Soundtrack From The Film "More"
Commissioned as a soundtrack to the seldom-seen French hippie movie of the same name, More was a Pink Floyd album in its own right, reaching the Top Ten in Britain. The group's atmospheric music was a natural for movies, but when assembled for record, these pieces were unavoidably a bit patchwork, ranging from folky ballads to fierce electronic instrumentals to incidental mood music.
Ritmo dell’industria N. 2
*Limited edition yellow vinyl* At the end of the ‘60s in Italy – but also abroad, especially in France and England – a very particular trend began to spread, that one known as ’Library music’ or ‘sonorization’: as suggested by its name, those were real music libraries intended for the accompaniment of audiovisual productions such as television programs, advertisements, documentaries and films. Since they were created in total artistic freedom condition, they are often difficult if not impossible…

Magnificat
300 copies. Black Vinyl Taken from the 1993 movie directed by Pupi Avati. To describe the dark era of the Middle Ages, between the sacred and the profane, Riz Ortolani has composed a fascinating score of ancient flavor and by abstract sounds even given from the sound of water and the breath of the wind mixed with the tolling of the bell, various types of percussion, strings instruments and ghostly choral voices
Citta' Violenta
** Double LP, 300 copies. Black Vinyl ** A tight, atmospheric, and pretty damn funky soundtrack composed by the maestro Ennio Morricone for the 1970 crime-drama Città violenta (released in the USA as The Family in 1973), conducted by Bruno Nicolai, starring the mighty Charles Bronson and directed by Sergio Sollima. Another hard-hitting score by Morricone with quite a dark mood, flowing from the dramatic to psychedelic along with a touch of funkiness. The famous "Città violenta" track, the score…

Le Foto Proibite Di Una Signora Per Bene
One of the greatest soundtracks ever from the legendary Ennio Morricone – a real standard-setting record that's one of the top choices we go to again and again to illustrate the genius of his music! The score is a fantastic mix of the two best sides of Morricone's work – the kind of light, lilting melodies that are schooled in bossa, but turned loose on their own devices – and the darker, more atonal passages that would come to play more strongly during the 70s. The light wins over the darkness …

Also known as a chanson artist in the late Sixties under the name Ted Scotto, French musician Edouard Joseph Scotto Di Suoccio began making incredibly diverse music under the alias Yan Tregger in the mid-Seventies. ‘Space Oddities 1974-1991’ is a spectacular selection of fourteen of his tracks, which span library music to experimental music via disco, pop and funk.
Free Music (Part 1)

Releasing an astonishing 10 albums, all impressively strong and equally infused by soul, funk, disco and reggae, The Free Music created a distinctly infectious groove that unfortunately didn't make an impact outside of Libya due to the complex political situation at the time.
Electronic Designs
Entirely remastered from the original analogue tapes and featuring brand new artwork designed by Luke Insect, this Four Flies reissue finally brings back to life one of the most surprising albums from the strange phenomenon that was the Italian library music of the Seventies.

M…
