Reissues
Africadelic
Diggers Factory present a reissue of Manu Dibango's Africadelic, originally released in 1972. The strange and majestic musical beast that is Africadelic was Dibango's follow-up to Soul Makossa (1972), but it was initially released on Louis Delacour's library music label, Mondiaphone, before Soul Makossa became an international phenomenon.
As a Mondiaphone release, it was aimed at television and film producers seeking atmospheric background music, so the original titles are simply "Theme No 1," "…
Welcome To Love
Pharoah ‘Farrell’ Sanders (born 1940) is a leading figure in the world of jazz and one of the last living legends with connections to players like Sun Ra and John Coltrane. His tenor saxophone playing has earned him royal status amongst free jazz players, critics and collectors.
Originally Sanders was interested in urban blues music, but his high school teacher exposed him to jazz and this took Farrell in an entirely new direction. Once completing high school Sanders quickly packed his belongin…
Moon Child
*2022 stock* Pharoah Sanders’ Moon Child from 1990, which bookended a decade of musical soul searching for Sanders. The acclaimed free jazz player is known to have a raw and abrasive sound, but reinvented himself on this album as a more traditional improviser capable of thoughtful deliberations. Moon Child is a grand old time throughout, and Sanders has never been more eminently sing-along-able as he is on its title track.
The record was co-written with Horace Silver, George Gershwin and Abdulla…
Scorpio (Original MGM Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Celebrating the Jerry Fielding centenary, Quartet Records, in collaboration with MGM, is proud to present the first commercial LP edition of Scorpio, one of the most celebrated collaborations between the composer and Michael Winner.
This CIA thriller starring Burt Lancaster, Alain Delon and Paul Scofield, gave Fielding, a key composer in American 70s cinema, the opportunity to create a haunting Parisian melody, which he then surrounds with his trademark complex motifs, aggressive rhythms, and el…
Seconds
Quartet Records, in collaboration with Paramount Pictures, presents the premiere vinyl edition of Jerry Goldsmith’s marvelous score for John Frankenheimer’s sci-fi-horror-drama cult classic Seconds (1966). Seconds starred Rock Hudson – in an astonishing change of pace, as the film campaign ads said – as an unhappy middle-aged banker who agrees to a procedure that will fake his death and give him a completely new look and identity. But it comes with its own price.
Jerry Goldsmith’s fascinating sc…

One Night in Pelican
A night-time haunt in the backstreets of Soweto run by a well-known bootlegger should have been a prime zone for nefarious underworld activities. Instead, it nurtured an underground of a different kind. Soon after its opening in 1973, Club Pelican became a spot where musicians steeped in the tradition of South African jazz began to cook up experimental sounds inspired by communion, competition and the movements in funk and soul blowing in from the West. Located in an industrial park on the weste…
The Sea Maid's Music
*2022 stock* Adapted from Shakespeare's Midnight Summer Dream. Realized April-May 1990 using the Syter system developed within Groupe de recherches musicales by Daniel Terruggi. Composed by Jean Schwarz, vocals by Elise Caron
In Sadness, Silence and Solitude (expanded edition - 2021)
*Limited edition of 500 copies. 2022 stock* "Mammoth stone walls stretching high into the unknown, dank cellars stewn with bones and ashes. A chill in the lonely night wind disturbed by the utterance of arcane phrases. This is music guaranteed to at least bring about thoughts of mysticism, if it doesn't produce mystical states outright. This defines the term hauntingly beautiful.'In Sadness, Silence And Solitude', first released in ì 1997, is the fourth full-length album of raison d'être and is …
The Stains Of The Embodied Sacrifice (Expanded Edition 2021)
*2022 stock* "The Stains of the Embodied Sacrifice" is not only vibrating on the surface of your skin. It is alive and breathing, a creature with a knife that cut deep wounds in your body while your soul shatters for air. It is a psychosomatic and transgressive disease oppressed by a compulsive behaviour manifested in dualities - the one of your body and mind - and states of metamorphoses - mind becomes flesh become wounds become fluids become stains. Play it loud if you want to become the marty…
The Empty Hollow Unfolds (Expanded Edition 2021)
*2022 stock* "The ambience of grim desolation: With 'The Empty Hollow Unfolds', originally released 2000 on Cold Meat Industry, the ubiquitous Peter Andersson continues his exploration of internal desolation, be it of a spiritual base or purely of self. 'The Empty Hollow' in question seems to be the soul; a soul that has unfolded into a vast, blasted industrial landscape, littered with warehouse debris that solemnly clatters like wind chimes born of refuge. The darkened shadows cast on 'The Empt…
Unification
*2022 stock* After seven years one of the most experimental Bad Sector release, based on the concept of gravitational waves and the unification of forces of the nature, finally found its final form. The original 20 minutes program has been expanded into a full length CD, containing cold (and sci-fi) atmospheres: an amazing soundtrack for your mindtrip to the deepest places of the universe. A really challenging work, thousands of miles distant from the Ampos’ fuzzy harmonies, but strangely still …

Belong To The Wind
For all those who relate "maybe to the wind, because they can feel it, or dirt, because they can touch it. But nothing else." Like Bobby Cornett (aka Shane), we are all trying to find where we belong.
Belong To The Wind marks Forager Records' debut release: A lovingly curated collection of crooning psychedelic folk and soul songs gathered from American 45s of the 1970s. The compilation features 10 songs from 10 different acts, each with an indelible story of love, loss, loneliness, and an unrele…
