Jodorowsky's Dune Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
This is the soundtrack to the story about the greatest film that never was. Jodorowsky’s Dune tells the tale of cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky’s unsuccessful attempt to adapt Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel, Dune, to the big screen. Composer Kurt Stenzel gives life to a retro-futuristic universe as fantastic as Jodorowsky’s own vision for his Dune–a film whose A-list cast would have included Salvador Dalí, Orson Welles, and Mick Jagger in starring roles and music by psychedelic pr…

Tapes Amateurs
Rome. This century. Lola Hudson and Gloria Farr, two artist/performers moving in the darkest circles of the most pagan city in ancient history, decide to burst onto the scene and break the cultural hymen that human history has been creating over the last millennia. The vagina has returned to free souls of the dictatorship of the dance of the Father: patriarchs have been attempting to annihilate women’s sexuality since the dawn of time. Destroy the image and you shall control the story. Go …

Rafael Anton Irisarri's A Fragile Geography is a record cast in a climate of unsteadiness and transition, reflecting upon the current state of everyday living.

On Patrol
On Patrol, originally released in 2010, is a double album in two parts, and the fourth full length album from Sun Araw. An album for heavy-steamin' late nights in the city, inter-dimensional back alleys, ghost cabs; it creeps and tunes in on a much darker, sparser, and more classically minded channel than its predecessors: dark and deep steam-vent ruminations on Phil Cohran, lenticular objects, and fried Hot 92.3 R&B slow-jams. A cold bug makes a real 'live wire.
The Beyond
The Death Waltz Recording Company brings you another killer score to a gorehound classic, in this case Fabio Frizzi’s musical masterpiece THE BEYOND. The second in director Lucio Fulci’s “Gates of Hell” trilogy after CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD, THE BEYOND is an exercise in bone-chilling terror, atmospheric horror, and eyes being driven through by eight-inch nails. Chuck in an evil book, murderous spiders, and the zombie equivalent of Pippi Longstocking and you have a film consistently referred to a…
Frizzi 2 Fulci
The songwriting side of Frizzi is also on display here; while his film score work is incredible he also created some pretty amazing vocal pieces that are featured, such as ‘Silver Saddle’ from SELLA D’ARGENTO, and ‘Movin’ On’ from I QUATTRO DELL’APOCALISSE. There’s also music from the crime thriller CONTRABAND and even a cover of Nino Rota’s AMARCORD. But his horror work is where it’s really at, and as such the cream of the crop is here: MANHATTAN BABY, CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD,ZOMBI 2, and of co…
