Ultratumba
The Galician duo Trajedesaliva (Mon Ninguén – music , synths & Una Vena – words, voice and visual concept) returns with Ultratumba, an album full of passion, anguish, bitterness and sadness. Guided by naked emotions as much as by sparkling intellect, this is a singular work, an architectural wonder of pure analog electronic sound as we have not heard for a long time, with splendorous timbres that tend to the dark but also to the emotionally devastating. An album that feels strangely interactive …

Union Editions presentes Notte di giorno by Balance. Written and performed by Luciano Lamanna & Davide Ricci. Mastered by Luciano Lamanna at Subsound Studio, Roma.
De Mòrt Viva
Constructed like an invented tarot deck, De Mòrt Viva explores the idea of a contemporary paganism in ten jubilant, humorous and spiritual odes. The Auvergne Occitan imposes itself at the spittoon, deploying its metaphorical and polysemic network, with the particular candor of a newly acquired language. The melody is born from the word, the poem gives birth to the song, in a form that could recall from afar and without erudition, the trobar, the art of the troubadours. In this game-album each pi…

Sweet Season
Glen Velez is perhaps not a household name, but let Emotional Rescue change that with this wonderfully curated collection of works from a masterful drum devotee. Velez has Latin American roots, and he has performed since the late '60s in New York, but his interest in percussion spans the globe and all kinds of hand drums. His respected techniques have been snapped up by collaborators like John Cage and Steve Reich, not least thanks to the advanced polyrhythmic modes he operates in. Don't be fool…

Strange Oasis
**150 copies** "In 1925, Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett disappeared in the indescribable jungles of Brazil during an expedition to find the lost city of Z. The city not only represented a sort of El Dorado, but also a state of consciousness in which the traveler and the jungle became a single being. Fawcett describes this ideal moment as the appearance of an inverted oasis; a deserted space in-between lush vegetation where one cannot longer distinguish one plant from the other, water from land o…
Copal Flow
Like the strong scent of copal brings ancient memories and visions, each track here depicts a scenery and involves the listener directly, totally. Introduced by the obscure night of "Notturno", like in a wood, crowded with spirits and animals, you're guided through 9 gates, each one opening on a different space and time. As if the purpose was to awake the slumbering ancestral memory of man, this record is fundamentally based on the dualism of elements strictly relating to the human being: "voic…
