Born in Marseille in 1951, Michel Redolfi developed his sound creations in the United States where, at of the age of 21, he was guest resident at several major studios. In the mid 70’s he settled in San Diego, where the Center for Music Experiment (C…

After studying each device and making more or less hybrid connections, I chose to compose s…
Live in Montreux
* Green Vinyl Edition * Founded in the Italy centre town of Ancona, Agorà curiously debuted with a live album instead of a studio one: they played an almost-instrumental typical jazz-rock, and they were invited to play at the famous Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland (a place that is most remembered for the fire that inspired Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water"). That's where "Live in Montreux" was recorded, a four-track LP, one of which has been cut in two parts on the two sides of the album.…

Touching Your Feelings (LP)
After two years of preparation, we are thrilled to announce the reissue of the most precious hidden gems of Soul Jazz / Spoken Word albums from a key era. Originally released in 1974 as a private pressing of fewer that 100 copies, Touching Your Feelings by Jim Marks is a crucial missing piece of the proto-rap era lying firmly between Gil Scott Heron and Amiri Baraka, with whom he made a strong friendship. Jym Marks' mix of deep, expressive poetry and solid jazz sits on the edge of works by The L…

Originally part of a multimedia concert, a show involving actors, video, and scenography called “Móviles“.

Volume I (LP)
Tip! The Doubling Riders were born in the middle of the ’80s from the ashes of the great experimental / minimal wave project A.T.R.O.X. around the trio of Francesco Paladino, Pier Luigi Andreoni, and Riccardo Sinigaglia (Professor of Electronic composition at Milan’s Conservatory) . Starting from an electronic music approach and working freely with ethno, folk and wave elements, the sound of the Doubling Riders was extremely original and hard to classify.
Mostly quiet meditative stuff, with folk…
Analogy (Crystal Clear LP)
Limited 180gr. One of the rarest records from Italy, here in a faithful reproduction of the original LP artwork. The original pressing ran to approximately a thousand copies, some of them wrapped in a six-panel fold-out poster featuring the five band members naked. The record promptly vanished. Today a clean copy with the poster starts at three thousand euros and climbs without a clear ceiling. The music inside is almost beside the point for the market, which has decided that the cover alone ju…

Via (LP)
Tip! * 300 copies, comes with an extensive booklet * Limpe Fuchs’ first solo record came about by accident. Initially, Christoph Heemann invited the famous Anima duo to do a studio record in his home-town Aachen, but Paul Fuchs decided not to join in, so Limpe went on her own – and the recording sessions taking place in late 1986 and early 1987 turned out to become “via”, Limpe’s first solo-record and the (visible) starting point of her ongoing exceptional career as an internationally performing…
