Reissues

To Celebrate its 25th anniversary, Cardinal Fuzz and Feeding Tube Records present the lost classic that is Outrageous Cherry's Out There In The Dark, presented for the very first time on vinyl. Originally released via the DF2K (the contemporary sister label of Del-Fi), one of the classic labels of the '50s and '60s (Richie Valens/Bobby Fuller) and in Europe via Poptones. While earlier records shared a love of The Turtles, The Troggs, and Television Personalities (among a host of other stuff), Ou…

Originally released in 2018 by Portland's Little Cloud Records, this record slipped through the cracks, disappeared into the underground and slowly became one of those records whispered about by people who know exactly where to look. But Sulfur isn't simply a lost psych-rock record being dragged out of the vault because somebody noticed that old copies are expensive. There is something considerably more uncomfortable lurking beneath its surface and eight years after its original release Sulfur i…

"First vinyl issue (and an expanded one, yet!) of the taste-tastic 2008 set recorded by Devin Flynn and Gary Panter, just prior to their reconfiguration as a trio with Ross Goldstein (who only guests hereupon). I will be damned (and I mean truly damned) if I can recall who set this project in motion, but once it was started it rolled like the blimp of eternity it so closely resembles. Gary and Devin had been doing odd, punchy keyboard/guitar juke-a-thons for a while by then, spinning their way i…

Remixed, remade, remodeled vinylization of Palberta's Hot On The Beach (2015). The four brutarian tracks on the A-side are shards of songs reductive enough to have earned their 'no wave' deal of approval. Ug-thrust co-existing with a whacked-out feel more in line with late '70s UK scribblers like the Raincoats or Big In Japan. They do a single extended track called 'Prolly For The Best' - something like a dance 12" released by 99 Records, recorded anonymously and very drunkenly by the Y Pants af…

"This is the vinylization of the fourth solo album (originally released on cassette by Ramp Local) by Nina Ryser, she of the trio, Palberta. Palberta's releases have all been quite amazing - ragged bags filled with musical lumps of the finest kind imaginable. Comparisons have been drawn (and quite rightly) between Palberta and units ranging from Kleenex to Aunt Sally to the Raincoats, so anticipation for this new album was kite-high and rising. I Hope All Your Dreams Come True veers from the roc…

"If a tree fell in the woods of Western Massachusetts in the early '00s, Fat Worm Of Error were probably around to hear it. This restless band of sonic lab technicians made such an earth-encompassing racket during their busiest era - from their spawning in 2002 til about the end of that decade - that it seemed like every random, unexpected sound that occurred within a 10 mile radius of Northampton got sucked up and spit into a song by this quavering quintet. On their third full-length, Nzznzzzzn…

"Finally, in 2018, the full and correct version of Currituck Co.'s fourth album is made public. The operating handle of guitarist Kevin Barker, one of the best players to emerge from the Mid-Atlantic völk underground of the early oughts, Currituck Co. cut five albums between 2000 and 2005, all of which are gorgeous. The original CD version of Sleepwalks, however, released by Track & Field in 2004, was shorn of couple of tracks and featured re-recorded vocals Kevin always thought were a bit naff.…

"There is something very special about the sound of a bummed-out smart person alone in a room somewhere (studio or not) with just their guitar for solace. Many killer examples of the form exist - Skip Spence's Oar (1969), Pip Proud's Adrenaline And Richard (1968), Roy Montgomery's 324 E. 13th Street #7 (1999), and so on. All of these records shine with very special darkness. To this list, I submit the new Mazozma LP, Stark Joy. Kentucky ex-pat, Mike Turner has been using this recording handle fo…

"Recorded in fits and starts, while the artists worked on their moontans amidst strong waters, the sole release by Dead Girl's Party was originally issued on cassette by the Entr'acte label. Since that tape now goes for a ben-and-a-half, we realized it was time to make a vinyl document of these young jazz immortals. Scott 'Pfennig' Foust (XX Committee, IFCO, Tart and the founding philosopher of the Anti-Natural movement) and Matt 'Ha'Penny' Krefting (Son of Earth, Believers, Duck, MK Unit, etc.)…

"Spielgusher represents the meeting of two of America's great artists, Richard Meltzer and Mike Watt. There is additional musical accompaniment by guitarist Hirotaka Shimizu and drummer Yuko Araki, but the basic semiotic brunt of this meeting is shouldered by Richard and Mike. A collaboration between the two had been postulated back when the Minutemen still walked the Earth, but that dream was canceled with D Boon met his tragic fate in December 1985. Still, Meltzer and Watt kept in touch and tr…

"Glorious vinylization of this 2022 ­duo session, originally issued as a cassette, documenting the first time Suzuki and Noyes ever collaborated. Ayami Suzuki has become known to cognoscenti for her brilliantly imagined vocal improvisations, through recordings with like-minded folks such as French vocalist/polymath Delphine Dora and avant hurdy gurdy player, TOMO. Rob Noyes has developed a parallel reputation as a master third-generation acoustic guitarist in the post-Takoma tradition. Originall…

*100 copies limited edition* Tsss Tapes presents Slani pejza​ž​i by the trio formed by Manja Ristic (Serbia), Joana Guerra (Portugal) and Verónica Cerrotta (Argentina).

