Quatermass and the Pit
Originally a BBC serial, Quatermass and the Pit (released in the United States as Five Million Years To Earth) was made by Hammer Film Productions in 1967 as a sequel to their earlier films The Quatermass Experiment and Quatermass 2. The film, hailed as an early classic of the sci-fi genre, begins when excavating workers discover five million year old skeletal remains in the London Underground tunnels, followed by a metallic object they believe to be an unexploded bomb. When rocket scientist…

Electronic
Originally released in 1969, this LP features music by BBC Radiophonic Workshop members Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson alongside David Vorhaus, an American born composer and musician with whom they formed the experimental electronic cult band White Noise. It was put out by the Standard Music Library label, set up in 1968 by Bucks Music and London Weekend Television, which supplied production music for use in TV, commercials, radio and film. Many of these tracks were used in the 1960…
Fantastic World
Italian reissue label enters the fray as Orbeatize makes a powerful first move by looking back to the 80s and the wild experimentation of jazz drummer Armando Bertozzi. Having already made a distinctive entrance with two previous albums, Bertozzi's final masterstroke was Fantastic World, a daring body of work originally released in 1985. Rich with African percussion and wayward synthesis, this is far from a traditional record, and its hefty second hand price tag makes it more than worthy …
Malefices
2017 repress. Cacophonic presents Maléfices, an outstanding film score by Pierre Henry, often overlooked in lists of the composer's work. The score is a dream record for fans of early electronics, female vocal manipulation, and horror soundtracks. Widely recognized as one of the original sonic architects of the movement known as musique concrète (having joined Pierre Schaeffer's initiative as early as 1949), Pierre Henry was arguably the first musician to entertain the notion of this defiant mus…
Musique Pour Le Futur
Restocked, reduced price. We Release Whatever The Fuck We Want Records present a reissue of Nino Nardini's e Musique Pour Le Futur, originally released in 1970. An experimental, musique concrete, sci-fi masterpiece, available for the first time since 1970. Originally recorded for Crea Sound Ltd., a sub-label of Louis Delacour's Neuilly imprint, Musique Pour Le Futur finds the French composer, arranger, producer, possible time-traveler, and all around music library legend Nino Nardini experimenti…
Filmmusik 2
LP version. Bureau B present part two of their Filmmusik double release. In 1975, Conrad Schnitzler recorded various pieces of music to accompany films which had yet to be made. Fittingly, he labelled this collection of songs Filmmusik. Only one of the tracks - "Gute Fahrt" ("Nice Journey") - would ultimately be paired with a film, now traceable on the internet for all to see. The music is included on Part 1 of Bureau B's Filmmusik double release (BB 244CD/LP, 2016), erroneously entitled "02/198…
Impact - Synthesized Sound And Music
Looks like this is the last title of the year folks - and what a year it’s been !!! - enjoy the break for the next few weeks, sit back and spend some quality time with the Creel Pones on hand, or go back and check out some of the ones you’ve missed. I’m told that Mr. P.C. C.P. will resume his regular schedule halfway into January 2007 with a pretty ridiculous set of new reproductions. Until then... Here we have a 1971 Vedette library LP by Armando Sciascia recorded at the "3D - Electronic Music …
Espace et Actualité, Lunar Probe
Issued simultaneously in 1967 as eye-popping Musique pour l’Image - subtitled “Espace Hostilité Apesanteur Sciences • Danger” - & Music De Wolfe 10”s, this collection of Musique Concrète & experimental compositions marked the vinyl debut - discounting the “internal” release of excerpts of his work via the “Solfège de l’Objet Sonore” 3LP the same year - of François Bayle - pre-dating his Philips Prospective 21º Siècle lp “l’Oiseau Chanteur” by a good year - issuing two pieces of formative Musique…
April Orchestra Vol.5
Impeccable short-stab collection of bizarrely prescient rhythmic synthesizer metallics from Amedeo “Di Jarrell” Tommasi (rumor has it that Di Jarrell is his wife’s maiden) - an Italian jazz pianist that, from the mid-70s on, dabbled in crushing analogue devastation(s) and assorted proto-industrial moves across a series of libraries for Cenacolo, Orly, Costanza, and CBS Disques France’s “April Orchestra” series.Each side here presents three more “lyrical” numbers (still quite well produced & arra…
