(Limited to 500 copies – beautiful pressing from Smashed Plastic!)
Demonic sounds, but surprisingly sweet as well – done with this easy-flowing style that's really wonderful – and much more similar to the seductive sound library work of Alessandro Alessandroni, than to some of the starker, darker horror of the time!

Art Ensemble Of Chicago —
Les Stances A Sophie ... LP Pathe/Play Loud (Germany), 1970. New Copy (reissue)...
$27.9929.99
Probably the greatest album ever by the Art Ensemble of Chicago – and also one of their rarest!

That's a cheesy 80s action shot on the cover, and the music within really carries through on that promise – from the starting cut "Black Inferno", which is a very groovy clubby sort of cut – to the more stark, keyboard-driven grooves from the brothers DeAngelis! The duo did ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A sweet soccer comedy from the 80s Italian scene – one that's scored with a fair bit of electric elements, but also a fair bit of percussion as well!

Spectrum ... LP Four Flies (Italy), 2023. New Copy ...
$29.9938.99
A set that pays tribute to the glory days of European sound library music, and which is particularly heavy on modes from the early 80s – that point when library funk was stripped down a lot more from the fuller bands of the previous decade, and relied heavily on beats and keyboards! There's ... (New Grooves, Soundtracks)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A really lovely soundtrack from Forever Pavot – contemporary, but with some of the best touches of our favorite French film scores of the late 60s – a blend of sentiment and subtle instrumentation, light melody and occasional groove – all handled with excellent keyboards, flutes, ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the weirder soundtracks from Fabio Frizzi – a record that's spooky one minute, cheery the next – but in a way that really makes the schizophrenia appealing!

An album with a very striking cover, but which features music done for the more warm-tinged program Mu – a 70s drama represented here by a really great range of different themes!
