Arcana / L'uomo Del Tesoro Di Priamo
In process of stocking. Digitmovies release for the first time on CD two extremely rare original soundtracks by Romolo Grano from the film Arcana and the TV show L'uomo Del Tesoro Di Priamo. For Arcana, Romolo Grano composed an OST where the main score emerges as a sort of concerto in three movements performed by an orchestra (with an emphasis on winds), the voice of Edda Dell'Orso, and pieces played by a Hammond organ. The score develops into an impending classic theme with the modern sound of …

The voices of the dead
For many, the first traces of the Raudive Tapes were in William Burroughs's fictions and articles. The fact is, these mysterious magnetic tapes, which capture the voices of the dead, and were recorded by the Baltic scientist Konstantin Raudive, are not a fiction but a reality (in this case, not judging their scientific objectivity). These tapes, as rare as H.P. Lovecraft's Necronomicon, are now in Sub Rosa's archives.What you'll find in this record: 1. Two introductions by Konstantin Raudive and…
Elettroencefalogramma
**300 copies** In the widening realms of uncovered European Outsider Art and maligned musical enigmas, the composer most commonly known as A.R. Luciani continues to exist on the extreme outer limits. Despite his unwaning commitment to the Italian avant garde and extensive production for the film industry, his work remains undocumented in almost all the excitable documentaries, books and retrospectives on the subject made in recent years. Trust Andy Votel, Sean Canty and Doug Shipton to put that …
Eroina
Last copies **150 copies, clear vinyl** There are still so many treasures to be discovered out there, but once you find a gem like this you can definitely put the research on hold for a little while and give it a deep listen. Recorded by the Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza at Fono Roma in 1971, Eroina is a series of haunting improvisations - each one inspired by the effects of a different drug - made of whirling electronic glitches, skronky horns, pounded piano, funky drums and weird …
Agonia della civiltà
**300 copies** The great fame of Antonino Riccardo Luciani, a musician and composer from Palermo, is due above all to his work for television and to one in particular, namely the music for the Almanacco del giorno dopo (Almanac of the Coming Day), a famous program that has been broadcast on the first channel of RAI - Italian Television for over twenty years. Chanson Balladée, this is the title, is for many people an indelible memory of a television now disappeared and radically changed, for whic…

Niente
** Edition of 500 copies ** Sequel to the mythical RCA LP “The Feed-back”, the legendary insane amalgam of avant-improvisation and motorik Krautrock-influenced beats that understandably has become one of the most collectable ‘Library Music’ related LPs ever issued.

Explosion

This killer Italian library album by Luciano 'Arawak' Simoncini was only ever released on the elusive Orrery Records label, and is now very hard to find.

Tracks includes the driving cosmic funk Hardware with sharp hip-hop breaks and spaced-out abstract synth keys. Kangoroo Court is an even better alternati…
The Beast Must Die

There's a definite jazz bent to some of the music, bu…
La Cloche
A totally cool little Japanese soundtrack from the 60s – done for a film
that features a bunch of younger teens who head out the beach – and
which is scored with music that perfectly fits the mood! There's a
really great range of 60s film modes going on here – as some tunes
feature wordless vocal scatting, others feature a bit of surf guitar,
bossa melodies, or even a few more playful themes – mostly served up in
short takes, and interspersed in a way that's nicely vivid and very
groovy!…
Bad Girl, Yoko
A marvelous jazz session from 1966 : Sadao Watanabe (alto sax) Terumasa Hino, Masahiko Togashi (drums) Masanaga Harada (bass), Masao Yagi (piano), Hozan Yamamoto (bamboo flute). "A totally cool Japanese soundtrack from the 60s – one that's as much of a
jazz album as it is a film score! The group features saxes from Sadao
Watanabe and trumpet from Terumasa Hino – part of a lineup that would
already make the music sound great on paper, although it's even better
on record! The tracks all have…

Industria N.1
At the beginning of the 70s, in Italy, the revolutionary surge of 1968 was beginning to turn into something grimmer (and definitely not linked to left-wing ideology) but the concept of “factory” still had a key role in the economic and social life of the country. It was not just an alienating workplace, where you often spent your whole life, but also – and overall – the place where demands were made and political struggles took place. Therefore, a feasible imaginary soundtrack for the factory wa…
