Brazilian percussionist Naná Vasconcelos’s Saudades album, recorded in March 1979, was the culmination of a dream for a musician who had long yearned to hear the berimbau in an orchestral context. This ‘concerto’ for an innovative player of a traditional instrument was made possible with the creative input of Egberto Gismonti, here the arranger of the material for strings, as well as co-composer and supporting soloist.

This record marks a turning point in jazz history. It may be the earliest recorded example of what Ornette Coleman later called "free jazz," and it represents the first rumblings of the revolutionary movement which eventually shifted jazz thinking away from bebop.

"The Piano’s been one of the instruments Limpe Fuchs received an academic education for when attending the Music Academy in Munich during the early 1960’s. In the early 1970’s Friedrich Gulda, the world-famous classical pianist, who was eager to leave behind the orthodoxies, limitations and restrictions of the classical music world, got to know Limpe and was inspired by her fearless approach towards music. They started improvising and performing together and their musical dialogue lasted until t…

*2024 stock* Elliott Schwartz plays four of his compositions for solo piano and pre-recorded tape, a project that remains "a continuing attempt to enhance, expand, obscure, develop or otherwise modify the piano sonority and the act of piano performance, through electronics." In his improvisatory piece "Grand Concerto" he uses fragments from the Grieg, Tchaikovsky No. 1 and Liszt No. 1 piano concertos; it is as epic in scope as the classical favorites.

"Sky, the record company, were more than a little disappointed with the performance of Grosskopf's first solo effort "Synthesist", so there was no great sense of urgency as far as its successor was concerned. "they even halved my advance!" Grosskopf recalls. "Oceanheart" was released some six years after "Synthesist". "The album title reflects my love of transcendental meditation, of course it might be taken for watery esoterics." (A similar vibe was evident in the cover art, hence fresh artwork…

Huge Tip! Originally released in 2013 for the 40th anniversary of the cult 70’s horror film, only 500 copies of The Wicker Man 40th Anniversary Edition were pressed on black vinyl which have become highly sought after.  One of the maddest soundtracks you'll ever buy – a strange mix of folksy tunes, sound effects, and odd noisy bits – recorded for the equally odd film of the same name! The record is impossible to describe accurately, but it's a really dark one – strangely fragile at some moments,…

*2024 stock* "What could be more classic for all you horror-soundtracks-on-vinyl heads out there than a compilation of Hammer Horror themes eh?

*2024 stock* "‘Don’t Look Now’ a film that is now considered a key work in the horror genre of cinema and has caused some critics to reappraise it some thirty years after it’s original release. A guarded Pauline Kael writing in 1973 for The New Yorker wrote “the fanciest, most carefully assembled enigma yet put on screen.” Jay Cocks for Time wrote more enthusiastically “Don’t Look Now is a rich, complex and subtle experience that demands more than one viewing.” The film’s director Nicholas Roeg …

*2024 stock* "Silva Screen repress the soundtrack to 'The Living Planet', the sequel to David Attenborough’s groundbreaking 'Life On Earth'.

*2024 stock* "Mention The Avengers to people above a certain age - let’s be kind and say over 40 - and the famous Laurie Johnson theme music will get mentioned almost immediately. It’s as much about the show’s iconic status as Steed’s bowler hat or Mrs Peel’s fab outfits - all Biba and Quant. But as with all the best spy shows of the 1960s - and the strike rate was amazingly high - the music wasn’t just about having a great opening theme. Incidental scores also played a major role in developing …