Electronic Dance (From The Walkabout Soundtrack)
Accompanying the premiere release of the lost soundtrack to the 1971 film Walkabout, The Roundtable offer a further lost piece of music associated with Nicolas Roeg’s seminal New Wave masterpiece. In addition to John Barry’s spellbinding original score, several pieces of popular music can be heard throughout the film transmitting from a portable radio, an obvious symbol of western civilization as the protagonists wander disorientated in the ancient tribal Australian wilderness. Here we have docu…
The Last Wave (1977 Original Soundtrack)
The Last Wave (also known as Black Rain in the US) was the final chapter in a trilogy of films scripted and directed by the leading auteur of the Australian New Wave, Peter Weir. Beginning in 1974 with the absurdist black comedy-horror The Cars That Ate Paris, and followed a year later by the lush gothic mystery Picnic At Hanging Rock, The Last Wave was a landmark in existential horror. Sitting alongside other Australian eco-terror films (e.g. Long Weekend) the film featured a haunting electroni…
Walkabout (1971 Ost) LP
A lost paradise, a lost innocence, and a lost culture; these are the dominant themes presented in Nicolas Roeg’s 1971 masterpiece Walkabout, a survival story of two children lost in the scorched Australian wilderness. Together with other seminal Australian surrealistic outback films, (e.g. Wake In Fright) Walkabout was a film that reshaped the Australian film industry and defined the country’s New Wave. On the cusp of the film’s 45th anniversary it is pertinent to observe that the film’s origina…
Climax
Restocked, reduced price (!) First ever commercial release for this ultra-rare Holy Grail 1972 Library/Production Music LP, Haunting, profound and hypnotic! First reissue ever of one of the holy-grail of the amazing Italian library music Octopus. Originally released in 1963, Climax is a killer studio session featuring Amedeo Minghi (vocals), Piero Montanari (bass) and Roberto Conrado (drums). An incredible collection of psych jazz funk tunes with crazy moog sounds, violent drums and deep bass
Metamorphoses
Unusual Russian library LP of electronic interpretations of ‘classical’ pieces by Claude Debussy and Monteverdi among others. Yuri Bogdanov features on every track, on some tracks together with Edward Artemiev, composer for Andrei Tarkovsky and others. Other tracks feature Vladimir Martynov. The record is made on the basis of a kaleidoscope: it interspersed with pieces of various styles, genres and eras. For example, these pieces the authors wanted to show a variety of ways to use a synthesizer,…
Opens the Seven Gates of Transcendental Consciousness
CD Edition. First reissue of this stunning, dark, mysterious instrumental 1972 work by Wilburn Burchette, mystery of 1970s experimental guitar music. In place of regular songs there are several layers of chord and melody patterns shifted upon each other, performed on a semi-distorted electric guitar with a strong echo effect. A few other instruments may have been used as well, but it's also possible that there are only electric guitars on this album. Even the oscillating buzz of "Transformation"…
Amore
One of the rarest Vangelis soundtracks of all surfaces on vinyl for the first time - and it’s an absolute peach. 'Amore' was released in 1973 and was Vangelis' second collaboration with movie director Henry Chapier, after recording a score for the highly obscure film 'Sex Power' a year earlier. While an LP was released for the 'Sex Power' score, in very limited quantities, nothing was released of the music for ‘Amore’, nor was the film viewable until it's eventual release on DVD a few years ba…
Synthi Time
**CD version** Synthi Time is perhaps one of the most suitable albums - within Umiliani's incredibly vast discography - to fully appreciate the composing and experimental genius of the Maestro. For once away from the classic soundtracks that made him popular, this project veers away also from refined works of library music such as Genti e paesi del mondo (People and countries of the world) or Problemi d'oggi (Today's issues), released under the moniker of Zalla. In this case, we like to imagine …
