Il Tempo Della Locusta
*2022 stock.* Reissue of the 1998 "cult" release on Malignant Records / Black Plagve.Cazzodio was the first incarnation of P/S, now recording under the Naxal Protocol monicker and a member of the Italo-Japanese unit CazzoKraft. A hidden gem in the vast tradition of Italian industrial, sold out for a decade and a half, and finally available again, "Il Tempo della Locusta" was a seminal album, a precursor of a strand of rhythmic power electronics that became more popular in the new millennium. A c…
Metrodora
180 gr. Red Vinyl. Digitally remastered at 192 khz and 24 bit. From the original master tapes * From the original master tapes, 1st time rpressed on LP. Mere words can’t describe the impact of an album where the only instrument is the voice of Demetrio Stratos (actually, there are few synthesizer inserts played by Paolo Tofani). Originally released in 1976: a unique work where Demetrio Stratos makes any kind of experiments and sounds with his voice, reaching and going over the limit of human cap…
Azimut
* 500 copies. 180 gr. Red vinyl, 50th anniversary edition * First album from the one of the best Italian jazz-rock band (formed in Rome in 71), and the first of a few masterpieces in a row, all of them being distinctive from one another. Perigeo has their sound somewhere between Free Jazz, Soft Machine, Nucleus and Miles Davis' Bitches Brew period. Rising on spacey noises, the sublime Posto Di Non Dove starts to grab you with a quiet electric piano over a Floyd-like organ and Tommaso’s superb …
Amarena
* First ever vinyl repress. Limited to 500 copies, 180 gr. Red Vinyl * Lucio Fabbri is probably best known for his tenure as violinist with PFM in their post-Passpartù period, and with Claudio Rocchi, and also for some of the work he's done with Demetrio Stratos. As a violinist, Fabbri has an extraordinary fluid and adaptable style, centered somewhere between jazz and folk-rock. His only solo album Amarena (originally released on Cramps) from 1978 comes off as a bit of a mixed bag with differen…
Felicita
“Whether it is traditional or contemporary, we need to be authentic,” says Gözen Atila who performs as Anadol. “I don't claim that I am authentic, but this is what I want to achieve.” A sense of authentic exploration, introspection and celebration coats every inch of Anadol’s latest album. After 2019’s Uzun Havalar, the Turkish artist returns with an album that continues to explore a variety of deeply embedded musical traditions while also hurtling into new terrain.
The music and influences - a…

An enchanted exploration of unusual source synthesis, electro-acoustic arrangements, and found sound, Advanced Myth is its own cosmos expanding in real time. Newly mastered from definitive mixes by Stephan Mathieu, and available for the first time on vinyl.
In the absence of conventional structure, it’s shifts in spirit that provide Advanced Myth’s emotive signposti…
Hattie Cooke
*In process of stocking.* Third Kind Records release Hattie Cooke's debut album anew on 180g white vinyl. We originally released this on cassette in 2016 and it quickly became a sought-after fan favourite as well as our most requested vinyl reissue.
Since it’s 2016 cassette release Hattie has released two successful LPs and developed something of a following for her combination of catchy but candid alt-folk songwriting with New Order-like synth pop textures. This debut remains one of the most co…
Cosi' Come Sei
*500 copies limited edition pink vinyl* "Così come sei' is a 1978 film directed by Alberto Lattuada, a sentimental drama starring the two leads Marcello Mastroianni and Nastassja Kinski, at the time of filming still very young but already praised for her acting skills.
The soundtrack composed, orchestrated and directed by Ennio Morricone is therefore steeped in romantic atmospheres, and celestial melodies drawn from wind instruments set to symphonic pop gems and embellished on more than one occa…

Recently re- stored and released on Blu-Ray courtesy of Arrow Films as part of their latest Giallo boxset, the unofficial follow-up to AMUCK! is starting to gain new fans after years of obscurity and poorly transferred DVD’s.

