Walkabout (1971 Ost) LP
A lost paradise, a lost innocence, and a lost culture; these are the dominant themes presented in Nicolas Roeg’s 1971 masterpiece Walkabout, a survival story of two children lost in the scorched Australian wilderness. Together with other seminal Aust…
Impressions In Rhythm And Sound
**small restock, last copies** Hand-crafted by renowned composer for exotic and erotic cinema Armando Sciascia in his bespoke Vedette Studio, the LP’s delirious instrumental concoction of pounding drums, supple bass, distorted piano, phased harpsicho…
