*2025 repress* Produced by David Briggs (Neil Young, Alice Cooper) and recoreded at famous  Wally Heider Studio 3 in Hollywood, CA during 1969, their self-titled album features ten original compositions, with essential contributions from the four members of the band. Summerhill certainly spotted a late-1960s West Coast vibe, including Hendrix-Rock style ("Bring Me Around"), sunshine pop ("Soft Voice") and even a touch of ‘flower-jazz’ ("What Can I Say").

Sicilians Flea debuted in 1971 under the name Flea on the Honey and an album indebted to the British pop-psych scene. Their ranks include brothers Agostino (drums) and Antonio Marangolo (vocals and keyboards), Carlo Pennisi (guitar, vocals) - all future members of the legendary Goblin! - and Elio Volpini (bass, vocals, saxophone), the latter later merged into L'Uovo di Colombo. If the debut album can be considered at least partly immature and derivative, however excellently produced and structur…

Hailing from Milan, the Alusa Fallax were born in 1969 out of the Adelfi, and released their first single in the same year, followed by a second shortly thereafter.Also in 1969, one of the two Guido in the lineup released a 45 under the name Guido degli Alusa Fallax ("Guardarti negli occhi" for the West Side). The group stayed together for many years, and their only album was released in 1974 by Fonit; a beautiful album, which went sadly unnoticed, in the best tradition of Italian progressive ro…

Hailing from the city of Ancona, Agorà was founded in 1974 and, thanks to a simple demo, managed to capture the attention of the organizers of the legendary Montreux festival (which many will remember for the famous fire that inspired Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water"). Their technical skills enabled the group to arrive prepared on stage at the event, and to perform an outstanding performance immortalized in this historic LP, which also constitutes the first case of an Italian band's recording …

CD version. We Release Jazz present a reissue from Geneva's Boillat Thérace Quintet, the My Greatest Love album, featuring bebop and hard-bop legend Benny Bailey and available for the first time since 1975. Galvanized by the creation of the Montreux Jazz Festival in the late '60s and lively local scenes, jazz music was healthy and booming in Switzerland in the 1970s. One band that beautifully captured this energy was Jean-François Boillat and RaymondThérace's Boillat Thérace Quintet whose self-t…

Big Tip! *200 copies * In the mid-70s in Northern New Jersey, some friends and I formed an ensemble called Atomic Squawk, with which we used our extremely limited musical techniques to play the sorts of whacked-out sounds about which none of our fucking peers gave a rat's ass. “Funny” talking blues, free form skronk, vaguely detourned covers of Beefheart and the Velvets -- these were our stocks in trade, and much happy time was whiled away in Randy Charles' basement drinking and making noise, si…

Shidaiqu literally means "songs of the era", a term used to describe a hybrid musical genre that first began permeating through the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai in the late 1920s. Blending western pop, jazz, blues and Hollywood-inspired film soundtracks with traditional Chinese elements, the shidaiqu represented a musical and cultural merging that would go on to shape a golden age of Chinese popular song & film in the pre-communism interwar period. Waiting for Your Return brings together a wide…

When Angels Speak of Love, released in 1966 on Sun Ra's Saturn label, is a rarity, with limited pressings (150 copies, by one estimate), which were sold thru the mail and at concerts and club dates. The tracks were taped in New York during two 1963 sessions at the Choreographer's Workshop, a rehearsal space/recording den with warehouse acoustics. Ra spent countless hours at the CW from 1961 to 1964 sharpening the Arkestra during exhaustive musical huddles. John Corbett calls this "one of the mos…

Ahead of his first public appearance conducting a symphon…

Livy Ekemezie’s Friday Night is widely recognised by DJs and afro-funk aficionados as a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) grail record. It is one of those rare dance music albums that sounds like a record of its’ time but also has a timeless quality that makes each listen an immensely rewarding experience. Fueled by teen spirit, every track slaps leaving little or no opportunity to skip. The song concepts circle around sweaty, afropolitan nightly excursions into the nightclubs of Aba, Port Harcou…

