It was not the usual kind of soundtrac…

Phase 6 Super Stereo - Introducing The Alternative Italian B-Mov
Long deleted, few copies available. "This unique lounge compilation collects a series of tracks from the vaults of Vedette Records, an Italian label presided over by producer and lounge composer Armando Sciascia. The music they produced was released on compilations intended for music library use, but the music presented here is strong enough that it could have garnered a commercial release. These tracks mix rock, soul, and jazz together in a stylish manner that blends an easy listening sen…
Tandem (remastered) (1979/82)
"All of two exceptional Worcester (Massachusetts) and Los Angeles concerts: clarinet and cornet duos and solos in improvisations on original compositions. Even those who know Carter and Bradford's work in larger groups will be astounded. The original CDs were the first (non-video) release of this duo performing unaccompanied, and the sound has been cleaned up considerably for this double CD set."-Emanem
White String's Attached (1979)
Violinist Coombes explains things perfectly in his hilarious liner notes. Beethoven, he says, realized that the piano and violin sound horrible together, the instruments literally hate each other, and gave up after ten sonatas. "For us to try and surmount Beethoven's problems, for example, in the heat of trying to make the music up as we go along is almost laughable." Nonetheless, a blindfold test of this record to a knowledgeable listener often results in the music being misidentified as…
Pulsar Music ltd
An outstanding lbirary LP (Originally on Cometa) played by Pulsar, a short living group formed in 1976 by jazz musician Enrico Pieranunzi and Silvano Chimenti , was called The Pulsar in honor of the neutron star and, to date, it was thought that their only album had been used for the soundtrack of the MarioCaiano's movie Milano Violenta. The feel of the album is similar to that of some of the best tracks on the Stroboscopia comps – with lots of tight drums, rumbling basslines, and cool electric …
Underground
Few copies restocked - recorded in 1970 during the same period of "Overground", Uderground was recorded into 2 volumes (RT 104 and RT 16), both released in the same year in may and june at Dirmaphon studios, Roma. Together with Overground these records are really fascinating instrumental Free Jazzy/Psych Libraries, released with the auxiliary of historical Rai session musicians as guitarist Silvano Chimenti and organist Giorgio Carnini. This record collects all Underground' tracks in 1 LP.…
Re-Membering Dwayne
At the end of 1981, brothers Darrin and Stephen Huss and schoolmate Dwayne Goettel performed for the first time as Psyche in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Their live show was a combination of horror and electronics that was completely unprecedented in Western Canada. Although Goettel and the Huss brothers parted ways before Psyche was to release any material, the masters containing Dwayne Goettel's performances were preserved in the band's vaults. Now, 19 years after Goettel's untimely passing in 1…
Signals From Pier Thirteen
Crash Course In Science are a post punk band that formed in 1979 in Philadelphia.The band members, Dale Feliciello, Mallory Yago and Michael Zodorozny, met while attending art school. They began to experiment with crude electronics and off-beat writing, avoiding conventional instrumentation by using toy instruments and kitchen appliances to augment their distorted guitar, drums and synthesized beats. Their first single, “Cakes in the Home” was released in 1979 and their 4-song 12" EP "Signals Fr…
Black Mill Tapes Volumes 1 - 4
The Black Mill Tapes volumes 1-4 are now available on one epic triple CD set featuring over 40 tracks of material, now completely remastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy. Lurking in the shadows between deep house, slow techno, Carpenter soundtracks and classic electronica, these sibling albums transcend genres with hallucinatory, shape-shifting effect, trudging from the pastoral whimsy of the first volumes to a darker, less certain point on the horizon. They could just as easily soundtrack a thrill…
Live at the Hideout
During the month of January in 2013 Bitchin Bajas held residency at the Hideout in Chicago, IL. Performing every Tuesday of the month, playing two different sets each week. Collaborating with friends, playing with films in quadraphonic, using the Bitchitronics set up live and changing where the performance took place in the bar helped vary each set. Using several recording devices, all rehearsals and performances of each week were documented. Later it was all edited and mixed making these six si…
Journey to the light
"Recorded in Northern California in 1984 and released in a micro edition by the Creative Sound imprint in January of the following year, Mark Banning’s Journey to the Light is a lost gem of private issue New Age music, an impossible-to-find album that is more spoken about than heard and deserves to be recognized alongside established classics of the genre. Incorporating processed electric guitar, zither, voice and field recordings, it is unabashedly beautiful music—two side-long pieces that feel…
Apropos Cluster
“Apropos Cluster” was released in Coralville, Iowa, in deepest provincial America. Youthful enthusiast Russ Curry (sic) set up the Curious Music label on his own initiative to release this very album. Emboldened by the spirit of the independent movement, he paid for manufacturing himself and took care of CD distribution, as well as doing his best to ensure that a few copies made their way to Europe. In common with so many independent label operations, Russ Curry lacked the financial clout to mar…
The Feed-Back

An insane amalgam of avant-improvisation and motorik krautrock beats that, understandably, has become one of the most collectable LPs ever issued (original copies are impossible to obtain).Just as the first "krautrock" lp's we…
