The OZ Tapes
** Transparent Blue Edition. Comes in a craft board jacket, including a 12-page liner notes book with archival photos ** Operating out of a small upstairs space just around the corner from the train station in the Kichijoji neighborhood of Tokyo, OZ was a scruffy, DIY affair that lasted not much more than a year.

Metamorphosis
2022 restock, killer price. Last copies The early Eighties marked a transition in popular music, especially for a generation of musicians (still heavily influenced by the previous decade) trying to assimilate the changes in aesthetics and technology which were occurring.Disco music is dead, so is prog, synths are still too expensive and unreliable, jazz is lost somewhere and the term “fusion” has become really popular. This the environment in which this album – released in 1981 by library music…
La Macchina della violenza (The Big Game)
* 2021 restock, killer price. Last copies * LP 180 Gram. Black vinyl edition. Another master of the soundtrack is Francesco De Masi, that, through a long carrier, has moved between different genres, giving the soundtrack to spaghetti western movies (like Vado l’ammazzo e torno) comedies, and action movies like La Macchina della violenza, by Robert Day. A soundtrack that goes from tense and nervous songs, to soft ballads with female voice.
Bisu

*2022 repress. In process of stocking* Bruce Haack's The Electric Lucifer is rightly considered one of the masterworks of 20th century electronic music.

Dreamin’ / Geronimo
In the early ‘70s, after relocating from his native Genoa to Rome, young saxophonist Gianni Oddi was beginning to establish himself as a super-cool arranger thanks to a series of cover albums recorded for RCA Italy.

Both tracks are perfect examples…
