CLAUDIO ROCCHI "Mirage" LP+DVD LTD/500 € 30 Info This work was born in 1976; Cramps Records would have to publish it, but "Mirage" sank into the oblivion for 36 years. It's visionary as always; it has got a psychedelic attitude and an electronic expressive form. Thanks to its sensitiveness, its creativity, and its very good aesthetic musical value, "Mirage" reaches the same quality level of the greatest musicians' works, like Battiato, Telaio Magnetico and Albergo Intergalattico Spaziale. It's a missing page of the 70's Italian underground scene. It's the found page that at last we're proud to propose to you, together a DVD. The movie shows to you an artistic and visionary Claudio Rocchi's performance at the Out Off of Milan on 7th and 8th April 1977. Ecstasies and vision to you all!

VARIOUS "Welcome Back To The Eighties Colours" CD Edition of 500 € 15 (Spese postali incluse) Info The return of the neo-Sixties Italian scene! A quarter of century after the release of the two volumes of "Eighties Colours" compilation that spotlighted the Italian underground garage, beat and psychedelic scene, 19 bands of that creative period are back to cover songs of other bands of the same season in a kind of cross-tribute. The "Eighties Colours" continue to explode!
I FENOMENI "Un Vuoto Appeso" LP LTD/300 + poster € 26 Info "Hanging Empty. Memories from the life of G.L." is the debut album from the Italian psych beat band I Fenomeni. Rooted in sounds and melodies from the late ‘60s Italian pre-progressive bands, the album authenticity sets the band aside from tons of neo-sixties acts emerged through the recent years. An ideal missing link between late psychedelic beat and early heavy prog-rock, the record consists of almost entirely original tracks, which remind of a time long passed and still surprise for their originality. As for the content, also graphics and format and reminiscent of past styles and yet are quite distinctively unique. This debut LP is not simply garage, nor psychedelic, nor heavy, but rather a good blend of all these musical genres together, and as such it is bound to be loved by all – or none. So as the Standells would say there is only one way to find out: TRY IT! And if you happen to love it, you know you will be in quite a good company…

AKTUALA "Aktuala" LP Edition of 500 € 32 Info Aktuala -and a few other bands- were the ones that distinguished themselves from many other Italian bands of the 70s when they tried to blend and mix up both Eastern and African ethno-musical traditions with the Western one. During that period, a lot of bands reproduced the stylistic features of Anglo-American bands, but Aktuala were the first that tried to contaminate different backgrounds and cultures at least thirty years before the current musical "melting pot" trend (and not only musical).Thanks to Aktuala we began to know cultures, music and instruments never known and heard in Italy. Aktuala had opened frontiers to different cultures and have given 'citizenship' to whatever that West had banished at the border of its poor horizon, if not cancelled. Aktuala had opened a world and have punched the ticket for a trip that smells of spices, colours, sitars, African drums, perfumes and alternative cultural atmospheres. It's pure psychedelia and expansion of consciousness towards lands that were previously unimaginable. And now we reprint for you -and for the first time on vinyl- Aktuala's firsts two albums, definitely one of the essential bands of the underground and psychedelic scene of the early 70s in Italy.
