Europa 1930-1940
**Very rare original 1975 LP. Few copies available** Rare record on the collectible Deneb label,aA great early 70s War-themed library LP by Riz AR Luciani! Europa 1930-1940 is crafted with a slightly different feel than usual for the time – almost more straight experimental and darker than the some of the seedier Italian drama sounds of the period.
Barocco 2000
**Very rare original 1972 LP** few copies of this original library album, issued by Maria Teresa Luciani. To quote Finderskeepers that a few years ago reissued her 'Sounds of the City' "Pre-digital, indefinable and genuinely unbelievable. But who is Maria Teresa Luciani? On hearing this record, respected collectors and enthusiasts have suggested "the female answer to Basil Kirchin", or "the Italian Daphne Oram", both with justified cause. Mystery, myth, legend, teacher, artist, inventor, author,…
Situazioni
**Very rare original 1975 LP** few copies, still sealed, of this original library album, issued by the legendary RCA SP Series no less than 45 years ago by Antonino Riccardo Luciani, which includes eleven exclusive compositions, full of stark sounds that often move into atonal areas – sometimes electronic, sometimes spacey – and seemingly repeated using tape tricks or other effects, so that a number of tunes loop back on themselves in a really cool way

"Contemporanea" was released on the Italian label, Gemelli, in 1975, and was Egisto Macchi's 11th full-length library music LP and largely considered one of his best records. Egisto Macchi happily experiences all the possibilities of sound which at the time, the early seventies, could be imagined recreating a…

Cut A Crooked Track
* Edition of 200 copies. Stamped white labels, postcard attached to the cover, insert * Six new tracks from Mark Anderson and Mark Sadgrove, New Zealanders now based in Japan.

The Quemada description of their very underrated 2015 12" makes perfect sense on at least the A-side, "image a Back from the Grave band that was weened on Operation of Sonne and fronted…

Swirling and absolutely mesmerizing instrumentals often incorporating field recordings, alternating between acoustic and electric modes. 'Music From…
Dark Ballads
* Edition of 300 * Dark Ballads is the obvious title of this LP, as if this music pre-existed the duo that, without any other choice, was formed around it. Since then, Giotis Damianidis and Audrey Lauro have continued to advance along this straight line that runs through their inner landscapes.
Their music creates a "stretched" emotional space, which evolves in slow motion and captures the fragility of the tone, the tension of the path. Each stage of the record is a mineral evocation of the inti…
Istantanee vol.1
* Limited Edition 300 copies High Quality 180gr Black Vinyl * These musical compositions – which I called Istantanee (snapshots) – were realized with sonic materials issued from experimental studies on the expressive capabilities of the instrument arranged in such a way as to take account of the rhythmic and harmonic peculiarities of the material itself.
To maintain the spontaneity of the original musical idea, each snapshot was recorded three or four times on different kinds of tape – the timbr…
Boundary Scan

Take A Look Outside
This is the fourth, and until now, unreleased album by Kapingbdi, a six-piece band from West Africa, which billed itself as “African Jazz-Funk-Rock from Liberia”. It is a skilful mix of African and Western elements, with a spiritual heart and dynamic grooves. In January 1985 and shortly before the group disbanded, they recorded nine tracks for an aborted LP project at Masterpiece studio in Detroit, U.S.A. In 2019 the music was carefully remastered from the original 24-track master tape. For Kapi…
Saxophone Solos
Reissue Evan Parker's first solo LP Saxophone Solos. Recorded by Martin Davidson in 1975 at the Unity Theatre in London, at that time the preferred concert venue of the Musicians' Co-operative, Parker's densely woven and often cyclical style has yet to form; instead throaty murmurs appear under rough-hewn whistles and calls -- the wildly energetic beginnings of an extraordinary career. Reissued with liner notes from Seymour Wright in an edition of 500. "The four pieces across the two sides of Sa…

His sound can aptly be defined ‘ecstatic', in the purest sense of the term, as a result of the exploration of these points of focus, through multi-instrumental practice and inv…
