Ted Lucas
Ted Lucas' self-titled album, pressed in Detroit at Third Man Pressing. This self-titled work published album by singer-songwriter and master guitarist Ted Lucas has achieved an almost mystical reputation among aficionados and collectors. Ted Lucas is a seamless marriage of moody odes and raga style instrumentals regarded by many to be, simply put, the greatest private press folk/psych album ever recorded. Lucas was a fixture in the Detroit rock scene of the sixties and seventies. In 1972, the d…
Radio Experiment Rome, February 1981
Warehouse fund ! An unusual detour in the Robert Wyatt catalogue, Radio Experiment Rome was recorded in February 1981, when the ex-Soft Machine drummer had been invited to record some material in-progress for a radio broadcast. The tone of these sessions is characterised by a free-roaming experimentation, laying down eight-track recordings of vocals, piano, hi-hat, jaw harp and a variety of analogue tape effects. This is Wyatt unhinged and completely let loose from the agenda of proper album rec…
Stereo Instrumental Music
The Ibex Band, with Giovanni Rico and Selam Woldemariam at the creative helm, provided the musical backbone for legends like Aster Aweke, Girma Beyene, Tilahun Gessesse, Mulatu Astatke, and Mahmoud Ahmed, including the iconic album Ere Mela Mela, shaping modern Ethiopian music as we know it today. This 1976 album (Ge’ez Year 1968) played a pivotal role in that legacy and has now resurfaced to set the record straight.
There’s a tendency to talk about the seventies as a golden age of Ethiopian mus…

Snakes Alive
*2025 stock. 180g heavy vinyl 2LP set with Obi Strip* In 1975, there was an album that quietly vanished after pressing only 50 copies without a cover. This album was recorded by Snakes Alive and released by themselves. Their self-titled album contains an exquisite combination of progressive rock and jazz rock, also its high quality easily showed the magnificent talent of the members. But this album was barely known to people because of its extremely low number of pressings before the bootleg CDs…
Livin' Love Plus
*2025 stock. LP miniature* A road paving, agency grabbing, '69 girl group garage band trip! Nashville, 1966: five young girls teach themselves their instruments playing along to the radio. Initially named 'The Pivots' and by the end of '67 christened as The Feminine Complex, they were playing out and developing a local following including radio and television appearances. They created their own versions of popular songs, a style that reflected their need to express their own experience of girlho…

While in England, Chris also played with British Folk-Blues legends Wizz Jones and Davey Graham and made his debut album in 1973.

Piece Of Mind (Lp)
*2025 stock.t with obi-strip* Originally released in 1972, this sole album from New Zealand trio Serenity is a folk-rock masterpiece with elements of blues, psychedelic rock and jazz interweaved. Sounding somewhat like a folk rock version of Cream, this is another Holy Grail of acid folk / psychedelic folk rock, with originals almost impossible to find. Immediately sold-out after the initial reissue back in 2000, it has been on many collectors’ want list. With the album finally seeing a limited …
Sister, Brother, Lover....

Includes four page insert with rare photos and extensive liner notes by Brian Young. Originally issued by Regal Zonophone in 1971, this highly sought after release has never been reissued on LP officially. The band's sound has been likened to that of the twin lead guitar style of Help Yourself/early Wishbone Ash with refined vocals. The songs are spiced with ta…
Pass The Distance
*2025 stock. LP miniature* "A black-magical Devendra Banhart in a different time/place long before this freakfolk thing hit, the English bard Simon Finn released Pass The Distance, a sprawling, fractured, dense brew of dark acid-folk... The album’s centerpiece is “Jerusalem”, a six-minute, shiver-inducing crucifixion-of-Jesus exorcism that anticipates Current 93 as well as a bevy of lesser apocalyptic folkies. By its ecstatic, organ smashed final strains, you can’t but help imagining Finn sweaty…
Get Carter: Expanded
"This is the soundtrack to Get Carter (1971), the all-time classic British gangster flick starring Michael Caine and directed by Mike Hodges. It became the bridge by which jazz musician Roy Budd successfully expanded his horizons to film music, with a score brimming with moments of his genius. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the film's opening, we drew on the original Japanese (1971) and British (1998) OST releases to put together an expanded edition of the OST - including a bonus disc fe…
The Stone Killer
*2025 stock* This is the soundtrack album for 'The Stone Killer' by director Michael Winner starring Charles Bronson, which came in the middle of a 3-part crime thriller series (1972, 1973, 1974).

The Empire Of The Necromancers
Gosh!! A smelling, rotting ooze invaded the HDK offices!A bleak and morbid tape spins in our ghettoblasters: it's "The Empire of the Necromancers" by the necrophilist musician Doom Catacomb, a hymn to the dark recesses of humid dungeons...
Inspired by the omonymous novel of the divine Clark Ashton Smith (1893 – 1961) "Empire of the Necromancers" is a little, intense album of classic dungeon-synth music, devoted to the pioneers from the glorious 90s.
The Short And Foolish Quest Of Sylovar And Hrud
NEVER APPROACH THE GODS OF THE IMMATERIAL PLANS WITHOUT POWER, KNOWLEDGE AND A CLEAR MIND! Heimat der Katastrophe is very happy to present the album by Silencio Permanente, a dungeon synth champion from Argentina! The album, based on an original screenplay by the underground heroic-fantasy writer Gian Spazz, is a little, vintage ambient jewel, halfway between the golden era of New Age music and the 80's horror movies soundtracks. In this album the dungeon-synth meets the great names of the ambie…
The Séance At Hobs Lane
The next in an ongoing series of Ghost Box back catalogue re-issues, Séance at Hobs Lane is an overlooked classic of British electronics. Its sinister atmospherics are comprised of VCS3 synthesizer squalls, howling guitar, skronking sax, and oddly haunting keyboard and cello melodies. The album has a similar eccentric and disturbing atmosphere to the work of great mid-century British experimentalists like Desmond Leslie, Daphne Oram or Tristram Carey.
Hobs Lane is the fictional tube station whe…
Faust'o
‘Faust'o’ is the eponymous artist's fifth album, produced and arranged with Alberto Radius. Reissued for the first time since 1983, the year the original album was released, it is now available in a black vinyl / 180 gram version, with a limited and numbered edition of 300 copies.

Regarded by many as one of the grea…

The Marseilles Contract is a 1974 crime thriller directed by Robert Parrish, one of the directors of Casino Royale (1967), starring Michael Caine, James Mason, and Anthony Quinn.
