Il Gatto (Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film)
“Il Gatto” (The Cat) is a 1977 film, a comedy often tinged with detective story elements that tells about two brothers, played by Ugo Tognazzi (Amedeo Pegoraro) and Mariangela Melato (Ofelia Pegoraro), who cynically do everything they can to get a building they own cleared of all its tenants in order to sell it for a profitable sum.
The soundtrack of this film, directed by Luigi Comencini and produced by Sergio Leone, was entrusted to Maestro Ennio Morricone, who produced a decidedly varied scor…

Iniquitous
"With 2021’s ‘Mystery Fields’, Phil Heeks delivered a stunning homage to 1970s library LPs and soundtrack compilations, in his debut record as The British Stereo Collective. Like ‘Mystery Fields’ before it, the long-awaited sequel ‘Iniquitous’ brings together two-decades-worth of TV music from an alternate reality. Says Phil: “I feel that Volume 2 nails the concept of the TV themes compilation much more successfully, being more varied and more expansive, and with greater authenticity.”
Once agai…
Atoms
When a story sees its own ending. Atoms shows the Hamburg grown friends and instrumentalists taking a steep descent into the unmarked. Crushed arpeggios, hand layered drums and the afterthought of a nightly piano allude to an early dawn still at midnight. All six tracks are ultimately cast towards loss, since Charly Schöppner, the trio's rhythmic enigma, passed before the record was finished in 2023. But they do this unwillingly, each alone, and they materialise the persistence of beauty in diff…

Mother-Of-Pearl Box
Japanese composer Hiroko Matsuzaki began her classic music career as a flutist, and from 1985 to 1987 she worked as a studio musician as a flute/synthesiser player based in London, gaining an excellent reputation abroad without passing through the Japanese music scene. Simon Jeffs of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra heard this work and decided to participate in German electronic musician Rhodelius' Pink, Blue and Amber. This is the first time reissuing the lost work she produced only 100 copies before…

Tales From The Subterranean
Fifth solo album from saxophonist Julius Gabriel. Born out of new sounds and rhythms that the musician discovered during the pandemic, “Tales From The Subterranean” embodies a blend of primal energy and inventive exploration across twelve tracks. The opener “Time Riding” sets the mood, a tearing rhythm that sounds like a frenetic tap dance. It invites you to move and when you get to “Footworks” you are all set up, merging saxophone finger percussion with a continuous siren whisper emanating from…
Swing Ensemble
Did someone say Summer? Sicily is what Cuba is to the Caribbean, sun, sea, easy and friendly people with lots of troubles! You won't find anything better around that identifies the summer more than this album by Enzo Randisi who at the beginning of the 80s put together a Swing Ensemble as a tribute to that "cheerful" movement of Jazz music.
But Enzo and his fellas just couldn't stay on track and put in the best that the alternative Palermo area could offer in that historical period, like the sis…

Does It Still Matter
"The new avant-garde isn't about creating something that doesn't yet exist, it's about abandoning and confusing rigid genres. I want to open up, in order to both abolish and reconstruct the musical past." — Noémi Büchi
Mythical River
*300 copies limited edition* Their previous album Arrival of The New Elders presented a more varied and reflective trio, still as groovy as ever, but more structured and less jam oriented, earning them a 9/10 review in Uncut and a spot in their albums of the year list, noting their telepathic communion and concluding with “this is an Elephant9 you´ll never forget”. Reviews in Jazzwise, Shindig, Prog, Electronic Sound, The Quietus and several others followed in the same fashion. We´re delighted t…
