House Of Dolls
Italian duo Dressel Amorosi - Valerio Lombardozzi (aka Heinrich Dressel) on keyboards, synths and programming, and Federico Amorosi on bass - return with House of Dolls, their third studio album following Deathmetha (Giallo Disco, 2018) and Spectrum (Four Flies, 2023).
The project stems from the meeting of two musicians deeply rooted in Italian soundtrack history. Lombardozzi is a key figure in Rome's synth scene, with releases on labels such as Mannequin, Bordello A Parigi, Lunar Disko and Gial…
Clouds Ov Deconstruction
The Austrasian Goat started as a black metal outfit that was meant to be anti-nationalist (and of course anti fascist) but that proved ultimately too taxing a fight to have within the genre’s flawed genetics… but The Austrasian Goat never died and comes back as beautiful and bold as ever, its fur now bruised but gilded. The Austrasian Goat is Julien Louvet, who has expertly mastered most of our latest releases, channeling his music from Metz, capital of Austrasia.
Live in Roma 1980
Double CD box, perfect replica of the LP edition, with extensive booklet. The venerable Holidays, having already had an incredible 2023, returns with their final offering of the year and what might just be their most ambitions release to date, Sun Ra’s “Live in Rome 1980”, an astounding 3xLP vinyl box set that captures the Arkestra immersed in one of their greatest live gigs laid to tape. A perfect snapshot of why this band was so incredible, moving from furious free jazz fire into joyous June T…
Horti Lamiani
*300 copies limited edition* Although La Porta Ermetica has not yet released many albums, the roster is far from unknown. Featuring the talents of Adriano Vincenti and founding members of the legendary group Ain Soph, this Italian super group means business. "Horti Lamiani" is a show of strength and a real piece of ear candy for those waiting to hear new ritual frequencies.
The sounds themselves are a testimony to the long-running experience of those involved. Tasty throbs and basses are mixed w…
For the Birds
Edition of 250. Deluxe edition + insert. For eighteen months, between 1984 and 1985, Patrick Lysaght played flute, strings, and percussion inside the Rainforest Birdhouse at the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His audience and collaborators: 150 birds of 42 species.
The result is one of the earliest and most radical documents of interspecies improvisation. Predating the current wave of sound ecology by decades, For The Birds sits comfortably alongside the biophonic research of Bernie …
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…
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…
Live at San Bias
*20 copies limited release* Live performance recorded in July 2023 at Trattoria San Biagio in Orsenigo (CO). Electronic rhythms blend with long guitar improvisations over deep bass lines. The Telamons lead, a forest becomes a mountain, and the faithful move forward through lysergic journeys filled with presences.
El-Hadra - The Mystik Dance
*100 copies limited edition* El-Hadra is more than ambient music - it’s a sonic ritual that leaves a permanent mark on the soul. This album has transformed the way many perceive sound, becoming a personal landmark for countless listeners. Originally recorded in the late 1980s, it fuses elements of Sufi trance with hypnotic tabla rhythms, meditative zither, and deep ambient drone to form a truly transcendent experience. Listening to El-Hadra is like entering a space beyond time - a journey one ca…
Il demone sotto la pelle
In 2023, Trip Hill released his latest work, Il demone sotto la pelle (The Demon Under the Skin), available only as a downloadable file on the Bandcamp online platform. It was an album that differed somewhat from his previous works, in which Fabrizio's passion for krautrock became even more evident and was accompanied by his now classic psychedelic explorations, revealing his more hypnotic-meditative side with oriental, visionary and magical-mystical influences. A wonderful album that we can fin…
Vol. IV: Casting Lines - A Museum Of Memory
Sixteen(!) years after Vol. III - A Hand Full of Days, B’ee returns with the long-awaited next chapter - Vol. IV: Casting Lines - A Museum of Memory.
Stoned Guitar
Recorded in the spring of 1970, this legendary album shows why many consider The Human Instinct to be the finest psychedelic rock band ever to emerge from New Zealand. Led by drummer-vocalist Maurice Greer and featuring the guitar pyrotechnics of the legendary Billy Te Kahika, Stoned Guitar has long been established as a classic hard psychedelic rock album.
1001 hektopaskali
*60 copies limited edition* Euro Herc is a duo formed by Turmeric Acid and Chemiefaserwerk. They were one of the most successful pop acts during the 1980s, selling more than 30 million certified records worldwide from 1982 to 1986. Influenced by funk and soul music and presenting themselves as disaffected youth, Euro Herc's 1983 debut album, Fantastic, addressed the United Kingdom's unemployment problem and teen angst over adulthood.

House Of Strength
*100 copies limited edition* After Kites, Sister, and Mask, House of Strength marked the fourth collaboration between choreographer/dancer Roshanak Morrowatian and composer Rutger Zuydervelt. The performance — and, by extension, the music — has a strong ritualistic quality and can be seen as an inclusive celebration of both spiritual and physical strength.
Drawing inspiration from traditional Iranian percussion as well as contemporary club music, the score bridges old and new worlds, shifting be…
\|\/|\
*33 hand-numbered copies* \|\/|\ is a sonification of the poetic "History of Machines", written in the last years of his life by the Siberian mathematician Valery Yakorev (1927-1999). The poem consists of eight parts, connected by the principle of the circulation of technics, starting from the first machines that worked on the fuel of pain, passing through their cooling in faded anesthetic machines and hardening in machines of neutrality, and ending with a phantom oracle (prophecy), returning th…
Selections from the Mozaik Archive
*250 copies limited edition* Mozaik began its journey under the oppressive aura of the 1980 coup in Turkey, singing songs of freedom from all around the world, eventually stepping into the more controversial areas of jazz, progressive rock and fusion with their own compositions. Whilst the post-coup music scene was dominated by apolitical pop music, Mozaik produced sophisticated lyrics and composed songs in unusual structures.
With a dynamic crew and a rotating list of songwriters in the band, M…
1981
Superb and underrated early '80s jazz fusion album showcasing authentic Brazilian grooves by one of the country's most famous flutists and saxophonists.

Featuring his Gallery club band, Costita soars on sax, flute, and clarone, backed by Roberto Bomilcar and Dirceu. Recorded with full creative freedom, this rare LP captures the free spirit of Brazil's '70s & '80s jazz scene. Hector Cos…
Patto
Formed in London in 1970, Patto evolved from the legendary Timebox and were known for their unique mix of progressive rock, jazz, blues, and their exceptional musicianship. Featuring Mike Patto, Ollie Halsall (one of rock's great "guitarist's guitarists"), Clive Griffiths, and John Halsey, this is their 1970 debut for Vertigo.
