The Organ is the worlds Greatest Syntesizer
**Limited edition of 222 copies, black vinyl two color screenprinted cover** At eight o'clock on a March morning in 2024, as Amsterdam awakened around it, Charlemagne Palestine took his place at the console of the Vater-Müller organ in the Oude Kerk—the city's oldest building, a Gothic monument dating to 1306—and opened a portal. What emerged over the following forty-plus minutes, now captured on this limited edition LP, stands as one of the most concentrated distillations of Palestine's six-dec…
Zawsze coś
*100 copies limited edition* "Ben Bekele does not exist. At least not the one I'm thinking of. It's a mix of memories and fantasies from the mid-80s when it was my father who visited Ethiopia, returning with two small drums, a couple of pictures and tons of tales. One of them was a story of a boy named Bekele, who taught him a traditional Ethiopian song.
Father passed this song on to us, as best as he could - now I'm having doubts as to what the message is actually about - but back then I was fa…
The Chairman
"This masterful score fuses Western orchestration with ancient Eastern influences, creating a soundscape as tense and intricate as the film’s Cold War espionage. Bold, innovative, and rich in cultural texture, it remains a striking testament to Goldsmith's fearless approach to film music. " "In 1969, as Cold War tensions simmered, Jerry Goldsmith composed the score for 'The Chairman', a spy thriller starring Gregory Peck. Known for his genre-spanning versatility, Goldsmith had already impressed …

Things We Lost In The Fire
On Things We Lost in the Fire, Low stretch slowcore until it glows, binding hushed harmonies, sudden noise and fragile lullabies into one prolonged reckoning with love, faith and mortality. What began as an “anti-rock” trio here becomes a devastatingly direct pop group, without sacrificing an inch of quiet intensity.
Silberland Vol 3: The Ambient Side Of Kosmische Musik (1972–1986)
Double LP version. On their last trip to Silberland, hurtled along the chrome highways and glass skyways of the kosmische landscape, powered ever onwards in perpetual motorik motion. This time, however, the Hamburg imprint opt for an unhurried itinerary, coasting far beyond the familiar rhythmic terrain to immerse listeners in the ambient side of this alternative Allemagne. Building on the tape loops, tone poems, and minimalist compositions of the '60s avant-garde, these musicians utilized the s…
Colpo Rovente
2xLP Transparent Blue 180gr + CD | Limited Numbered Edition of 500 copies. Before he wrote a single bar of film music, Piero Piccioni was two other people. First, a teenage piano prodigy leading his 013 Big Band on Italian radio in 1938, smuggling American swing past Fascist censors. Then, after the war, a practicing lawyer in Rome, negotiating movie rights for Titanus and De Laurentiis while his jazz band became the first to broadcast in liberated Italy. It took Michelangelo Antonioni to see th…
Gli Intoccabili

The cast reads like an inventory of New Hollywood royalty: John Cassavetes, fresh from Rosemary's Baby, a…
Sabata - Ehi amico... c'è Sabata, Hai Chiuso! (LP, Transparent Red + CD)
Limited edition numbered to 500 copies. Transparent red vinyl format / 180 grams + CD. Lee Van Cleef had already defined the archetype twice over: once as the cold-eyed Angel Eyes in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, once as the elegant Colonel Mortimer in For a Few Dollars More. But Gianfranco Parolini saw something else in that gaunt, reptilian face. Not a villain. Not a gentleman bounty hunter. Something slipperier. A con man with a rifle. A blackmailer in black. A gunfighter who'd rather outsm…
I Lunghi Giorni Della Vendetta
Armando Trovajoli was not a western man. By 1967 he had two decades of work behind him - jazz, sophisticated comedies, orchestral scores for Vittorio De Sica. He knew how to make audiences laugh, how to make them cry, how to write for big bands and strings alike. But dust, horses, guns? That was Morricone territory, Bacalov, Nicolai. Yet when Florestano Vancini called him to score his only foray into the genre, Trovajoli responded with something no one expected.
I Lunghi Giorni Della Vendetta do…
Unfurling
*200 copies limited edition* Pefkin is the alter ego of Gayle Brogan, a Sheffield-based creator of slowly-unfolding, ritualistic hymnals that draw deeply on landscape, nature, and the histories that bind them. Her sound is built from a mesmerising layering of voice, viola, analogue synths, harmonium, melodica, zither and field recordings manipulated with a kaleidoscopic array of effects. Hereby she blurs the boundaries between folk, psychedelia, and experimental music. Over the years her work ha…
