Hör!-Spiel / Nekrologlog 1961 / Fantasmata 1960
Originally “pressed on behalf of the musical youth of Austria” in 1975, this is the second, even rarer pressing on Preiser Records from the late '70s (estimated). The Greek avant-garde composer Anestis Logothetis was noted for his pioneering tape techniques as well for developing his own notation system for composition that incorporated visual symbols meant to be interpreted by the performers. “'Hör!-spiel' / Nekrologlog 1961 / Fantasmata 1960” collects three of his most famous works, realized i…
Manchmal Vertrödelt Christa S. Den Tag
Rare original issue. Recorded by the husband and wife duo of Kurt Schwertsik and Christa Schrwertsik, “Manchmal Vertrödelt Christa S. Den Tag” is a dreamy gestalt, an album that borders Chanson, spoken-word, Ubu-esque passages, chanting and singing, against a variety of textures and jazz noir. Kurt Schwertsik (b. 1935) is an Austrian experimental/avant-garde composer. His music is mercurial and idiosyncratic with a refreshing lightness of touch. Though a pupil of Karlheinz Stockhausen, the compo…

Konturen
Rare album from the little known composer Martin Bjelik. From the liner notes: “Consideration of concise, clear form, concentration and ‘interrelatedness’ of the thematic material: in some works, for example, this is presented at the beginning in the form of a melodic 'germ cell', which is then - binding for the entire piece - subjected to various modifications in the course of the musical development. The melodic structures are organised according to the principle of 'recesses'. The formation o…
Prophecy + Progress: UK Electronics 1978-1990
2025 stock Peripheral Minimal is proud to present, ‘V/A Prophecy + Progress: UK Electronics 1978 – 1990 LP’, a thirteen-track compilation that represents the burgeoning Electronic music scene in the UK. This isn’t simply another synthpop compilation, or some nostalgic frippery, but an eclectic mix of acts that were experimenting with newly available technology at a time when the punk scene had imploded and the music press was busy coining new genres as an attempt to continue its legacy, althoug…
90
Tip! *4CD Edition* A limited edition compilation celebrating Hans-Joachim Roedelius' 90th birthday includes four CDs of previously unpublished material. The majority of the music on "90" originates from Revox 2-track recordings from 1968 to 1980. The Revox tapes, created with his Echolette tape delay and Farfisa organ—the same equipment used by Roedelius to record his beloved Selbstportrait records and much of his seminal work with Dieter Moebius and Michael Rother—document the processes and sou…
Cadaveri Eccellenti (Colonna Sonora Originale)
The soundtrack for "Cadaveri eccellenti", composed by Piero Piccioni in 1976 for Francesco Rosi's film, is one of the most fascinating and unsettling works in Italian film music. Like the film itself, the music evokes a constant sense of tension, a dark atmosphere, and a profound unease that perfectly matches the narrative of this political thriller. “Cadaveri Eccellenti”, based on Leonardo Sciascia's novel “Il contesto”, is a masterpiece of Italian cinema that delves into themes of corruption, …
Dramma Della Gelosia (Tutti I Particolari In Cronaca) Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film
The soundtrack for “Dramma della Gelosia: Tutti i Particolari in Cronaca”, composed by Armando Trovajoli in 1970 for Ettore Scola's film, is a brilliant fusion of irony and emotion, perfectly aligning with the tragicomic tone of the movie. Trovajoli, a master of Italian film music, captures the film’s essence with a score that oscillates between lightheartedness and pathos, reflecting the emotional contradictions of the characters. Ettore Scola’s film, starring a stellar cast including Monica Vi…
Nuovo Cinema Paradiso
The soundtrack for “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” (1988), composed by Ennio Morricone in collaboration with his son Andrea, is a masterpiece filled with emotion, nostalgia, and beauty. Like Giuseppe Tornatore’s film, it narrates the bond between past and present, between cinema and life, with a delicacy and depth that have made it one of the most iconic soundtracks in cinematic history. “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” is a homage to the power of cinema as an art form and a shared experience. The story follows …
