C.Q.
The Outsiders' final LP is one of the finer unsung psychedelic records of the late '60s. Heavy echoes of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, Hendrix, and psychedelic-era Pretty Things, with adroit shifts from crunching rock and soft, almost folky passages to spacy phase shift bits and just plain dementia. The album has an ominous and creepy, but rocking, ambience that still cuts deep.

Secos & Molhados (1973) Lp

The album includes poetry works of authors such as Vinícius de Moraes, Manuel Bandeira and João Apolinário, and dances and songs from Portuguese folklore and Brazilian traditions. The album, as well as the band itself, emerged in the midst of a time of censorship and military dictatorship in Brazil, inspiring the band to portray themes such as freedom of expression, racism and war as a form of protest. It…
A Tábua De Esmeralda
During the mid-1970s, Jorge Ben could do no wrong. Known as the father of samba rock, Ben gained an international audience with an infectious singing style marked by bright optimism and funny satire; A Tábua de Esmeralda deviated from the script by delving into the alchemy of the Middle Ages, as well as the second coming of Jesus, but the production is so nuanced and his voice so agreeable that the album was a surefire hit, and Ben manages to squeeze in some groovy numbers saluting womanhood, an…
Construcao
Construção (Portuguese for 'Construction') is the eighth studio album by Brazilian singer-songwriter Chico Buarque, released in December 1971. It was composed in periods between Buarque's exile in Italy and his return to Brazil. Lyrically, the album is loaded with criticisms of the Brazilian military dictatorship, especially with regard to the censorship imposed by the government at the time. It is widely regarded by music critics as one of the greatest Brazilian albums of all time.
Ben
The long unavailable ninth album by Brazilian star Jorge Ben. Released in 1972, "Ben" comes from one of Jorge Ben’s most artistically important phases, the early 70s. The album has some of Ben’s most famous songs, “Taj Mahal” (plagiarized by Rod Stewart on his song “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?”, as the British singer admitted himself in 2012), and “Fio Maravilha”, paying homage to Flamengo’s iconic football player Fio Maravilha.

Mirages II
AIR 's Jean-Benoît Dunckel & Jonathan Fitoussi have joined forces to release Mirages II, a sonic exploration of analogue synthesis, moving from the minimal to the cinematic. "After their first album as a duo, released in 2019, JB & Jonathan have gone back together to build another work, in which their two personalities unfold even more surreptitiously, always very attentive to each other. At their heart, an electronic spirit, anchored to a very mineral rhythm. There are glimpses and echoes of th…

Discovered by Matthew Katz, who brokered success for Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape and It’s A Beautiful Day, Tripsichord’s debut long player somehow faded into obscurity, despite David Zandonatti’s inspired songwriting, his gripping lead guitar licks and some fine Hammond work from Oliver McKinney. The expanded edition has five sought-after bonus tracks, maki…

Danger: Diabolik
2025 Restock. Iconic film composer Ennio Morricone made an incredible contribution to popular music.

The 1968 oddity Danger: Diabolik! is one of his rarest, since the score was lost in a fire, and one of his most cel…
