Reissues
Timeless
Discussing this impending studio date, the indefatigable saxophonist Mats Gustafsson and intrepid vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz decided to compose new pieces for one another. The resulting tracks -- which also include a hallucinogenic arrangement of "Timeless", dedicated to its composer, the recently deceased guitarist John Abercrombie -- show a markedly different side of both musicians. Quiet, at times tender, this meeting of like-minded musicians evoked a new kind of tension, not one birthed o…
Out Loud
2024 Restock. Strictly limited to 550 hand-numbered copies, this deluxe 2-LP edition presents the complete recordings by the hitherto invisible 1974 quartet of Frank Lowe, Joe Bowie, William Parker, and Steve Reid.

These 1974 tapes went unreleased and are heard only now in this rediscovered and expanded v…

Elph vs Coil: Worship The Glitch
Coil’s cultishly acclaimed Worship The Glitch features the group in dialogue with the ghost in the machine, an element they named ELpH and considered as much a part of the group as any physical member. Aye, you’d probably be right in assuming they were taking a lot of drugs during the creation of Worship The Glitch, and consequently the results stand out among their trippiest releases, comparable with the rugged space of early Pan Sonic and slightly later Mika Vainio releases as much as Philip J…
Black Light District: A Thousand Lights In A Darkened Room
...At Last, it's here! During the transitional period in which Coil’s primary leadership (Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson and John Balance) reorganized their creative direction by taking on new membership in the group through their inclusion of Drew McDowall, Coil took a drastic turn towards the metaphysical unknown. Employing the subtle handiwork of Coil’s “real life” members, as well as the cleverly guised aliases and spiritual collaborators, the band chose to filter their identity through a the…

Soundtracks - 3° Collection / 4 LPs in bundle
All the four new Spettro groundbreaking Soundtrack LPs in bundle!
La Macchina della violenza (The Big Game)
First 200 on Red Opaque Vinyl. 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP, with poster. Another master of the soundtrack is Francesco De Masi, that, through a long carrier, has moved between different genres, giving the soundtrack to spaghetti western movies (like Vado l’ammazzo e torno) comedies, and action movies like La Macchina della violenza, by Robert Day. A soundtrack that goes from tense and nervous songs, to soft ballads with female voice.
Adolescenza Perversa
First 200 on Violet Vinyl. 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP. Franco Micalizzi, during the seventies a part from his classic works, has taken part and made the soundtrack also for erotic movies. One of them is Adolescenza Perversa. The two sexy characters of the movie ( Femi Benussi and Marisa Longo) move to the rhythm of wonderful orchestrations, beat scratches, persuasive tunes and the funky beat, a real trademark of the roman composer.
«Hold-Up» Istantanea Di Una Rapina
First 200 on Yellow Opaque Vinyl. 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP, with poster. When you think about italian crime movies, one of the first names to get to your mind is probably Franco Micalizzi, great minds behind terrific and unforgettable works like Napoli violenta and Italia a mano armata. Through all is carrier, nonetheless, there’s room also for some less known, but still mentionable works. One of them is Hold Up, made up of dizzying escapes, funky breakbeat and some less frantic episode.
Le Altre
**First 200 on Violet Vinyl. 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP** Easily comparable to the vaste number of movies from the erotic-dramatic genre popular between sixties and seventies, Alessandro Fallay’s Le Altre – a pretty much unknown director of Iranian origins – boasts an amazing soundtrack from the unforgettable Piero Piccioni, one of the acclaimed masters of the genre. The album moves between easy listening atmospheres to jazz and lounge, among Roma and Cinecittà’s summers parfumes. Everything t…
The Pawnshop
Warped guitars, screams and voices gone berserk; furious drums, tenacious bass guitars, frenzied Hammonds, avalanches of sitars, dramatic inflections, and hypnotics breaks. All these things together and many more are The Pawnshop. A moniker for an obscure supergroup behind which three truly unforgettable heroes of the Italian library music used to conceal themselves and experiment without any musical boundaries whatsoever. They were the celebrated Giuliano Sorgini (Raskovich), Alessandro Alessa…
Eternal Anguish / Come Back! Rhythm
At last available on 7” two of the more danceable tracks of the whole Black Emanuelle musical canon, written by the celebrated dream team Nico Fidenco (composer) and Giacomo Dell’Orso (arranger and conductor) for legendary cult director Joe D’Amato.

Afro Beat / Afro Flower
Four Flies Records continues its 7” line-up with another de rigueur repechage that will have your dancefloor jump frantically up and down. Two freaky afro-flavoured tracks, written by Giuliano Sorgini and his partner in musical delices Alessandro Alessandroni. Recorded during a non-specified session which may be traced back to the recording of Sorgini’s UNDER POMPELMO and PAWNSHOP's first 7”. The sound and the ideas behind the music are exactly the same, even though there’s more rhythmic and per…
Egg
Exact repro edition. The debut album of Egg ( nothing but Arzachel without guitarist Steve Hillage, who left to study psychology in Kent University) is a real early progressive gem. All Egg's releases stayed in the shadow, and it's a shame. Guitar less trio, heavily based on future on of the greatest Canterbury scene keyboardist Dave Stewart plays perfect mix of psychedelic jazzy symphonic progressive. Nearest comparison could be ELP, but Egg's music is more jazzy and less bombastic.Compositions…
