Modern Pop from Mauritania (1984-1989)
This compilation brings together eight tracks by Yassine Nana and his group, recorded between 1984 and 1989, during a key moment in Mauritania’s musical history. A central figure of one of the country’s most respected musical families, Yassine stands at the crossroads of a long-standing tradition and a period of deep transformation in form, sound and production.
Recorded in Mauritania as well as during stays in Paris and Rabat, these songs integrate drum machines, synthesizers and electric guita…
La Cuccagna
On La cuccagna, Ennio Morricone sketches early‑60s Italian life in miniature: light, bittersweet themes, small‑combo colours and gently ironic swings that mirror a young woman’s fragile hopes inside a consumerist daydream starting to fray.
La ragazza e il Generale
In La ragazza e il generale, Ennio Morricone threads anti‑war irony through bittersweet melodies and marching figures, mixing folk‑tinged themes, choral snatches and tense orchestration into a score where tenderness and absurdity share the same battlefield.
Thrilling
In Thrilling, Ennio Morricone’s widescreen sense of drama condenses into a tightly wound suite of themes: tense strings, ghostly choirs and razor‑edged rhythm figures that turn suspense into something almost voluptuously atmospheric.
Wigmore Hall 1968
*Edition of 300 copies. High thickness cardboard with opaque laminated cover. Comes with a printed insert.* John Tchicai (1936-2012) was one of the most visionary free jazz saxophonists of the 20th century - a rare artist whose voice stood apart even among giants. Born in Copenhagen to a Danish mother and a Congolese father, his path to New York came through a chance encounter at a socialist youth festival in Helsinki, where Bill Dixon and Archie Shepp heard him play and urged him to make the mo…
Release Of An Oath
Originally released in 1968 on Reprise Records, Release Of An Oath is the fourth studio album by The Electric Prunes and a radical departure from their earlier garage-psychedelic sound. The album was fully composed and arranged by David Axelrod, drawing inspiration from liturgical music and classical structures, most notably Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in F Minor.
Although credited to The Electric Prunes, the record largely features session musicians under Axelrod’s direction, with only drummer…

Diana in the Autumn Wind
On Diana in the Autumn Wind, Gap Mangione turns late‑60s trio jazz into a Technicolor funk miniature: short, intricate charts, molten Rhodes, and a young Tony Levin/Steve Gadd rhythm engine that future hip‑hop would mine like sacred scripture.
Batteaux
On their self‑titled 1973 LP, Batteaux turn baroque folk into ocean‑lit folk‑funk: lush West Coast arrangements, sky‑high harmonies and proto‑yacht grooves that feel as Balearic as they do Laurel Canyon, somehow both overlooked and timeless.

Far East New Rock Invention 1969-1975
"What strikes me again, even now, is that rock from the late '60s through the early '70s remains the most compelling — whether Western or Japanese. In the mid-1960s, British groups like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones swept across the globe, while in the United States Bob Dylan famously swapped his folk guitar for an electric one, igniting the folk-rock movement. From the surge of new energy among young people in Britain and America — entwined with hippie culture, drugs, and the radical momen…

Caetano Veloso (A Little More Blue)
*2026 repress* Lilith present a reissue of Caetano Veloso's Caetano Veloso (A Little More Blue), originally issued in 1971. Often referred to as "Brazil's unofficial poet laureate" and the "Bob Dylan of Brazil", this heavyweight of Brazilian music was also a young revolutionary who used his music to protest against Brazil's oppressive military regime. This protest music, which became known as tropicalia, first earned Veloso a stint in jail, but by the time this dour album was released in 1971, i…
