With The Final Exorcism, Dead Witches roar back from the studio on two wheels, Chuckalumba, where the fabled sessions for Dopethrone (2000) and Let Us Prey (2002) by Electric Wizard were recorded, as well as Dead Witches' debut Ouija (HPS 048CD/LP/LTD-LP, 2017). Sessions began on the full moon, 25th August in the heart of the New Forest deep in Dorset, the hallowed home of '90s doom legends Electric Wizard folklore, marking Mark's fourth time in both bands at Chuckalumba. John Stephens, operating the living museum of antique analog and valve-driven studio gear and tape machines captured a world of demons and possessions. A banshee wail of woeful siren song weaving a sinister world of horror doom, through waves of burgeoning fuzz and hell-sent thunder on the drum kit. Realizing the magnitude of what they had committed to tape, Dead Witches began to seek Doug Shearer, wizard of mastering and the final member in the coven, his previous also including Dopethrone and Let Us Prey.

LP version. Transparent orange vinyl. Heavy Psych Sounds presents a reissue of Dzjenghis Khan's self-titled album, originally issued in 2007. Dzjenghis Khan is one of the most important psych-acid rock albums of the new millennium. The San Francisco-based band Dzjenghis Khan featured bassist Carson Binks (also in Wild Eyes and Saviours). This record reflects the musical scene of that era and it's still a raw acid rock pearl. Heavy Psych Sounds Records brings back to the current audience a piece of real acid rock; Dzjenghis Khan was one of the first bands to bring back the psych sound, in a time where there was not a real audience; one can say they were pioneers after the pioneers! Dzjenghis Khan is ten killer tracks; the sound is dirty, fuzzy, raw - the atmosphere is nearly lo-fi but the riffing will melt your face.

"The jungle is coming up to the door, The birds that are calling are hard to ignore" Inferno is acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Robert Forster's first solo album since 2015 -- his second album over the last eleven years. Forster only makes records when he feels he has the songs -- on Inferno, he has nine he totally believes in. They range from the exhilarating top-ten pop of "Inferno (Brisbane In Summer)", the beach shack groove of "Life Has Turned A Page", via the 1977 New York strut of "Remain", to finish in a way that this concise, brilliant, drama- and wit-filled album only can -- on the big build epic "One Bird In The Sky". Inferno was made in Berlin in 2018, during the hottest German summer in decades. Noted producer/engineer Victor Van Vugt -- Beth Orton Trailer Park (1996), PJ Harvey's Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea (2000) -- recorded the album; the first time he and Forster had worked together since Van Vugt engineered Forster's debut solo album classic Danger In The Past in Berlin in 1990. Inferno in its making is a perfect mix of the familiar and the new. Also working with Forster again, are Brisbane based multi-instrumentalists Scott Bromley and Karin Bãumler from Songs to Play (TR 324CD/LP, 2015), while new recruits are drummer Earl Havin (Tindersticks, Mary J. Blige) and keyboardist Michael Muhlhaus (Blumfeld, Kante). Four musicians from the corners of the world, who, with Van Vugt's bold and beautiful production, sound like a band of the ages. In front of them, Forster delivers the best vocal performances of his career over the last four years Forster has been busy. He curated the acclaimed, Domino Records released, Anthology Volume 1 1978-1984 on his old band The Go-Betweens. His memoir Grant & I was Mojo and Uncut's "Book Of The Year". He continues to publish music journalism, play concerts, and he never stops writing beautiful songs.

Lady of Mine is the 1989 debut LP by self-made Italian-American Joe Tossini. An astoundingly honest, passionate record of cosmopolitan lounge music, he willed this charming suburban oddity into existence without any formal musical training. Sicilian by birth, Tossini drifted around the world between Italy, Germany and Canada, before finally settling in New Jersey. After the passing of his mother and the breakdown of a second marriage, an anxious and depressed Tossini took to songwriting as a form of therapy, crafting disarmingly candid lyrics from his extraordinary life and loves. Whatever industry savvy or musical virtuosity he lacked was made up for by unflinching resourcefulness and infectious charisma. Befriending bandleader Peppino Lattanzi at local club The Rickshaw Inn, he was encouraged to animate his singular songs with an ambitious cast of nine players and five backing vocalists, sincerely credited as his Friends. The Atlantic City basement sessions are a low-budget, high-romance testament to Tossini's character and the power of positive thinking. From the defiant, Casiotone samba of "If I Should Fall In Love", to "Wild Dream"'s dizzying escapism and the native tongue croons of "Sulla Luna" and "Sincerita", Lady Of Mine hums with the inimitable magic of a true original. Piercing the heart with an effectively sparse combination of humming keys, CompuRhythm drums, horn flourishes and backing divas, ample room was left for Tossini to frankly deliver his much-needed life lessons. Underperforming commercially at the hands of short-lived label IEA Records, Lady of Mine has since earned a place in the outsider music canon. Recently peaking interest as a cornerstone of the Sky Girl compilation (EFFICIENT 002CD/LP, 2016), the private press trades for inordinate sums, typically with no financial benefit to its creator. Lady of Mine is now finally reissued on the artist's own terms via Joe Tossini Music, in partnership with Efficient Space, restored from original master tapes with unseen photos, extensive liner notes and Tossini's trademark wisdom. Devoutly independent, Tossini has previously self-released the 2015 instrumental album When You Love Someone as well as two books -- a new fiction novel The Devil In White and his autobiography The Accounts of My Life (2014). Placed #10 on Waxidermy's Top 100 private pressings, alongside Donnie & Joe Emerson's Dreamin' Wild (1976), Jim Sullivan's UFO (1969), Stan Hubbs's Crystal (1982), and The Shaggs' Philosophy Of The World (1969).

