Kema (aka Giulia Alessandroni)
Alle Sorgenti Delle Civiltà (The Sources Of Civilisation)
10" + D/L CODE* | MP3
The first-ever dedicated album release by pioneering female Italian film music composer/arranger/multi-instrumentalist Giulia De Muittis (aka Mrs. Alessandro Alessandroni). Rare undercover pseudo-ethnological studio sessions made under her experimental alter ego Kema (The Pawnshop/Abnormal Sensations) combining the ethos of Can's Ethnological Forgery Series (EFS) with the studio trickery of Delia Derbyshire and unshakable credentials as one of the founding figures of Giallo film music and Italian psych soundtracks.

Daniela Casa
Arte Moderna
LP + D/L CODE*
A further reappraisal of the music of one of the few female composers from 1970's Italian library/soundtrack secret society. This fully formed project from the blink-to-miss artsploitation micro-genre stands up as one of Daniela Casa's few sanctioned dedicated concept albums witnessing the individualistic composer create uninhabited thematic instrumental abstraction in an uncompromised solo capacity. Arte Moderna sees Casa merging cinematic, avant garde, free jazz and Giallo tension utilising customised organic and traditional elements alongside restrained electronic effects in a timeless varied contemporary stylistic setting. This pink vinyl edition is loving packaged in an exclusive die cut sleeve.
