Lanquidity
** 2CD version is housed in foil digipak** Strut present the definitive edition of Sun Ra’s classic ‘Lanquidity’ album from 1978 . Recorded overnight at Bob Bank’s Blank Tapes on 17th July 1978 after the Arkestra had appeared on Saturday Night Live, the album is unique in the Ra catalogue. “Most critics felt that it was more of a fusion-inspired record,” explains Michael Ray. “As the name suggests, the album is liquid and languid.” Bob Blank continues, “Musically, it was very ad hoc and freeform…

Six vintage cinema classics scored by famous BAFTA nominated Croatian composer Alfi Kabiljo are compiled here for the first time in one album. At the time of the release of this record famous Croatian composer Alfi Kabiljo will be celebrating his 84th birthday. One might think that this can be an occasion to slow down and reflect on the past, as many of his colleagues would do, but this certainly does not apply to versatile and busy musician. He is still working, writing music, conducting, arra…
Decadance
NEP was a loose multimedia collective formed in 1982 Zagreb, ex-Yugoslavia. The founder Dejan Krsic collaborated with various artists in a quest of re-thinking the stale concepts of art history, position of the author and the barriers between pop and elitist high culture. Heavily influenced by Walter Benjamin and Andy Warhol in theory and Brian Eno and Kraftwerk in music, Krsic created NEP as an umbrella term (meaning Nova Evropa) of diverse rule-breaking activities, covering graphic design, mus…

The Cock
Frigidaire Tango's The Cock was released in 1982 on Young Records. At that point their earlier primitive punk influence had merged with different influences, namely krautrock and glam, as well as a hint of prog rock, which resulted in a brand new sound, very personal and sought-after even in the new wave era. In September 2010, The Cock was listed by the french magazine Tsugi as one of the most underrated 100 records in the history of contemporary rock.

"Caught in Flux" originally released in 1981 on Cherry Red and reissued here in its original format LP + 12" is their second album. The result of a one-take stud…
Fear And Pleasure - Retrospective 1980-1989
Interesting, lesser-known Italian band Eazycon are quite rightly compiled for Fear And Pleasure - Retrospective 1980-1989. Delighted and surprised to see that a version of Art Ensemble of Chicago’s ‘Noonah’ is here alongside Eazycon’s sometimes art-rocky, sometimes sitar-tinged sound. Variety is always welcome.