Deluxe LP housed in metallic silver tip-on jacket with gloss film laminate finish, matte pigment stamping and two printed inner sleeves. When it was first released in 1997, White Heaven founder You Ishihara’s solo debut Passivité seemed to vanish into the ether, going largely unnoticed; the scant coverage it did receive in the Japanese music press was confused or even dismissive, and it hardly reached an overseas audience at that moment just before the online music era. It was released by the sh…

West Coast blues rock act Tripsichord Music Box were part of San Francisco’s psychedelic underground during the late 1960s and early 70s. Discovered by Matthew Katz, who brokered success for Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape and It’s A Beautiful Day, Tripsichord’s debut long player somehow faded into obscurity, despite David Zandonatti’s inspired songwriting, his gripping lead guitar licks and some fine Hammond work from Oliver McKinney. The expanded edition has five sought-after bonus tracks, maki…

A slow building, dread filled bass rumble that gradually builds in intensity before you release you're surrounded by dense, crunching textures. Originally released on cassette in an edition of 30 copies, which was the last Less Than Zero cassette and last release for almost 10 years.

An icy cold blast of Italian harsh noise from Gabriele Giuliani, across two tracks of blown out electronics and feedback. Originally released as a cassette on Less Than Zero in 1996 and presented in a digipak case with a replication of the original layout.

2025 repress. “Contamination” was released in 1980 as a soundtrack for the eponymous horror/science fiction film, during what probably was the most prolific period in Goblin’s career, even if the band had already been abandoned by guitarist Massimo Morante and keyboardist Claudio Simonetti. Unkonwn by most listeners, it’s a release that deserves more attention, since it shows a wide range of music styles (Jazz, funk, rock, electronic) and once again Goblin’s ability in writing film scores.

*2025 much needed repress!!! 200 copies limited edition* Glow World is Rod Modell's new project resulting from his collaboration with Taka Noda. The duo delivers what could be an example of perfect elegance and musical refinement, but the resulting sounds are once again dirtied, ruined and ravaged by a noise capable of deafening us, sounds that come from afar, that seem to fade away but suddenly illuminate the world around us, which lands on us and which no longer belongs to us, leaving us lost …

Tip! *50 copies limited edition* "Austrian sound artist Matthias Urban crafted the two 20-minute, side-long tracks on SiAl out of field recordings he made in Iceland a few years ago. His source sounds are often recognizable, filled with running water, chirping birds, and wafting wind. What makes SiAl so compelling is the way Urban sequences those sounds, creating a subliminal narrative where each aural event feels like a new chapter in a story. There’s a stretch on side two that builds palpable …

*2025 much needed repress!!!* Music For Bus Stations is an astonishing work that pours into the soul of those allowing themselves to be transported in a dimension where sound turns into background noise. Sound becomes part of us, of our movements, our thoughts, our looks and our silences. There is no reason for resistance. Let's be silent. The noise around us is quite good. "Generative sonic backdrop for bus stations. Designed to enhance space and portray a mod of progressiveness, grandeur, and …

Carefully constructed aural rituals from T.A.G.C., this album maps new realms in the area of sensual electronic music. Founder Adi Newton (Clock DVA) uses The Anti Group as an outlet for his research in psycho-acoustic music. "Iso-Erotic Calibration" explores the potent topic of human sexuality. Recorded over a period of three years, this could be considered on of their more "accessible" albums. Originally released in 1994 (Side Effects, the label of Lustmord, Musica Maxima Magnetica, and Adi's …

*150 copies limited edition* Agnus formed in 1973 in Santa Fe, Argentina, but it wasn’t until 1980 that they managed to release their sole magnus opus Pinturas Y Expresiones, the most expensive (3k) prog album that was ever released in Argentina.  This is a unique blend of symphonic prog with 2 faces, equally split between the 2 sides, one with a folky edge, punctuated by aethereal pastoral vocals in an intimate dialogue with flute and violin, and another packed with wandering psychedelic guitar…
