Reissues
Nord
*299 copies limited edition* One of the most rare and classic Experimental Japanoise albums, recorded in 1981 - with sticker. It remains one of the holy grails of DIY electronics from Japan. Hazy and drugged, this entrancing 1981 recording by the infamous Nord is a must-have for anyone who is into claustrophobic and destroyed ambient of the most disturbing, affecting kind. "Nord, consisting of Satoshi Katayama and Hiroshi Oikawa, were one of the leading groups in the Japanese underground music s…
Herzmuskelgewebe 2
*199 copies limited edition* Early Japan TechNoise at its best, recorded in 1984. For fans of early Esplendor Geometrico and alike.
The Same Thing Makes Always Her Laugh
*199 copies limited edition* Brilliant Experimental album by the Merzbow co-founder, recorded in 1989 - with sticker and insert.
Yantra Material Action
*199 copies limited edition* Originally named „Merz“, this album should have been Merzbow's first vinyl release, but never came out on vinyl. So actually "Yantra Material Action" is „Material Action 1“, recorded in 1981 - with sticker and insert
Playback (Book + Dvd)
Hard cover Edition, large format. Long out of print. One of the pioneers of performance and multimedia work, constantly cited as key to the burgeoning postwar genres now considered standard fare in art galleries and museums, Robert Whitman's work of the 1960s and 1970s has long been inaccessible because of its ephemeral nature. This publication and the exhibition it accompanies are the first to reexamine his seminal early work, begun under the influence of Allan Kaprow in the late 1950s. Early p…

Danger: Diabolik
In 1967 Morricone was at the peak of his career, and his score for Diabolik can be ranked among his most spectacular achievements. It is quite amazing that no official album was ever released. Only a couple of bootlegs saw the light, based on the soundtrack of the movie, providing a fairly faithful account of the movie's atmosphere and of the music content. Their approach was paradoxical however: carefully taking out the parts of the music which were covered over by dialogue, but also adding dia…
C'Era Una Volta Il West
There are not enough superlatives to describe Ennio Morricone’s score to "Once Upon a Time in the West". It is considered the best movie soundtrack ever by many. Finally we have the complete score in 31 tracks. 4 of these have never been previously released, 3 have never been released by the Solisti and 3 have been upgraded. It includes a 24 page booklet with critical notes & listener’s guide.
Once Upon a Time in America
The original soundtrack was presented in two different versions, the initial one being restricted to 15 tracks and 50 minutes because of the limitations of the vinyl format. A so-called special edition saw the light on CD in 1998, adding 25 minutes to the program. It included a long suite which was actually a collage partly repeating previously released music. Combining the album tracks with additional music heard in the movie and removing the duplications, a program of more than 78 minutes was …

Live/Dead
Gatefold sleeve. Includes a 4-page booklet. Live/Dead is the first official live album (and fourth overall) released by the rock band Grateful Dead. Recorded over a series of concerts in early 1969 and released later the same year, it was the first live rock album to use 16-track recording. "The Grateful Dead's fourth title was likewise their first extended concert recording. Spread over two LPs, Live/Dead (1969) finally was able to relay the intrinsic sonic magnificence of a Dead show in real t…

Codice D'Amore Orientale OST
‘Codice D'Amore Orientale’ is a 1974 film directed by Piero Vivarelli, author also of the song “24,000 baci”, made famous by Adriano Celentano and his own record company. As the director himself stated in an interview, ‘it is a film freely inspired by the Kāma Sūtra and all its philosophy’. The story is about two young people in love, but hindered by their parents, who have already arranged their marriage. The two run away and find themselves in a forest temple, where the high priest initiates t…
Sisters
In collaboration with Edward R. Pressman Film Corporation, Music Box Records proudly follows their IFMCA award-winning release of Bernard Herrmann’s 1976 Oscar-nominated score for Obsession by now going back to his collaboration, one that relaunched his career as well as boldly announcing a new Master of Suspense.
