Gohan Ga Dekitayo
Double LP version. Wewantsounds present a 40th anniversary reissue of Akiko Yano's Gohan Ga Dekitayo, originally released in 1980. This superb double-album was recorded with Yellow Magic Orchestra at a time when she was part of the group's touring line-up between 1979 and 1980.

Permana is also active in the group Tarawangsawelas who released their debut album on Morphine recor…
Musica Poliformale
**Very rare original 1971 LP. Few copies available** Rare record on the legendary Sermi label, a nice sound library record, but one from the 'experimental' side of the 70s spectrum by composer AR Luciani - one side haunting chamber music, the other side darker and more avant-garde. Fantastic cover with a great Futurist design
Europa 1930-1940
**Very rare original 1975 LP. Few copies available** Rare record on the collectible Deneb label,aA great early 70s War-themed library LP by Riz AR Luciani! Europa 1930-1940 is crafted with a slightly different feel than usual for the time – almost more straight experimental and darker than the some of the seedier Italian drama sounds of the period.
Barocco 2000
**Very rare original 1972 LP** few copies of this original library album, issued by Maria Teresa Luciani. To quote Finderskeepers that a few years ago reissued her 'Sounds of the City' "Pre-digital, indefinable and genuinely unbelievable. But who is Maria Teresa Luciani? On hearing this record, respected collectors and enthusiasts have suggested "the female answer to Basil Kirchin", or "the Italian Daphne Oram", both with justified cause. Mystery, myth, legend, teacher, artist, inventor, author,…
Situazioni
**Very rare original 1975 LP** few copies, still sealed, of this original library album, issued by the legendary RCA SP Series no less than 45 years ago by Antonino Riccardo Luciani, which includes eleven exclusive compositions, full of stark sounds that often move into atonal areas – sometimes electronic, sometimes spacey – and seemingly repeated using tape tricks or other effects, so that a number of tunes loop back on themselves in a really cool way

Building on the back of the previous 2 volumes of their Peace Chant series, Tramp Records takes another deep dive into the world of obscure jazz gems, this time compiling artists that use their medium to welcome the return of the sacred feminine.

Live at Haight Levels Vol.2
The second instalment from Tramp of unearthed, long-lost recordings made in San Francisco during 1967 by the Afro-Blue Persuasion - led by jazz / funk mastermind Ulysses Crockett - Live at Haight Levels Vol. 2 captures the heights of afro-cuban jazz at its very best. Issued in a highly limited pressing of 500 copies, with the first volume already commanding high numbers on the secondary market, this one is bound to fly.
Live from Studio 1
Newly unearthed, never before issued jazz funk hailing from Columbus, Ohio, recorded in 1982 by the short-lived project, Seeds of Fulfillment, Live from Studio 1 drowns the ear in the deep grooves, hair raising tonal interplay, and complex polyrhythms rising from African American communities at the dawn of the 80s.
Contemporanea
**Very rare original copies of this 1975 LP masterpiece, few available** Another twisted gem from the dark Italian maestro, Egisto Macchi of Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza fame. "Contemporanea" was released on the Italian label, Gemelli, in 1975, and was Egisto Macchi's 11th full-length library music LP and largely considered one of his best records. Egisto Macchi happily experiences all the possibilities of sound which at the time, the early seventies, could be imagined recreating a…
Stateless
Guitar improviser Tashi Dorji takes acoustic in hand, recording in a rare studio setting with extra focus and balance. In a set of songs that travel through our bleak modern lifescape, his ability to access an exceptionally wide range of moods and sounds help to express the confusion, rage, helplessness and resolve as an outsider in America today.
Cut A Crooked Track
* Edition of 200 copies. Stamped white labels, postcard attached to the cover, insert * Six new tracks from Mark Anderson and Mark Sadgrove, New Zealanders now based in Japan. Obtuse duo skronk starting out on a fairly reasonable note with 'Scantling' but then slowly deconstructing the song format track by track. The Quemada description of their very underrated 2015 12" makes perfect sense on at least the A-side, "image a Back from the Grave band that was weened on Operation of Sonne and fronted…
