Square Cunts s/t New Remorse
In a blender, stuck with your hand, while a heavy wooden table leans on your chest, yelling "keep it down and help, or at least unplug the blender and take that table away", while in the other room the whole family is dancing to "Square Cunts", the automatic acoustic guitar boomerang on the A side of this single, it took a swing in the kitchen and just flew back into the other room! Flipped around, the kitchen dried out when uncle Bill reads his stolen poetry!
Parole De Navarre
Formed for the improvisation nights Dynamo in Brest, France, this quartet made of musicians covering a wide variety of musical styles creates a sound that mixes electronic (samples, cuts, sound treatments) and acoustic elements (guitars, saxophone, trumpet). They’re playing moody ballads that sound as if they would come out from one of David Lynch's movies. Like in the films of Hollywood’s master of bizarre pieces, there is something like a dark and poisonous colour broken by red thunderlights a…
Lamne' Gastama
CD edition. Everyone’s favourite chamber doom band (are there any other chamber doom bands?) are back with the second instalment in their “trilogy that explores the sounds of the geographical area between 34°Ν - 42°Ν & 19°Ε - 29°Ε”. If you find all those coordinates confusing, googling them will only add to that confusion. But more importantly, the first record of the trilogy ‘'Zo Rél Do' was a corker and this one is easily as good if not better. For the uninitiated, what Mohammad do is take con…

Only Wanting To Melt Beautifully Away Is It A Lack Of Contentmen

Peplum
A driving force in what some critics dubbed Italian Occult Psychedelia, Heroin In Tahiti from Rome inaugurate 2014 with two tracks of their unmistakable Spaghetti-Sound. On Side A Peplum is an apocalyptic take on some imaginary Morricone soundtrack, filled with twangy guitars, doomsday synths, and even a mellotron: listen to it, and you will see Lee Van Cleef's ominous face wandering in a fucked up roman borgata, year 2018. Side B Alo is more in the giallo-vein and sounds like a clash bet…

something else. The 'kinds of love' here include: the love for a child,
nostalgic love and imaginary journeys, love renewed and shared, love of
animals, love of music, nostalgia, love in …
Bitter Music
It is an astonishing gift of fate when a creative artist, known to the world for a particular achievement, is suddenly shown in a quite different light thanks to the existence of a single document that has somehow escaped the ruthless culling mechanisms of time. Harry Partch's Bitter Music is such a document, a “diary of eight months spent in transient shelters and camps, hobo jungles, basement rooms, and on the open road”. This long-lost journal of Harry Partch's wanderings during the Great Dep…
The prepaid piano & replayed
**Restocked**In line with the prepared works of John Cage, Pekler has also tackled the piano with a modern twist that we could only imagine Cage would delight it. The A side of this long player contains participatory recordings wherein audience members of a performance in Berlin were invited to call mobile phones placed inside the performers piano (hence Pekler’s play on Cage’s original title) which would vibrate the strings and the signal would be passed along to a modular synthesizer via conta…

La norma del cielo
Special price, limited stock.

His second album, released in 1971 and titled "Volo magico n.1", is usually considered as his best effort, in much the same style as Alan Sorrenti's "Aria" with a side-long title track and softer tracks on the other side.

Toni Esposito (Rosso Napoletano)
Special price, limited stock. First solo album, for the Luciano Cilio percussionist Toni Esposito. "Jazz and the Mediterranean: two worlds merging into one with the suspended atmospheres of "Rosso napoletano". A magical record, capturing the most alluring aspects of Bitches Brew-era Miles Davis and elevating them to an almost mystical lightness. Hypnotic funky grooves and a miniaturistic work on percussions are the key element - and the most discreet one - of the sound, equally tipified by …
Processione sul Mare
Special price, limited stock. Continuing on from my shares of his first and third albums, this second outing from this wildly gifted and wide ranging Italian prog/fusion drummer (a one time member of both St. Just and Alan Sorrenti's band as well as Luciano Cilio's collaborator on Dell'Universo Assente) catches Esposito at a real creative peak. As with the other albums of his that I've shared, the arrangements, stereo imaging and the endless peppering of pinprick percussive detailing make it pla…