Velluto Nero
*In process of stocking. Limited Edition of 300 copies.* Quartet Records, in collaboration with Universal Music Publishing Italia and GDM, presents the premiere release of the score by Alberto & Dario Baldan Bembo for the cult classic starring Laura “Emanuelle Nera” Gemser.
Shot mostly on location in Egypt, Velluto Nero uses clever stunt casting by pairing ebony beauty Laura Gemser with 20-year old French model Annie Belle, who was best known for her slender figure, porcelain complexion and clo…
The Faust Tapes
There’s something perversely fabulous about the thought of this warped masterwork wandering into 60,000 unsuspecting British homes in 1973. Faust’s second-and-a-half album hit the shops to celebrate their signing to the nascent Virgin Records, who were looking to take advantage of the zeitgeist for German music at that time. Undeterred by the fact the band’s unwillingness to engage with the commercial landscape had seen them dropped from Polydor, Branson and co cooked up a suitably spectacular m…
Orillas Distantes / Distant Shores
Mario Verandi’s music goes beyond music. It’s electronic. It’s also theater, dance, sound art, film, radio. In fact, Verandi has such a strong sense of dramatic personality, and his music is so evocative, that you’ll find yourself in a musical theater. You’ll hear percussion instruments from Brazil. You’ll hear the sounds of Barcelona, with its street bustle, guitars, and rhythms, in your living room. He evokes a kind of flamenco that you’ll rarely hear, with suggestions of guitars, the dancing …
Toiminnan Aattona
*2022 stock.* Toiminnan aattona translates as “On the Eve of Action”. The basic tracks for the album were already recorded in 2012 by Sami Sänpäkkilä (Es, Fonal Records) and Jan Anderzén (Tomutonttu, Kemialliset Ystävät). The legendary Goodiepal whistled on two tracks during his visit in Finland. The album was put on hold for many years due to other projects. In 2017 both Sami and Jan listened to the album and decided that this must be released. Additional violins and vocals by Sanna Komi and sa…
Live In Praha 1964
A previously unpublished recording of the Krzysztof Komeda Quintet's performances at the first jazz festival in Prague in 1964. An important, significant stop in the jazz career of the legendary pianist and composer appears on disc more than half a century after its recording. And it continues to delight.
Krzysztof Komeda was received extremely enthusiastically in Prague. His original Quintet, by the way, played at an incredibly high level, electrifying the audience gathered in Prague's Lucerna.…
Penguin Bids
*2022 stock.* Hot, hot and even hotter! Thrilling big-band recordings from the 1960s, made with the Polish Radio Dance Orchestra… The music is full of energy and swing, and is an evidence of Jerzy Milian’s artistry as an arranger, and above all, as a great vibraphone player.
After Edward Czerny took over the leadership of the Polish Radio Dance Orchestra in 1959, he took it to a level unattainable to his predecessors. Until 1974 he regularly performed with the Orchestra in Poland and in other Ea…
Živí Se Diví: Live In Bratislava 1975
What is the most successful marriage of Fender and Moog in the history of music? "Živí se Diví. Live in Bratislava 1975” is a unique live album from Jazz Q, the legends of Czechoslovakian jazz-rock. The material presents a group in one of its best incarnations, from time of cult compilation "Jazzrocková Dílna” (1975). This dynamic material in excellent radio quality comes from the private archives of Martin Kratochvíl, who entrusted GAD Records with the rights to his music legacy. First released…
Zimna Kąpiel
The history of music largely consists of the word "if." For if Boguslaw "Dizzy" Rudzinski had not emigrated to Sweden in the mid-1960s, the history of Polish jazz might have looked very different. And the songs that appear on the album "Cold Bath" more than half a century after recording - could successfully fill one of the volumes of the "Polish Jazz" series.
Boguslaw Rudzinski, despite his great activity on the music scene of the late 1950s and early 1960s, quickly fell into oblivion after emi…
Optima Fide (1968-70 • More Belgian Scores - Third Stream Tales)
The Belgian jazz orchestra run by BRT radio was one of Europe's most interesting workshops, allowing composers to experiment at will with the sound or structure of works. Jerzy Milian exploited the possibilities of this composition to its absolute limits, and "Optima Fide," the eleventh installment in the "Jerzy Milian Tapes" series, chronicles this turbulent period in his career. Beginning in the mid-1960s, Milian regularly wrote large forms bordering on jazz and avant-garde for Belgian radio. …
