Science Fiction Dance Party
Back in 1968 a pair of Germanic behind-the-scenes sound librarians called Horst Ackermann and Heribert Thusek left a tiny, but indelible, pinprick on the history of German Pop in the misshaped form of a sexy horror cash-in concept album called Dracula’s Music Cabinet. Shelved at a micro-cosmic axis where Krautrock meets easy listening meets psychedelia the delayed reaction of this mutant concoction eventually exploded in the mid-1990s in the hands of a generation of ‘record diggers’ sending curr…
Dracula's Music Cabinet

Hong Kong Score
For their third release, after a few years of hard diggin’ and historical researches, they went deeper with Hong Kong Score, an introspection into the music in the chinese Cinema industry. A selection of tracks from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan, specially produced for movies and illustrations. The result is a compilation of 12 totally unknown gems sung mostly in mandarin and cantonese, from real deep instrumentals, Hip Hop breaks, Ethio style crazy drums, to heavy Bass à la Alain Goraguer (S…
Gli Intoccabili
“Gli Intoccabili” (The Untouchables) is a particular semi-unknown movie that belongs to a very crowded underground panorama made of international productions realized between the '60's and the '70's. Some few lucky ones immediately became 'instant classics', while many others remained in some dusty closed drawer for years, just to be rediscovered lately and being considered a cult. To this second category belongs this film directed by Giuliano Montaldo in the US and screened for the first time o…
Adua E Le Compagne
*2022 stock* In Adua e le Compagne, a desperate drama with no way out, Piero Piccioni's jazz is the master, a constant counterpoint to the story even in its most excruciating moments (Adua's revolt in the pre-final, dressed as a prostitute in front of the clients of the trattoria to discredit the scoundrel who would like to continue exploiting her). A precise relationship of collision between image and music that would characterize much of Pietrangeli's later cinema (La visita, and of course the…
Metti, Una Sera A Cena
*2022 stock* Finally, justice has been done and maestro Ennio Morricone has managed to bring home the coveted Oscar statuette. Multi-awarded and acclaimed by a vast public, the Roman composer had come close five times, but had never been on stage to receive the award for an extraordinary career.Among his unforgettable compositions was Metti una sera a cena with which he won his first Nastro d'Argento in 1970. The film, based on a play (1967) by the same director G. Patroni Griffi, tells the stor…

La Morte bussa due volte
*2022 stock* A stellar cast doesn’t always guarantee a magnificent film and, from a strictly cinematographic point of view, “La morte bussa due volte” (Death knocks twice) is one of many examples of this kind; This thriller was in fact quickly forgotten at the time (1969), despite the presence of the charismatic Adolfo Celi and the beautiful Anita Ekberg.However, even for less ‘important’ productions, the likes of Morricone or, in this case, Piero Umiliani, were sometimes bothered: composers but…

Soothing Sounds for Baby, vols. 1-3
The legendary proto-minimalistic Soothing Sounds For Baby series by Raymond Scott were pressed in limited quantities and have been out of print for almost over a decade. Designed for babies one to six months old, the first volume of Raymond Scott's dreamy, engaging Soothing Sounds for Baby series emphasizes soft synth tones, repetitive melodies, and relatively simple arrangements. Keeping in mind a young baby's attention span, Vol. 1 also contains shorter, more numerous pieces than the following…
