Black Cat
Untameable Anatolian feline fuzzy folk funk finally uncaged. A spontaneous Turkish-Norwegian-Dutch expedition, where seafaring jazz cats entangled with fugitive roadies and Tee-Set mods, makes the story of Durul Gence’s highly anticipated / ill-fated Asia Minor Mission group the stuff of lost-rock legend and remains one of Turkish music’s great “what ifs?” The black cat is finally out of the bag. Having forged a celebrity status as one of Turkey’s premier percussionists and bandleaders, Durul Ge…
Wilfred Percussion
**600 copies** Born in the 1940s in Istanbul, Italian painter and percussionist Wilfred Copello had, from the onset, a predisposition for exotic sounds. Indeed, his interest for latin music was manifest early on in his career. In 1970 he was an uncredited member of the Italian band Latins 80 who released the same year the LP Foglie gialle all’imbrunire which has now gained cult status. From that period onwards, Wilfred settled in Rome where he gained an excellent reputation as a studio player; h…

Plastic Dance 2: Domestic Synth Pop & Patchbay Punk
... Let's talk about the dangerous counterrevolutionaries who went out
and bought a cheap synth and a rudimentary drum machine. The ones that
got what 'punk' was really about. The democratization of art . . . Sniffing Glue said learn three chords and form a band, Throbbing Gristle said why learn any chords at all... I am an artist because I say I am. More Marcel Duchamp than Malcolm McLaren.
So, sisters and brothers, who do you think led the counter-revolution?
Well I'll tell you. It was the…
Femina Ridens
The two most danceable tracks taken from Stelvio Cipriani’s cult OST, now finally for the first time on a 7-inch record. “Femina Ridens” features an exhilarating and ‘arioso’ orchestration which accompanies the beguiling voice of Olympia (one of the female vocalists of I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni), whose awkward British diction turns a feminist lyric into a powerful and irresistibly sensuous song. On the flip side, “Sophisticated Shake” is a sumptuous jewel of psychedelic jazz in which Edd…

Hammond g…
Cleopatra Jones (Soundtrack) LP
One of the best of the blacksploitation scores of the early 70s – a masterpiece of music that we rate every bit as high as Shaft or Superfly – maybe even higher! The music here is incredible – a surprising funky turn for JJ Johnson, who most folks know for his straighter jazz work – and like Marvin Gaye, Barry White, and others who were surprising the world with their ability to score music for a full film during the early 70s, JJ really knocks it out of the park with this one – coming up with a…
