The first side of the LP p…

From the 1950s, Masaaki Takano (1927-2007) worked as a freelance "sound planner," mainly creating sound effects for stage productions. In the mid-1980s he began performances called "Sound Play" where he would perform on his own self-created sound instruments and his collection of ethnic instruments. Growing out of his work with sound effects, he became obsessed with the recording of natural sounds from the 1970s onwards, and this album "Shizukutachi" is a record of a high-quality recording of wa…

2025 stock "Currently out of print on CD, Michael Yonkers's Grimwood finally receives its long-overdue vinyl re-release (with download code included).

For years I hunted for some trace, find or legacy of this band from the deep South, from Martina Franca, Taranto, to be precise. I had little and vague information: their participation in the Festa della vita in San Paolo di Martina Franca in 1973, their presence at Giangià, also in Martina, a typical underground club of the 1970s, and little else. A band fading between the historical reality of the 1970s and the mythology of the alternative scene. Just when I had resigned myself to giving up se…
