who can boast of having the original on their shelf can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
A true rara avis recorded by Expresion in 1974 for the Musimar label, this legend…
交響組曲 もののけ姫 = Princess Mononoke Symphonic Suite
Princess Mononoke (1997) is set in a mythic late-medieval Japan of iron foundries and forest gods. The young prince Ashitaka, cursed while killing a boar god maddened by hatred, travels west and finds himself caught between the people stripping the forest and the wolf-raised girl San who defends it, a story Hayao Miyazaki refuses to resolve into simple sides. Joe Hisaishi's music met that scale with his grandest and grimmest writing for Miyazaki to that point.
The film score, recorded with the T…

Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom
The first time on any format for Pier Paolo Pasolini's controversial 1975 vision of the Marquis De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, featuring beautiful and discordant classical compositions, in stark contrast to the shocking and cruel events unfolding onscreen.

In the wake of the tragedy, legendary composer Ennio Morricone wrote 'Addio a Pier Paolo Pasolini' (Goodbye to Pier Pa…
