From Dust to Stars
*100 copies limited edition* From Dust to Stars centres on a shared time of music-making in June 2006 at Andrew Chalk’s studio in Hull, northern England—a time that later formed the core of a work shaped over the ensuing years through Kojo’s editing. In Chalk’s wooden studio—its atmosphere shaped by soft humidity and gentle resonance—the three musicians let the music emerge at the pace of their breathing. What unfolded shared qualities with none of their solo works, yet carried traces of each: C…
Italian Library Breaks
The Modern Sound Quartet represents one of the most treasured, yet least documented, outfits in the history of Italian library music. An exceptional studio band of session musicians with a formidable groove, they released only a handful of albums under this name in the second half of the 1970s. However, their sound indelibly shaped dozens of “invisible” soundtracks, often without ever receiving an official credit on the back sleeve.
Led by pianist and composer Oscar Rocchi, and featuring Andrea …
Array
Rosy Parlane is a musician from Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. His work combines piano, guitar, electronics, and field recordings to create music that sits somewhere between composition and environment – less about performance, more about presence. Parlane first became known in the early 1990s as part of Thela, a trio whose exploratory sound bridged noise, improvisation, and minimal rock forms.
Later, as one half of Parmentier with Dion Workman, he explored digital minimalism an…

Hidden
The inimitable Richard Youngs returns to Black Truffle with this third full-length for the label, »Hidden«. Like »CXXI« and »Modern Sorrow«, »Hidden« unfolds across two side-long pieces at once eminently listenable and possessed of the ›bloody-minded‹ dedication to having an idea and sticking with it’ that Youngs himself has identified as one of the key qualities of his work.
At the core of both pieces are rapid, randomised arpeggios generated with a Moog Grandmother, hypnotic patterns that woul…

I Solisti Di Armando Trovajoli
Lucky Restock - Limited Quantities Please note: these are original copies that may show minor sleeve wear due to long-term storage. The vinyl is in excellent condition. Circa 1950, four musicians orbiting the RAI orchestra in Rome had what they later described as "a brilliant idea": to name their group using the initials of their own names. From Maurizio Majorana (bass), Antonello Vannucchi (Hammond organ and piano), Roberto Podio (drums and percussion), and Carlo Pes (guitar) emerged "I Marc 4…
Stroboscopica Vol. 3
Lucky Restock - Limited Quantities Please note: these are original copies that may show minor sleeve wear due to long-term storage. The vinyl is in excellent condition. The Hammond organ holds a chord. The drummer waits. And then - a groove so immediate, so perfectly constructed, that it feels like it has always existed, just waiting to be discovered. This is the paradox of Italian library music: composed for anonymity, destined for something greater.
Twenty tracks from the shadow zone of Italia…
Mondi Caldi Di Notte
Lucky Restock - Limited Quantities Please note: these are original copies that may show minor sleeve wear due to long-term storage. The vinyl is in excellent condition. Before the psychedelic freakout, before the heavy riffs of Distortions, there was the sweat and shimmer of European nightlife - and Armando Sciascia was its house composer. Mondi Caldi Di Notte gathers twenty-four tracks from the mondo sexy documentaries that Sciascia scored in the early 1960s, drawing from the archives of his ow…
Morphine Mambo Jazz Club
Lucky Restock - Limited Quantities. Please note: these are original copies that may show minor sleeve wear due to long-term storage. The vinyl is in excellent condition. What happens when you crack open the vaults of Britain's oldest music library and let the smoke drift in? Morphine Mambo Jazz Club answers that question with eighteen cuts of mid-century tension: music conceived in dimly-lit studios for purposes no one fully remembers, now resurrected as a document of a peculiarly British form o…
Nell'Anno della Luna
A deep mystery surrounds both the film Nell'anno della Luna and its beguiling 1970 soundtrack, a work that hovers somewhere between the elegant swing orchestrations of an earlier era and the more adventurous sonic territories being charted by Italian composers at the close of the 1960s. Even in our current age of instant information and exhaustive online databases, almost nothing is known about the movie itself. What remains is the music: ten tracks of remarkable sophistication and inventiveness…
La Conquista di Luna
In July 20, 1969, as Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface, an Italian pianist and composer named Luciano Michelini was completing work on one of the most extraordinary documents of that moment's cultural impact: La Conquista Di Luna, an imaginary soundtrack to humanity's greatest adventure. There was no film. There would never be a film. What Michelini created instead was something rarer and more enduring: a sonic fantasy of space exploration that captured the wonder, mystery, and optim…
