Disc Rot
Long and intermittent running duo of Discrepant head honcho Gonçalo F Cardoso and Angela Valid's Alex Jones, with sometime collaborator Phil Laney aka Kenny Hosepipe joining in somewhere along the way, Hair & Treasure crossover from Sucata Tapes to Discrepant wax via 'Disc Rot'. Described by the duo, in their cryptic and scatological fashion, as "a fetid spread from the buttery catacombs of Hair & Treasure", one can only speculate on the mindset, if not for the scenario, for these file swap reco…

Elliptical Gloom
I have two stories behind this beast of a record. The first one is of course the oldest type of story around, the stranger comes to town. The stranger in this story is Zach Rowden. He shows up in Bucharest, once or twice, with his band (or duo if you want) Tongue Depressor. On one of the occasions he meets one of the locals involved in Bucharest avantgard circuits, Laurenţiu Coţac. And they decide to play together. They jam their double and electric basses. And it gets recorded. 23 minutes long …
Edaphon
In London I found a perfume that smelled like a brownie made entirely out of wet soil. It was inedible, but still very “cake”. “It’s our signature scent”, said the shopkeeper. But I used to make that cake as a child, with my child hands. I looked at the square bottle and it was me. Chocolate-like, but of the earth. Under our balcony I used to make garden stew in a clay pot with mud and pebbles. I stepped frantically on puffball mushrooms under a tree to make the steam. It didn't matter that the …

Sulle corde di Aries
*2025 repress. 300 copies limited edition* 1973’s Sulle Corde Di Aries was Franco Battiato's third release and showed his fascination for electronic, minimalist and systemic musics, as well as his third chapter in Battiato’s foray into esoteric pop.

On Sulle Corde Di Aries, Bat…
Manchmal Vertrödelt Christa S. Den Tag
Rare original issue. Recorded by the husband and wife duo of Kurt Schwertsik and Christa Schrwertsik, “Manchmal Vertrödelt Christa S. Den Tag” is a dreamy gestalt, an album that borders Chanson, spoken-word, Ubu-esque passages, chanting and singing, against a variety of textures and jazz noir. Kurt Schwertsik (b. 1935) is an Austrian experimental/avant-garde composer. His music is mercurial and idiosyncratic with a refreshing lightness of touch. Though a pupil of Karlheinz Stockhausen, the compo…

Cadaveri Eccellenti (Colonna Sonora Originale)
The soundtrack for "Cadaveri eccellenti", composed by Piero Piccioni in 1976 for Francesco Rosi's film, is one of the most fascinating and unsettling works in Italian film music. Like the film itself, the music evokes a constant sense of tension, a dark atmosphere, and a profound unease that perfectly matches the narrative of this political thriller. “Cadaveri Eccellenti”, based on Leonardo Sciascia's novel “Il contesto”, is a masterpiece of Italian cinema that delves into themes of corruption, …

Trovajoli, a master of Italian film music, captures the film’s essence with a score that oscillates between lightheartedness and pathos, reflecting the emotional contradictions of the characters. Ettore Scola’s film, starring a stellar cast including Monica Vi…
Nuovo Cinema Paradiso
The soundtrack for “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” (1988), composed by Ennio Morricone in collaboration with his son Andrea, is a masterpiece filled with emotion, nostalgia, and beauty.

The story follows …

Play Mary Lou Williams
It's very rare that Discus Music commissions the actual musical content of a new release from the artists. In this case Martin Archer enjoyed a live gig by the duo so much, which had included one Mary Lou piece, that he suggested to Adam and Johnny after the gig they put together an entire programme of her music for this CD/DL. MLW is, after all, one of Martin's favourite artists.
Adam and Johnny both understand and demonstrate in their playing that new music does not appear out of nowhere. Any …
