Step into the golden era of soul-jazz with the long-awaited vinyl reissue of “Vibrations” (1976) by Roy Ayers Ubiquity — a record that captures the unmistakable warmth, groove, and sophistication that defined Roy Ayers’ sound at its peak. Beyond its original impact, “Vibrations” has taken on a second life through hip-hop. Its grooves, breaks, and melodies have been extensively sampled by generations of producers and artists, becoming a foundational source for crate diggers and beatmakers alike. …

The Scholars did what they had to do. I knew too much, and it was too risky to keep me within the Walls. The Sacred Cycle cannot be touched, even by thought. But I had to know. I could not stop myself… They cast me out into the desert. After two days of walking, I found a small cave where I could rest for a while. I feel strange, as if my mind has been corrupted by the Sacred Cycle. The road through the desert seems to repeat itself in an endless loop. I was relieved to find this cave. Maybe it …

In the centuries long past, the people of the province of Culhaver used to celebrate their successful harvest of the crops by travelling across Yarrowdale moor to the mountains to give thanks to their god who had sent them rain when needed and sunshine to follow the rain. It was on this day of celebration in the mountains, one year long ago, that a fearful dragon appeared, swooping down from the sky and attacking the defenceless gathering villagers. He became known as “Dagmor the Terrible”. Spit…

Oh yes! The Japanese fantasy-chiptune maniac in Turbografx-16 and SuperNes style called Black Tiger is back with a new, psychedelic album that will unleash your imagination! One of HDK clandestine (and unpaid) collaborator, the fantasy blast-beat author called Gian Spazz (sic), after smoking a too big spliff, wrote a weird story, full of plot holes, incongruous events and grammatical errors called "Spawn of the Changing Raven". The guy called Black Tiger has obtained the difficult task of writin…

Near a remote village with a not-so-important name lies the entrance to a dungeon, sadly notorious among the local inhabitants. Legend has it that no one has ever come out of it alive. This is the only certain truth; all the rumors about what awaits you inside are wildly different and often contradictory. This peculiar dungeon is actually a magical dungeon, the foolish (or perhaps amusing?) experiment of a diabolical 36th-level wizard: the dungeon is constantly changing, or perhaps it does not e…

Arriving from the island of Cyprus to the HDK catalog is the Mediterranean dungeon-synth of "Idylls of the Last King." The prolific artist continues his tale of suspended narratives, ancient stones, and echoes of bygone splendor. "A Year at the End of Time" comprises ten tracks recounting the fall of empires through the metaphor of the changing seasons, from the frost of winter to the fading of autumn. Included with the cassette is a handy tool for creating the perfect decadent settings for your…

Somber, damp, and tactile, the sound emerges slowly—like water timidly seeping through rock, swelling drop by drop into a steady flow: stern drones, buried melodies, and musique concrète chase one another, transforming a sparse landscape into an increasingly dense, unstoppable mass. It is music that smells of rotting leaves, pine needles and wet earth after a storm — of something ancient breathing underground...We were captivated by the sound of this dungeon-synth foray by Blood Resignation; we …

Welcome to the second chapter of “Glimpse into Horror,” a journey into the most twisted and bizarre corners of pulp horror. We return to the United States of the early 1950s—the brief but glorious era of horror comics that predated the Comics Code—a frenetic time when newsstands were overrun by walking corpses, vampires, severed heads, mad scientists, and outlandish monsters.Between 1950 and 1954, before the advent of the Comics Code Authority, American horror comics enjoyed a period of extraord…

Lansdowne Books returns to World Countdown, the music newspaper that Charles Royal published in California every two weeks between August 1966 and July 1969. Original copies are very hard to find today. World Countdown - Volume 2 picks up where the first book stopped and reproduces every issue from July 1967 to May 1968. These are the months right after Monterey, when West Coast psychedelia was at full strength and the paper followed it issue by issue. In its pages: Love, Moby Grape, Spirit, Blu…
