Tim Maia 1973
A great step forward for the legendary Tim Maia – working here in a style that's even tighter and more sophisticated than before – yet still equally filled with funk and soul! The arrangements are a bit bigger than before, and the production a bit more professional – but that change only brings Tim into even more heavenly soul territory – with a mix of grooves and strings that lays somewhere between the best early 70s work on labels like Curtom or Motown! Tim's got a new sense of majesty on the …
Napoli Violenta
The original soundtrack of the 1976 cult movie 'Napoli Violenta', composed by Maestro Franco Micalizzi, sees a deserved reissue. A classic 70s Italian crime soundtrack! There's a quality to the music that really matches the badass image on the front – a bold, forceful approach that has the upbeat numbers strutting along with plenty of pride – and which has the mellower, more brooding tracks working themes that are simple, but which pack the same force as the revolver on the cover. Franco Micaliz…

The Altar
*100 copies limited edition* As a continuation of her ethnographic sound archeology, decoding and recoding ancestral forms of rhythm and melody, The Altar EP emerges as an invisible sonic architecture, a temporary temple... Here sound emerges as consciousness, an entity influencing and changing its environments through emotional arousal.
The Altar is a sacred dance between knowledge and secrecy, one of intonation, evocation, gestural and accented imagination. Using the ancestral mind as a concep…

Orquestra Afro-Brasileira

Mainly based on percussion instruments, at the time …
Raul Seixas
*2024 stock * Originally released in 1983 on the Eldorado label, the album "Raul Seixas", also known as "carimbador maluco" because of the success of this song, is a milestone in the artist's career. "O Carimbador Maluco" was the theme song for the children's special "Plunct Plact Zuuum", which aired on Rede Globo and was a huge success at the time.

Secos & Molhados
*2024 stock * Vinyl LP-only repressing of this album from the Brazilian band. Formed in 1971 by Ney Matogrosso (vocalist), Gerson Conrad (vocalist/composer/violao) and Joao Ricardo (singer/composer/violao/harmonica), Secos & Molhados is inscribed in a privileged category of few bands and musicians who led Brazil from bossa nova through Tropicalia then to Brazilian rock, a style which only blossomed in the '80s. Much of the group's importance, apart from the huge success of it's first album, whic…
Pushed Streets
Big tip! Deluxe LP housed in tip-on jacket with gloss film laminated cover and printed inner sleeve featuring photograph and painting by Michael Morley. Over the last ten years, Michael Morley has embraced the acoustic guitar as the means of channeling the darkest threads that have run through his work since the early 1980’s. While he largely made a name for himself as a maverick of primitive electric guitar and electronics in The Dead C and Gate, Morley’s love of song form has never been far fr…

My Prophet
On My Prophet, Oded Tzur together with his quartet of pianist Nitai Hershkovits, bassist Petros Klampanis and the new group member Cyrano Almeida on drums, continues on the idiosyncratic musical path he has carved out for himself – a flowing jazz idiom that seamlessly combines multiple forms of expression –, while delving deeper into the meditative and highly concentrated realm of improvisation. In the process, the saxophonist presents some of his fiercest playing yet.
The quartet’s synergy is…

Ghana Special Volume 2 (Electronic Highlife & Afro Sounds In The Diaspora 1980-93)
In the early 1980s, a particular alchemy between new musical technologies and significant social, cultural, and political transformations in Ghana gave rise to a new style of highlife. Drum machines and synthesisers appeared alongside lilting guitar lines and punchy horns, and the emerging Ghanaian diaspora began incorporating US disco and boogie, R&B, European new wave, and Caribbean zouk and soca into their music. This style soundtracked the birth of a new, proud Ghanaian identity and captured…

Kill A Phantom
Rent ist the pseudonym of artist and ecologist Katrin Euller. Rent’s sounds refer to industrial ecosystems, interconnections, dark landscapes and their stories and the stories of those who inhabit these places. At the same time, it is the processes of sound creation itself that emerge in Rent's compositions: sounds influence each other, reinforce each other, cancel each other out, dissolve and become noise, sound like the city, a car alarm for example. Then everything gets lost in the fog again.…
