Colgems/Quartet (Spain), 1967. New Copy 2CD
One of Burt Bacharach's finest moments, and a soundtrack that we never tire of hearing! Burt wrote all the tunes – and the album's a wonderful romp, with lots of odd twists and turns that are quite different from Burt's usual bag (baby!), but which still have all of the charm of his best

Cometa (Italy), 1977/1978. New Copy
A pair of thrilling 70s action scores – back to back on a single CD! First up is La Montagna Del Dio Cannibale – a cannibal narrative scored with a great sense of drama by the De Angelis brothers – almost the same energy as their cop/crime work, but without the funk – just

Dot/La La Land, 1970. New Copy
An amazing little soundtrack – one that's as spooky and eerie as the film for which it was written, and which was also one of the few American recordings issued by Polish jazz great Krzysztof Komeda! The core of the album is an especially haunting theme – one hummed as a lullaby by Mia

Guerssen (Spain), 1971. New Copy
An incredible Turkish psych album from Baris Manco – totally riveting work that blends some traditional Turkish influences with the panoramic psychedelia of the late 60s & early 70s – all of which makes for lots of fuzzed out rock-funk, and a fantastic melodic sensibility! The

Porter, 2012. New Copy Gatefold
Carlos Nino builds near-orchestral grandeur out of samples, loops, acoustic strings, voice and nature sounds – with assistance from fellow Build An Ark sailors and other guests – breezy, laidback and engaging all the way! It's in large part constructed from recordings Carlos made of
... (New Grooves)

Arista/Get On Down, 1975. New Copy
Quite possibly the greatest Larry Young album of the post-Blue Note years – and a massive bit of funk that totally redefines his sound! Larry's working here with his hip group Fuel – an ensemble that features Laura Logan on lead vocals, giving the tunes a real focus through her lyrics
... (Jazz)

Wilmington Studios, 1973. New Copy
Pioneering experiment rock/soundscape collage genius from Bill Holt – his legendary Dreamies album – the mid 00s special edition! The music is brilliantly ahead of its time, a genuinely timeless blend of pastoral, moody acoustic guitar, vocals and electronics. A true precursor to so

GDM (Italy), 1963/1967. New Copy
A trio of groovy soundtracks from Giovanni Fusco! First up is Violenza Segreta – one of those cool early 60s Italian scores that uses a fair bit of jazz, and brings in some other groovy touches too – especially in the way the instruments are recorded, often with some light echo touches
... (Soundtracks)
|
Quartet (Spain), 1984. New Copy
Dave Grusin's soundtrack for the seedy 80s NYC crime drama The Pope Of Greenwich Village – a jazzier score than we remembered from the film! Dense, atmospheric keyboards and some 80s clubby jazz funk grooves, along with more spacious and dramatic material. Some really cool, noirish 80s
... (Soundtracks)

Liberty/Vocalion (UK), 1963/1964. New Copy
A great illustration of the way that Martin Denny expanded his groove in the 60s – on some sweetly inventive records like this! On Latin Village, Martin Denny changes the rhythms from tropical to Latin – but the overall groove is still highly in his best exotica mode, and nicely
... (Now Sound)

EM (Japan), 1940s/1950s. New Copy Gatefold
Bamboo flute and percussion – served up here in a host of rare 78 rpm recordings that seem to make the music sound even fresher than usual! There's a spare, stark quality to the songs that really stands out – a perfect showcase for TR Mahalingam's deft Carnatic flute lines –

Arhoolie, 1960. New Copy (reissue)
A rare one from TX blues great Melvin "Lil Son" Jackson – massively influential, though! Lil Son has kind of relaxed vocal style, not as gritty as some of the other southern acoustic blues figures of the period, be they fellow Texans or elsewhere – but that voice carries the
... (Blues)
|
Capitol/El (UK), Early 60s. New Copy
One of the rarest Les Baxter albums – and one of the best! The theme is undersea exotic – and Les uses a swirling mix of strings, piano, organ, flute, and electronics to create a haunting sound that makes you feel like you've discovered some hidden grotto under the sea, filled with
... (Now Sound)

Liberty/Vocalion (UK), 1964/1967. New Copy
Si Zentner back to back – two nice ones from the 60s on a single CD! From Russia With Love is one of the grooviest Si Zentner albums of the 60s – thanks to a host of hip spy themes that keep things interesting throughout! The material really brings out the best in Si – as does
... (Now Sound)
|
Ata Tak/Bureau (Germany), 1979. New Copy (reissue)
Dark early electronics from the German group Pyrolator – very harsh stuff, in the mode of some of the late 70s work coming out of the Sheffield scene in the UK. The difference here is that Pyrolator still maintain an ear for a melody – and out of the darkness often come these nice
... (Rock)
|
Daptone, 2012. New Copy
The return of the great ones – and quite possibly the funkiest album ever from The Sugarman Three – a crowning achievement for this funky combo that we've loved for years! The core trio is still in place – soaring Hammond, tight tenor, and heavy drums – but they've also
... (Deep Funk)

Robot Elephant, Early 80s. New Copy
Space-age electronics from the early 80s – a host of spare, stripped-down sounds composed on the Commodore 64 computer! For those youngsters out there, the Commodore 64 was probably the first home computer to really offer up some musical opportunities in the years before Apple dominated the

Jazzman (UK), Early 70s. New Copy
A great introduction to the awesomely funky music of Hilton Felton – an artist who's got a heck of a lot to offer, and who issued some amazing albums on his own great label during the 70s! Felton's a real original – a multi-talented guy, an inspirational businessman, and an all-around
... (Jazz)

United Artists/Quartet (Spain), 1973. New Copy
An amazing little soundtrack from James William Guercio – music composed for his only cinematic effort as a director – for a film that features Robert Blake as a Native American cop! The score is heavy on jazzy horns with an undercurrent of funk – very similar to Guercio's best

Cultures Of Soul, 1977. New Copy 2 x 7" single (pic cover)
Rare funk from the Kelekye Band – material recorded after their legendary Moving World album, but never issued at the time! This amazing package is totally great – four tracks of offbeat Afro Funk, with an approach that's heavy on percussion, and topped by jazzy riffs that really
