Anthology Of Contemporary Music From Greece
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 200 copies.* In ancient Greece, music played a central role in all areas of life, both public and private. We can only imagine how this music sounded. But there are many visual sources that can tell us who was playing which instruments and in which settings, as well as showing us that there were often people dancing together. Listening to "The M. band" by Pina Bounce, one seems to perceive a sonic glimpse into those ancient times, reverberating through…
W Labiryncie
*2022 stock.* The turn of decades, time of far-reaching social changes and of little, private dramas and joys. These key themes were picked by Paweł Karpiński and Wojciech Niżyński for the TV series which by some is now considered as iconic. Its soundtrack, with guitar and synthesizer sounds, is a perfect fit for the series vibe. One more reason to go into ‘the labyrinth of human issues’.
“W labiryncie” TV series, produced between 1988 and 1991, was the first Polish soap opera used as lenses to …
Sound Inventions
*In process of stocking.* The second Be With foray into the archives of revered German library institution Selected Sound is one of our favourites, Sound Inventions from Klaus Weiss Rhythm And Sounds, originally released in 1979.
From the notoriously strong mind of Niagara drummer / library-funk overlord Klaus Weiss, Sound Inventions is loaded with tripped out studio funk-freakery, mad samples and swaggering abstract funk grooves. From dramatic deep disco with dark Italo/Moroder leanings to heav…

Zombi (Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film)
Thanks to the brilliant debut “Night of the Living Dead” (1968), director and screenwriter George Romero is considered the creator of the ‘modern zombie’, a metaphor for the profoundly consumerist and capitalist society we live in, that was perfectly shown years later in “Dawn of the Dead” (1978); this movie was distributed in Italy as “Zombi”, with a different editing made by Dario Argento and a soundtrack once again composed by legendary Goblin.
“Zombi” is a very varied album where the electr…

Battlefield 1986
Music for animation cyber-noir film "Battlefield" (based on same-titled book by Stephen King). Animated films soundtrack is one of the most substantial aspects of Volodymyr Bystryakov's career.

The work itself reached the Soviet reader in 1981 for the first time and was King's first publication in the Ussr, as well as "Battleg…
Dinner at Eight
Reissue of this amazing 1986 album where drum machines meet improv jazz. Wayne Horvitz gathers together his drum machine and synths along with his talented friends -Elliot Sharp included- for this really original record that is both composed and improvised. An obscure gem by one of the most spirited musicians to populate NY 80's avant-garde, a golden era for vanguard attitudes and sounds. Horvitz, keyboard player at Naked City (along with John Zorn, Bill Frisell, and Fred Frith) had classical mu…
Analog Sensitivity
When a synth master like Steve Moore joins forces with KPM, magic must materialise. And so it does with Analog Sensitivity: cinematic, enigmatic synthscapes to both haunt and heal. With the clue right there in the title, Analog Sensitivity is built up from the quieter aspects of the sound Steve has been exploring and evolving for over 20 years. It’s a layering of ambivalently dense and airy, muffled and echoing sounds created on his collection of synthesizers and other electronic music hardware.…

The Age of Electronicus
In astounding gatefold sleeve, tip! Dick Hyman’s 1969 opus, The Age of Electronicus - a visionary, funky excursion into the vast potential presented by the newly developed Moog synthesizer - stands as a shining example of the post-war avant-garde’s infiltration of the popular realm. Awash with creative optimism about the role of progress, change, and technology in society at large, it’s one of those obscurities that’s long been championed by diggers across the world, but has never fully gotten i…

Highlights of Vortex
The brainchild of visual artist Jordan Belson and electronics polymath Henry Jacobs, the Vortex Experiments ran from 1957 to 1960, first at San Francisco’s Morrison Planetarium and later at the SF Museum of Art. The very name of these events announced their aim: a swirling totality of sensory experience. Around Belson’s richly-colored visuals – making use of the planetarium’s entire dome and featuring luminous, sharply geometric imagery projected through an array of devices – Jacobs ringed a sy…