*200 copies limited edition* 'The late 70s, early 80s, that fierce period of time was all about wearing one mask after another, as we experimented, evolved. After the riot of Punk Rock back in '76 /'77, which certainly taught us all a lesson, so many of us lurched back to Bowie, Roxy Music, Kraftwerk, at London's one-nighters for the new breed of arbiters of taste, where the soundscape of early synth was such a contrast to what was on offer on the gay scene back then. Clubland was becoming a hiv…

*200 copies limited edition* The Hands of Cain were Dimitris Chorianopoulos (vocals, bass), Spyros ‘S. Adam’ Floros (drums), Costas Papakitsos (synthesisers) and Dimitris Stamatiou (guitar) from Athens, Greece. In 1983 the The Hands of Cain evolved from one of the first groups of the Greek punk scene of the early 80’s called Ausschwitss when their music was gaining a darker shade and their lyrics were changing to English. Unlike their former group, the The Hands of Cain had very little public ex…

We continue releasing scores dedicated to the films of Joe D'Amato, and you know when the director pairs up with Nico Fidenco it's surely an ace in the hole. This particular soundtrack is from one of the popular director's Caribbean movies, Sesso nero, shot in 1980 in Santo Domingo and starring Mark Shannon, Annj Goren and George Eastman. The alchemy had been already experimented with and duly tested - the Maestro had already proven to be well-inspired by isles, sun, beautiful women and the dire…

If we consider the artistic spectrum of a composer such as Nico Fidenco , we can say only now that we examined it fully thank to the score of Eros perversion (Ron Wertheim 1979, aka William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night), the first erotic musical ever done. It's surely the taste of such a skilled musician as Nico Fidenco the key to rightly interpret that particular way of expressing eros through images. So in the middle of the dance explosion, of the great disco funky music we are gifted with the …

CFSoundtracks and Beat Records are pleased to release on CD for the first absolute time two original soundtracks for "...scusi, ma lei le paga le tasse?" directed in 1971 by Mino Guerrini starring Franco Franchi e Ciccio Ingrassia, Lino Banfi, Karin Schubert. The film was shot almost entirely in the Primavalle area of Rome in 1971. Musically, Lallo Gori wrote a score with the typical sounds of that period with shake passages, funny motifs and pleasant swing fugatos where Nora Orlandi's 4+4 choir…

Pentamusic gets back on the trail of unreleased scores by selecting a beautiful soundtrack by Maestro Stelvio Cipriani from his thriller canon of the 70s, Qualcuno Ha Visto Uccidere, directed by Rafael Romero Marchant and starred Ray Milland, Sylvia Koscina and Ramiro Oliveros. The plot divides the movie in two halves, the first in which we see the commission of a violent crime, and in the second, an escalation of events that turn the movie into a real action movie.In 1973, Stelvio Cipriani - co…

We continue the series dedicated to TV series with the great Maestro Bruno Nicolai's score for Eleonora (1973), a two-part miniseries directed by Silverio Blasi and starring Giulietta Masina, Giulio Brogi and Roldano Lupi. Set in the middle of the 19th century, it's the story of a young Milanese girl, her unconventional boyfriend and her difficult relationship with her father. Symphonic, romantic, and nostalgic, Nicolai's music is, as usual, of great quality and class, featuring one of the most …

With the help of a brutal iron sword, forged in a volcanic fire he will be storming the lands imposing his rule up to the moment Ela and a group of rebels will find the way to contrast him.

Almost 40 years after its theatrical debut, Cabum and Beat Records release for the first time ever the complete score for the movie Alien 2 Sulla Terra (1980, Ciro Ippolito), one of the most obscure films in the Italian horror/sci-fi realm, an apocryphal sequel to the iconic Alien by Ridley Scott, released just a few months prior. One of the most sought-after soundtracks by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis fans, it is a prominent sample of the experimental style of the two composers that would featur…

Beat Records releases on CD the complete edition of Claudio Simonetti's original soundtrack from the movie "Nightmare beach – La spiaggia del terrore" directed in 1988 by Umberto Lenzi.

At that time only five selections were issued on a RCA compilation CD. Now available …

To describe Piero Umiliani's music, we have a word that often comes to mind and which the composer used to entitle one of his most beautiful cues: tensione (tension).Tension, depending on the circumstance to which we apply it, is a term with many meanings but which always expresses a condition of intense participation, of intellectual strife, of energy exerted in the pursuit of a goal.One of his lesser-known works, Blue Nude (1977) is a musically-rich effort that illustrates the artistic tension…

L'argent du ministre (1980) is a virtually unknown movie produced by Lorenzo Del Grande, an eccentric and wealthy tycoon from Monaco with a passion for cinema. Friend of the Roman publisher Franco De Gemini, Del Grande asked him to compose the score for the movie and the Italian Harmonica performer then asked M° Rizzati to complete the task. Since that period was particularly florid in a music genre that is very dear to the A&Rs of the Ddj series, it's easy to understand why this was chosen as t…

In 1980, Alfonso Brescia directed a weird sci-fi film starring Shirpa Lane, Venantino Venantini and the mythical Zork, a robot that's missing some gears that administer a planet full of Antalium (precious stuff, indeed) in a singular way. This is the plot upon which M° Giombini is called to compose a score, and considering the story, his strong experience in the field of experimental electronic music will prove to be the winning choice that will provide the movie with an enjoyable soundtrack. We…

With great pleasure we reopen the casket of unreleased stuff in order to resurrect a beautiful score composed by prolific Roman composer Stelvio Cipriani . La moglie giovane is a movie shot in 1974 by Giovanni D'Eramo that starred the gorgeous Marisa Mell together with Fraley Granger, Francisco Rabal, Helga Liné and Riccardo Salvino.
