Reissues
Natura Morta
On Natura Morta, Sven Wunder is exploring art as a bridge between nature and the human ability to judge and observe in eleven musical compositions with brightly colored textures and an emphasis on vibrant melodies.
Wabi Sabi
By welcoming the beauty of imperfection and simplicity, Sven Wunder applies the timeless wisdom of wabi sabi on this musical journey. What you can hear is filtered through Ukiyo-e (which translates as “pictures of the floating world”), which illustrates everyday life, as well as through Japonism, the study of Japanese art, and more specifically its influence on European works.
Shake & Soda
*Limited edition of 500 units.* Quartet Records is proud to celebrate the centenary of one of the most iconic, elegant and individual voices of Italian cinema for more than four decades: the one and only Piero Piccioni. Shake And Soda is a super-groovy journey to the maestro’s lounge-music side, always fresh, classy, risky and surprising in its form and development. From soft to free jazz, from shake to bossa, from calypso to bebop, from swing to reggae… Selections from some of his most famous a…
El Artilugio
Building upon a standing commitment to the work of artists who worked in international obscurity under the shadow of 1960s and '70s fascist Spain, Alga Marghen returns with "El Artilugio”, a never before issued body of work by Manuel Calvo. Bridging the contexts of installation, sound art, sound poetry, and experimental music / noise, its stunning two sides - issued in a limited edition of 200 copies on vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve with an accompanying large format 8-page booklet with in-d…
Suddance
High quality vinyl reissue with remastered sound. Osanna are considered one of the best bands to emerge from the fertile Italian prog scene of the 1970s known not only for their excellent blend of various musical genres but equally for the live performances that made them stand out from the pack from the getgo. This band from Napoli formed all the way back in 1970 and was known for changing things up radically on each album with the 1973 magnum opus "Palepoli" still considered one of the greates…

First Rehearsal Tapes
*2021 repress* "On Suicide's First Rehearsal Tapes, recorded in 1975, Alan Vega and Martin Rev create minimalist aural structures, traces of which would surface on their eponymous debut album, released on the Red Star label in late 1977."These songs are not a sketchpad of semi-formed ideas. The First Rehearsal Tapes comprise an audio diary of two men out in the ether, measuring themselves as evolving individual artists and as a unit who would rely on inseparability to realize their unique and of…
Slates
* 2021 LP edition * compiles the six tracks from the original EP release, their March 1981 Peel session and an early '80s studio outtake. Liner notes by Brian Turner. If The Fall truly is a cult band, then Slates both benefits from and reinforces such shrouded obsessions. In presenting these six particular songs as a 10-inch EP, the inherent and attractive difficulty of The Fall's sound is made physical, framing the urgency of their singles from this period (notably How I Wrote 'Elastic Man' an…
Il Tempo Degli Assassini
Between the 60s and 80s, Albert Verrecchia played a major role in Italian pop music and in the European disco and Afro-cosmic scene, both under his own name and under the monikers Albert Weyman and Albert Prince.

Floreama
Following the work previously made on "Cocktail Bar" and "Erbe Selvatiche", Modern Sound Quartet release their third full-length "Floreama" in 1977, this time focusing their work around the world of flowers. The twelve tracks on this recording boast the highest form of Italian jazz-funk vibes, with some rock, disco and spacey moods thrown in for good measure. Each flower sets the track in a different mood and brings the listener in a different dimension, alternating upbeat funky moments to some …
Stencil
* 200 copies * Boche’s third album in 25 years, on solid vinyl, that unites outtakes from his beat-oriented early phase with ambient pieces, generated mainly from manipulated shortwave radio recordings. The album culminates in “Stolid Rounder”, one of his key tracks from the late 1980s: deeply pulsing audio feedbacks explore stereophonic space. The sleeve, with cover art by Marc Behrens, includes a laser cut stencil of the original Boche logo for your personal DIY Boche branding! Sweet!
I See Wind, I Hear Voices
Originally released as privately pressed K7, Praga De Urubu Só Pega Em Cavalo Magro (Vulture’s Plague Only Catches a Thin Horse), is the result of a Tropa Macaca live performance in the emblematic Lisbon venue Lux, circa 2012. The long ecstatic piece, lasting over 21 minutes, builds up slowly – much like a vulture hovering patiently over its prey, waiting for the opportunity to claim its reward.

Paradiso Infernal
Glowering debut LP of concentrated, razing guitar noise and resonant atmospheres from Christina Nemec (Chra) and Christian Schachinger, both erstwhile collaborators with the dearly departed Peter Rehberg in Shampoo Boy and Peterlicker

Phoney Recs (Tape)
**Edition of 58 copies ** An endearingly crackly lo-fi collection from New Zealander Anthony Milton " Its been a long while since I recorded any music, still been playing but I drowned my last tape recorder crossing a river in the Ruahine Ranges. Discovered that I could record on the old cell phone my mum gave me and so decided to borrow another off a mate and try recording using 2 cellphones. These were mostly done on an autumn afternoon in 2012. One layer was recorded on my knees in the bush.…
