Andy Warhol's Blood for Dracula
Pressed on red vinyl. Limited edition of 1000 hand-numbered copies. Released in 1973 and 1974 respectively, Blood for Dracula and Flesh for Frankenstein (soundtrack available as RED 212LP) were interesting if not a little off-beat horror movies both of which were filmed in Italy. The legendary Paul Morrissey directed with the assistance in more ways than one of Italian filmmaker Antonio Margheriti, with the productions overseen by Andy Warhol. The Italian composer Claudio Gizzi, with harmonio…
Oxtlr
New Triple-LP set in luxurious fold-out cover. "Oxtlr is the result of contemporary works of Günter Schickert. Indeed, while discs of the 70's by Günter Schickert are now reissued, it seemed interesting to complement this with a production of his research today, and also its collaboration with Pharaoh Chromium. A mental journey in solar atmospheres sometimes, sometimes completely frozen. The sounds will orbit as these distant planets of our solar system, beyond the asteroid belt. An anxio…
Other Strange Worlds
Never-heard studio music from the legendary Sun Ra – material recorded right around the same time as the unique Strange Strings session – and which really stands as a "part 2" to that amazing record! The sound is very loose and open, but quite spiritual too – and the record is definitely one of the most unique Sun Ra sessions ever heard. Within Sun Ra’s vast-as-outer-space discography, the album that orbits the furthest away from the known jazz universe is Strange Strings. Calling it a “st…

Skullsplitter
Eric Chenaux has emerged as one of the most distinctive, innovative and original voices in what might be called avant-garde balladry, juxtaposing his gorgeously pure and open singing against a guitar sound and style that truly stands alone. Skullsplitter is the impressive new album that confirms Chenaux’s singular aesthetic: genuine, natural, unaffected vocals gliding through slow, smoky melodies while electric and nylon-string guitars are deployed with adventurously experimental, dextrou…
i Crudeli (The Cruel Ones)
Supremely atmospheric Ennio Morricone score to a lesser known, but nonetheless stylish and satisfying Sergio Corbucci production; a cross between a Spaghetti Western and a wild west road movie, indeed, a fine example of a film that combines both Italian and American western film traditions.
They made us climb up here
“They made us climb up here” is the third album from Satan is my Brother. Five tracks of noisy jazz, or jazzy noise or none of the two. Melodies built on sax and trombone, struggle to surface from layers of electronics, groovy bass lines and free form drumming.
