Gabor Szabo exploded onto the American jazz scene in the early sixties. His unusual approach and unique sound brought something startling and new to jazz.

Once Sz…

Grinning Cat
With Grinning Cat, Susumu Yokota continues to refine his delicate ambient universe through a dreamlike balance of melody, texture, and silence. The 2001 album merges found sounds, piano fragments, and vaporous rhythms into an otherworldly narrative of domestic tranquility and imaginative reverie.
Magic Thread
First released in 1998, Magic Thread finds Susumu Yokota navigating the liminal space between club rhythm and ambient reverie. Blending vaporous beats, dub inflections, and microscopic detail, the album traces the moment he stepped from late‑night dance floors into dawn-lit introspection.
Jeux d’eau
Jeux d’eau by Copenhagen Clarinet Choir and Anders Lauge Meldgaard is an electro-acoustic meditation inspired by the fountains of Villa d’Este. Blending clarinet resonance with the fluid timbres of the New Ondomo, the work reveals a continuous dialogue between water, sound, and human presence—where improvisation and structure merge like converging streams.
The Midnight Hour
The Midnight Hour by Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad is a lush confluence of soul, jazz, and hip hop that bridges eras with analog warmth and orchestral finesse. Rooted in the duo’s shared reverence for Black musical heritage, it unfolds as both homage and renewal—a nocturnal suite of rhythm, poetry, and craft steeped in the elegance of timeless sound.

The Velvet Underground & Nico (LP)

Just pick any track: "I'm Waiting For The Man," "Sunday Mo…
Bluebeard
With Bluebeard (1972), Ennio Morricone explores the gothic absurdity of Edward Dmytryk’s erotic thriller through a score oscillating between melancholy, parody, and psychological unease. By blending chamber restraint and baroque flamboyance, Morricone transforms the infamous tale into a study of decadence, control, and the seductions of death.
Le Trio Infernal
Composed by Ennio Morricone for Francis Girod’s 1974 film Le Trio Infernal, this score fuses elegance and moral decay in dazzling contrast. Through waltzes, grotesque marches, and ironic chanson motifs, Morricone mirrors the film’s mordant humor and gothic perversity, crafting one of his most caustically inventive European soundtracks.
Per le Antiche Scale
In Per le Antiche Scale, Ennio Morricone sculpts a haunting and cerebral score for Mauro Bolognini’s 1975 psychological drama. Through mournful strings, dissonant gestures, and lyrical fragments, Morricone captures the fragile border between reason and madness, crafting one of his most introspective and emotionally complex film soundtracks.
