Amalgamation
Number seven on the Japrocksampler Top 50, available again for the first time in over a decade! This preposterous piece of psychedelic avant-jazz sounds like the work of aliens, each with only one foot in our universe. Propelled by cacophonous brassy blasts, volleys of machine-gunning, ecstatically 'Light Fantastic' rhythms and moments of Teo Macero-style 'Mixing Concrète' (during which the whole track becomes consumed by waves of new sound); the result is the most singular mash-up of inappropri…
Macchina maccheronica
"Macchina maccheronica" is the Stormy Six groundbreaking album from 1980. Driving free jazz + prog as always. Available in BTF's own series of italian progressive CD reissues, with the usual deluxe packaging and gatefold papersleeve cover artwork. This CD includes a very special double booklet with lyrics in italian and german, plus all the original drawings, the LP labels and a reproduction of the nice poster that marked the first edition release on vinyl!
Un biglietto del tram
"Un biglietto del tram" is an historical album, featuring some of the most important, militant, political and proletarian fighting songs of the Seventies. Stormy Six sound is acoustic here, but it does not copy the anglo-american folk style; in fact it shows a very personal and original approach and a mediterrean influence. This CD is a milestone of the italian Seventies music scene!Available in the usual BTF deluxe papersleeve CD series with gatefold cover and detailed booklet with vintage phot…

Dots
One of their miraculous duo result is their first CD "Territory" (dmf-112, 2006). This work, "DOTS" is even more overpowering, speed, ramified rhythm, edits, and so on. First, they recorded their improvised music in studio, then they overdubbed various sounds, edited the materials and mixed different effects into the tunes. This is the music for the prog rock, math rock, post rock fans. Dense and Fiery !
Beauty & Dilapidation
Uncle William Borroughs would have loved a record like this, it's the result of a cut and paste process enriched by elements played with drums, guitars, vocals, bass, trumpet and many other things. he musicians of [1] Kilo of Black Bondage were united for the first time in 2003 during the I.D.E.A.L festival at the Lieu Unique in Nantes, France. Then, moving from stage to stage in France and Europe, they enriched and cultivated an original musical material made from evolving t…

7" w/7 differents covers: 2 songs, 11 minutes, released January 2001
Polvere
Xabier iriondo and mattia Coletti. Polvere by some means is the avant/kraut folk project of this couple of musicians and beside the experimental/post-psychedelic characteristics of the cd it shows their melodical/acoustic virtues.
In attesa, nel labirinto
One of their best releases so far - "Gruppo ormai storico che si avvicina a un nobile, quanto discreto, ventennale e che ha alle spalle un'assidua militanza tra le fila dell'industrial più sotterraneo, soprattutto in tempi come gli anni '80 in cui certi generi erano relegati a qualcosa di più marginale della semplice nicchia, i Tasaday si richiamano con questo loro ultimo lavoro In attesa, nel labirinto al …

Digital tranquilizer ver. 1.01
"19 minute EP from Otomo, his first this week. All manner of high pitched or just plain aggravative tones juxtaposed in a not-entirely-un-Mego/Ikeda-like fashion. Rather non-sleep inducing. By a long shot. Good for what ails you though." -- Hrvatski.
