The Dreambird
Is this recording an environmental activist art statement or ambient spa music? Maybe both? The fourth release from São Paulo label Lugar Alto is not a Brazilian production but it still has strong ties to the country, it is the psychotomimetically heuristic ambience of The Dreambird by Mitar Subotić (Suba) & Goran Vejvoda. The album was produced in Paris in 1987 and 5 years later was the first release by Suba in Brazil as a limited edition CD put out by the Brazilian Catholic label Paulinas COM…
Los Elementales - Fuerzas Magicas De La Naturaleza
*Limited edition of 400 copies in 4 colours numbered to 100 copies each.* Los Elementales- Fuerzas Magicas De La Naturaleza was composed and originally released in 1977, at the apex of Arco Iris’ prolific musical career.

If nature …

Miquela E Lei Chapacans
The first progressive girl group of the French Occitan language pop scene bring you folk funk, sun-baked bossa, Coltrane jazz and their own brand of punky “Dizco rural” against an untouched French Balearic backdrop spanning the late 70s and 80s.
If even the most assiduous of European record collectors consider the Occitan language music scene to be France’s best-kept secret then it’s as fair to say that the incredible multifaceted recordings of langue d’oc prog girl group Lei Chapacans has spent…
le Milleuna, pièce per Danza di Valeria Magli
This is easily the most frightening and naked recording by Greek vocalist Demetrio Stratos, scripted by poet Nanni Balestrini and later choreographed by Valeri Magli after his death. The text of Le Milleluna was 100 words, all beginning with the letter "s" and all of which had some sexual allusion or connotation. The show that Stratos performed was completely free of all academic exploration. Instead, he had internalized each of these words for an articulation original to the performance of the …
Concerto All Elfo 1978
* 500 copies, 180 gr. Blue vinyl *The lost live album by the late great Demetrio Stratos, Area's vocalist and leader. Recorded back in 1978, this album has been the missing title in the remastered reissue series on Cramps.
What Me Worry?
Temporary nicer price * 500 copies, 180 gr. Orange vinyl * Electric Frankenstein was the solo project of the multi instrumentalist Paolo Tofani who is best known for his work with the band Area. Tofani plays all the instruments by himself on this lone Electric Frankenstein album. The result is a highly satisfying mix of psychedelia and progressive rock, a guitar extravaganza with long spacey guitar solos by Tofani and all the instruments played by himself, the album will appeal to acid-psych lo…
Cenerentola E Il Pane Quotidiano
* First ever vinyl repress. Limited to 500 copies, 140 gr. Yellow Vinyl. Replica of the original, gatefold cover and printed inner * Definitely the best album of this Brazilian-born, Italian rock guitarist and songwriter, who skillfully blended excellent Italian rock of the mid-70's with some exotic Brazilian influences. Alberto Camerini was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and he stayed there until the age of eleven, when he relocated to Milan. There he soon became involved in rock music, first teami…
Quinto Stato
Temporary nicer price * High quality vinyl reissue with remastered sound. Transparent vinyl * Originally released in 1979 on Cramps. This is Arti E Mestieri's second album. More dynamic and inspired than their debut title The sound has not changed much in comparison to the previous album but it is slightly less raw and vocals prevent from getting much focus on instrumental prowess. Arguably there is less space for brass instrument and more vocalized sections. Drums are usually more aggressive …
A Fuoco
* 180 gr. Red Vinyl. Digitally remastered * Originally released in 1977. "Although Claudio Rocchi is probably better known for his earlier material on other labels, his offering on Cramps from 1977 A Fuoco is a good showcase for his own talents (vocals, synthesizers, songwriting, and production) as well as his knack for surrounding himself with top notch musicians. Ostensibly a pop-singer, his skillful mastery of dynamics and clever arrangements put him on a par with the pre-glam/pre-disco wor…
Viaggio

The Quietly Clouds And A Wild Crane

Transcodex
Jac Berrocal, David Fenech and Vincent Epplay are back with a true gem of an album: Transcodex. Turning more towards pop than in their beginnings, this fourth record follows the footsteps of their previous album, Exterior Lux. The trio seems limitless: they experiment with a large variety of styles (pop, dub, electronica, dark jazz), always colored by their very own touch. Jac Berrocal’s trumpet, richer than ever, plays over an ever-changing sonic landscape engineered by the duet of musicians/pr…
Songs Of Sunshine
Here we have another magical achievement of the early 70’s counterculture. Officially released in 1972 on the small imprint Westwood Recordings, the album has an intimate, predominantly acoustic flavor. Flutes, chimes and gentle organ sounds all over the place. Tales of faraway lands, sand, sea, castles, kings, queens and even Peter Pan dominates the scene, imposing a sort of ancestral feel. Rob Armstrong, the leader of the group, became a renowned luthier and you can hear the care and love of t…
