Now Shipping: Ennio Morricone February 03 2017

Shipping this week, we have the first-time vinyl reissue of classic 1972 soundtrack Un Uomo Da Rispettare from maestro Ennio Morricone. Variations of noir-jazz abstraction frame the composer's grand vision, while dissonant chords and angular arrangements recall his work with Gruppo Nuova Consonanza.

First 500 copies on color vinyl (mail-order exclusive).

Now Shipping: PETER JEFFERIES and GRUPPO August 12 2014

Electricity is the brilliant sophomore album by New Zealand legend PETER JEFFERIES' (THIS KIND OF PUNISHMENT, NOCTURNAL PROJECTIONS, etc.). With guest appearances from heavyweights in the NZ music scene (STRAITJACKET FITS' Shayne Carter, PLAGAL GRIND's Robbie Muir and THE DEAD C's Bruce Russell), Electricity has garnered a cult following among fans, yet the songs possess a singular quality – every note, utterance and flourish reflect back to JEFFERIES alone. This first-time vinyl reissue includes four bonus tracks from 1992's Swerve EP and is highly recommended for fans of Flying Nun Records, John Cale and Jim Shepard. Get it here.

Before 1976's benchmark release, Musica Su Schemi, GRUPPO recorded this eponymous album in 1973 (featuring Franco Evangelisti, Egisto Macchi and Ennio Morricone). Whether the passages are jarring or soothing, clamorous or silken, the ensemble retains astounding organic coherence. An ultra-rare entry in GRUPPO's formidable discography, Gruppo d'Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza is finally reissued for the first time ever. Get it here.


Summer 2014 Releases (Part 2) June 23 2014

Along with CRIME's Murder By Guitar archival LP which we announced a couple weeks ago, our second batch of Summer releases includes two first-time vinyl reissues: PETER JEFFERIES' brilliant sophomore album, Electricity, and GRUPPO D'IMPROVVISAZIONE NUOVA CONSONANZA's ultra-rare self-titled album from 1973.

Electricity is a sparse and nocturnal affair. JEFFERIES' (THIS KIND OF PUNISHMENT, NOCTURNAL PROJECTIONS, etc.) earthy baritone weaves between piano, guitar, cello and analog tape machine noise, pulling in listeners to the deep pastoral life of his music. Get it here.

Led by Franco Evangelisti and Ennio Morricone, GRUPPO advanced the innovations of 20th century avant-garde in laboratory-like studio settings where the intuitive interplay between members flourished. Get it here.
