Omega Productions (France), 1974. New Copy ... $13.99
A sweet sexy score from the great Yan Tregger – who you'll also know for his disco and sound library material on the late 70s Italian scene! This music is a bit earlier than some of Yan's sounds that we know from that part of the decade, but all the best roots of his groove are firmly in ... (Soundtracks, Sound Library) read more CD

Magic Touch/Wah Wah (Spain), 1983. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99
Yan Tregger gave the world some funky sound library work in the 70s – but here, he's in much darker territory – definitely in the land of no return, which he explores with waves of really moody electronics! The tunes are still rhythmic – as with Yan's previous work – but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Omicron/Schema (Italy), 1968. New Copy Gatefold ... $12.99
We're not entirely sure what "fischiando" means, but we can definitely testify that the album lives up to the "beat" in its title – those kind of groovy, mod tunes we love so much in Italian 60s soundtracks from the great Piero Umiliani! This set's even more obscure than ... read more CD

Omicron/Schema (Italy), 1971. New Copy Gatefold ... $12.99

Omicron/Schema (Italy), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99
One of the greatest soundtracks ever from the mighty Piero Umiliani – sounds initially written for a film that was an international "sexpose" of daily life in Sweden – but which have grown to even greater fame on their own over the years – thanks to the talent of the ...

Schema (Italy), 1971. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $28.99
A gem of a record from the great Piero Umiliani – and maybe one of his funkiest, grooviest projects ever!

Cometa/Gemelli (Italy), Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $34.99

German funk galore – a huge batch of 70s gems we'd never find in years of digging on this side of the Atlantic!
