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.

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.

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.

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

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…

Featuring his Gallery club band, Costita soars on sax, flute, and clarone, backed by Roberto Bomilcar and Dirceu.

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.

Convex
Convex is one of a series of LPs that Schnitzler released himself in the 1980s. It is one of his LPs that convey virtually no visible information. Only the title is printed in large letters on the cover of Convex, and in tiny letters that are easy to overlook, it says: "Cover Conrad und Richard." The labels on the original LP indicate that one side is called "Convex" and the other "Concav." That's all the information there is."On Convex, as on many of his other albums, Schnitzler definitely used…
Control
"Control was created during a phase of Schnitzler's work in which his friendship with Peter Baumann (formerly of Tangerine Dream) allowed him to try out and use new electronic sound generators and peripheral technologies. He never used these innovations merely for their own sake, but always put them at the service of his artistic flair for experimentation. His signature style is clearly recognizable on Control.
The album seems to be a kind of compilation of different musical approaches. Tracks 5…
Thereupon
Thereupon is the long-anticipated return of the all-star collaborative trio Fieldwork, which has been described by NPR as a “power trio for the new century.” This long-standing collective comprises three internationally revered innovators of contemporary music: alto saxophonist-composer Steve Lehman, pianist-composer Vijay Iyer, and drummer-composer Tyshawn Sorey. In the seventeen years since their last recording, Door (Pi), all three musicians have climbed to the pinnacle of the creative music …
Surge Studio Music
Spider Taylor crawls over to Dark Entries with Surge Studio Music, an album of archival gay pornographic soundtracks. James Allan Taylor was born into a working-class family in Los Angeles in 1951. Nicknamed “Spider” by his father due to his frantic energy, Taylor was a natural-born guitarist, gifted with perfect pitch and a voracious musical appetite. Throughout the 70s, he expanded his musical repertoire, playing in bands ranging from country to post-punk, like his outfit Red Wedding, while al…
Ornette!
Ornette Coleman, who died in June 2015 from cardiac arrest, must be counted as one of the most influential musicians in the jazz genre. His importance does not only lie in his ground-breaking recordings in the late Fifties and early Sixties, but lies more significantly in the educational effect of his work – in the fact that he always went beyond himself to the very end. Just a little more than a month after his ground-breaking release "Free Jazz", Coleman recorded the present album, in which he…
H.P. Lovecraft
Cosmic Rock is thrilled to announce the long-awaited reissue of H.P. Lovecraft, the seminal debut album by the American psychedelic rock band H.P. Lovecraft. Originally released in October 1967 by Philips Records, this cult classic returns to vinyl, restoring its haunting, eerie ambiance for a new generation of psych explorers.
Blending psychedelic and folk rock influences, H.P. Lovecraft draws direct inspiration from the cosmic horror tales of author H.P. Lovecraft—the band's namesake. The albu…
Resonant – Bodies, Songs, and Strings (Book)
Published on the occasion of the 2025 exhibition Corps à cordes: Vibrations and Resonances at the Musée d’Art et de Culture Soufis MTO in Chatou, curated by Elena Sorokina and Simona Dvorák, this book explores the resonances between Sufism and contemporary artistic practice. Taking the setâr - a key Sufi instrument - as a central metaphor, it reflects on the vibratory nature of emotion, healing, and transmission across human, ecological, and spiritual realms. Conceived as both an extension of th…
