Chu Ishikawa - Tetsuo The Iron Man (Japan Overseas)
This CD contains the soundtracks to both of Shinya Tsukamoto's "Tetsuo The Iron Man" and "Tetsuo II: Body Hammer". Composed and performed by Chu Ishikawa (also active as a percussionist in Der Eisenrost), these scores combine various forms of metal percussion and soaring synthesizer lines suitable for rusting the world away.

Der Eisenrost - Armored Weapon (Japan Overseas)
Der Eisenrost is Chu Ishikawa's metal percussion unit, and evolves in the same universe as the Tetsuo soundtrack which he crafted: loud metallic rhythms, frantic synth lines and a sense of virulent energy. This first album gathers edited tracks from live performances between 1993 and 1994.

Ennio Morricone - Chi L'ha Vista Morire? (Fin de Siècle Media)
Label info: "One of Ennio Morricone's long overlooked masterworks, the collection of eerie, dissonant choral pieces and freaky takes on traditional Italian children's songs that is Chi l'ha vista morire? is as compelling on its own as it is fascinating in its interaction with the 1972 film. While at first celebrating a carefree childhood, then lamenting its helplessness and unavoidable loss, Ennio Morricone's brilliant pieces in the end move on to address darker areas of the human psyche, the hysterical chants of the choir imbuing an unnerving sense of schizophrenia in the listener. The hint of Catholic liturgy that characterizes the music is, naturally, just another poignant contribution to the mystery of Chi l'ha vista morire?, in which innocence and evil, desire and violence, all get mixed up. Restored from the original stereo master tapes and presented in 6-page digipak with original artwork, liner notes and film stills."

Franco Micalizzi - Adolescenza Perversa (Fin de Siècle Media)
Label info: "World premiere release of this fantastic soundtrack to the obscure erotic drama from 1974, starring Femi Benussi, Malisa Longo and Dagmar Lassander. Franco Micalizzi delivers a number of beautiful and catchy themes which can easily compete with Ennio Morricone's best moments, and together with Edda Dell'Orso's occasional wordless vocals it's a winning combination. Presented in a 4-page digipak with original artwork and liner notes by John Mansell."

Franco Micalizzi - Superuomini Superdonne Superbotte (Fin de Siècle Media)
Label info: "Franco Micalizzi was born in Rome 21 December 1939. After composing a few soundtracks in the end of the sixties, he gained success in 1970 with the music for "Lo chiamavano Trinita'..." (My Name Is Trinity). During the seventies, he became one of the most prolific composers of Italian film music, scoring cult classics like "Roma a mano armata" (Rome Armed to the Teeth), "Napoli violenta" (Violent Naples) and "Chi Sei?" (Beyond the Door)."
"The score for SUPERUOMINI SUPERDONNE SUPERBOTTE has never been released before in any form, making this CD the world premiere! The untitled cues have been carefully restored from the stereo master tapes, except the bonus tracks which could only be found on a mono source with inferior sound quality. Some of the shortest and most recurring themes have been merged together to further enhance the listening experience."

Label info: "World premiere of the complete soundtrack to this obscure crime thriller from 1974, including the two tracks previously released on vinyl single only, presented in a stylish digipak with liner notes by Pollanet Squad. It's a varied affair with styles including orchestral, funky, groovy and atmospheric - just about everything you can ask for from a 70's cops and robbers soundtrack!"

Giorgio Gaslini - Rivelazioni di un Maniaco Sessuale... (Fin de Siècle Media)
Label info: "Giorgio Gaslini is a highly trained and world renowned musician, a maestro of not only composition but also of jazz and contemporary classical music. He is most well-known to Euro-genre hounds for his co-scoring of Dario Argento’s monumental giallo PROFONDO ROSSO (DEEP RED), together with the progressive rock giants Goblin.
The score for RIVELAZIONI DI UN MANIACO SESSUALE AL CAPO DELLA SQUADRA MOBILE (REVELATIONS OF A SEX MANIAC, PENETRATION) is a known favorite among the cadre of international afficionados of Italian cult-cinema, and for good reason; this is a very skillful and satisfying work – which also features splendid vocal performances by the one and only Edda Dell’Orso. Supporting the effect of the killer’s anthem is a series of dissonant suspense cues and each of these contribute to the underlying psychological stress inherent to the narrative. Counterbalancing the score’s darker portions are a series of lighter excursions into the realms of lounge and easy instrumentals - truly inspired music for a maniac!
Culled from the vaults of Cinevox and carefully restored by Claudio Fuiano, this CD premiere release does not only present the LP tracks in full stereo – as much as 17 unreleased tracks have been saved from obscurity. Presented in a 6-page digipak with original artwork and extensive liner notes by John Bender, Fin de Siècle Media are proud to give another underrated composer the attention he most certainly deserves."

Hermann Kopp - Nekronology (Red Stream)
Label info: "Nekronology is a compilation of mournful musical selections from director Jorg Buttgereit's infamous films, Nekromantik, Nekromantik 2, and Der Todesking. The tracks contained on this release were performed by artist Hermann Kopp. The idea behind the music was to create a dreary atmosphere through a raw, ritualistic sound. You can hear Kopp's signature violin groans, and moog snythesizer during scenes such as the bathtub suicide, the rabbit being skinned alive, and the necrophila sequences. Co-released with underground splatter mag, Ultra Violent."

Ishai Adar - Beaufort Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Ak Duck)
Original soundtrack to "Beaufort", the 2007 Berlinale Film Festival Silver Bear winner for best director. "Beaufort" tells the story of the last group of IDF soldiers stationed in the South Lebanon outpost of the same name, prior to the evacuation of Israeli forces from the country in 2000.
Its soundtrack was composed by Israeli electronic artist Ishai Adar, who was previously involved in the experimental pop band "The Top-Hat Carriers". This is Adar's second motion picture soundtrack, and it's an ominous and pensive combination of processed digital sounds, warm ambient drones and sedated melodies. The press release suggests comparisons to Philip Jack, Biosphere & William Basinski, but this comes recommended to anyone looking for a great example of a subtle contemporary electronic score.

Le Forbici Di Manitu - Terrore Nello Spazio (Small Voices)
Label info: "One of the most enigmatic, eclectic and cosmopolitan bands of the Italian electronic scene returns with a singular sonorization - originally commissioned by the sci-fi festival Invasioni and performed live in Cosenza in Summer 2001 - paying a tribute to the cult movie Terrore nello spazio (1965, a.k.a. Planet of the Vampires and The Demon Planet) by Mario Bava, the undisputed and unforgotten Maestro of Italian gothic and macabre cinema.
Based freely on the story (later plagiarized by Ridley Scott’s Alien) of the spaceships Argot and Galliot, attracted to land on a dying planet by ectoplasmic alien-vampires that in order to escape to other worlds need to take possession of the body of astronauts turning them into living zombies, Le Forbici di Manitù have created a sharp-witted hybrid of B-movies retro-fascinations and stylized genre contaminations, by mixing samplers and analogic electronics with an instrumentation hinting at jazz (flute, clarinet, congas, vibraphone) and disseminating the score with surreal cut-ups of dialogues from vintage films [...], to permeate it with a mid-Sixties mood."