For The Colleagues Of Ubu & Their Authorities is the brainchild of Vienna-based vinyl enthusiast, DJ, and producer The Reboot Joy Confession. What once started as a series of mixes has been expanded into this compilation, on which he brings together diverse genres of music like electronica, modern minimalism, folk, post-rock, avant-garde, or modular music, which also reflect his own versatile musical taste. The compilation includes the surreal work of Swiss producer Dim Grimm (also known as Dimlite), as well as a collaboration between Merz & Julian Sartorius Drum Ensemble who radically altered the original version of "The Hunting Owl" into a monstrous percussive live version. Taken off the debut album from one of Poland ́s most interesting musicians at the moment, Waclaw Zimpel & Kuba Ziołek, "Wrens" is a fusion of folk, jazz and modern minimal music. Experimental pop musician and filmmaker Tujiko Noriko appears with an emotional piece that challenges the paths between pop and avant-garde. Gerhard Zander, whose musical work started on the outskirts of experimental pop music in the early '70s in Germany, delivers a modular synth masterpiece with unique sounds, textures, and a far-out synth choir. Rock and ambient influenced musician Helen Money (aka Alison Chesley) is a Los Angeles-based cellist and composer who appears with a massively dark post-rock song called "MF", which was recorded at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio studio in Chicago in 2009. Often compared to Frank Zappa and known for their richness of ideas, Liverpool's a.P.A.t.T. contribute the hypnotic "Young Free & Parasite", with references to British glam, post-punk, or synth rock, but in a fresh and obscure sounding outfit. SSELLF, the moniker of New Zealand ́s Christoph El Truento, inspired by post-punk and noise. "Visitors" is simple and simply in your face, with lo-fi drums, distorted synths, and raw vocals. After a few seclusive years, The Reboot Joy Confession returns with a new, crispy and soulful track. Cinematic strings written by Martin Riedler, arranged by Flip Phillip, and recorded at the established Vienna Konzerthaus, based on a properly arranged drum outfit and played by a villain named Gurlimu. Oceaneer, aka Japanese pianist Oneechan Nanashi, completes the compilation with her beautiful and profound composition "The Sea, Forever".

Swedish behemoths MZ.412 return with Svartmyrkr, their first full-length in 12 years, once again asserting their dominion as the true kings of black industrial. Svartmyrkr is a massive tour de force that reinvents the classic sound of MZ.412 whilst retaining their trademark malevolent harshness. This album is dedicated to the true hell of the north -- Helheim -- and the giant goddess that rules it, Hel. From blackened ritual incantations, to bleak yet beautiful dark ambient arrangements, to harsh bombastic orchestrations, this album exceeds all expectations. MZ.412 blur the lines between music, magick and reality. The earth trembles... the mountains quake... all light is vanquished. The Swedish overlords darken the hearts and extinguish the souls of all who bear witness to Svartmyrkr. Beginning in 1988 (as Maschinenzimmer 412), MZ.412 are the inventors of black industrial, a genre mixing industrial noise, ritual ambient and black metal atmospheres. The band gained notoriety through their early releases on Cold Meat Industry. The mastermind behind the project is Henrik "Nordvargr" Björkk (Pouppée Fabrikk, Folkstorm, etc.), with Drakh (Beyond Sensory Experience) and Ulvtharm. Composed, recorded and produced by Nordvargr, Ulvtharm, and Drakh. 2015-2018. E.V. guitars on "Lokastafr Ablaze With The Thorns Of Death" by Kristoffer Oustad, additional atmospheres and vibrations by Siegfried Meinertz. Artwork by Axel Torvenius. Digipak.

Favorite Recordings and Charles Maurice present the fourth edition of the AOR Global Sounds compilation series: 14 rare and hidden tracks, produced between 1977 and 1986 in various parts of the world. Started in 2015, the AOR Global Sounds series was born from the will of Charles Maurice (aka Pascal Rioux) to share his longtime love for the AOR and west coast movement and highlight its influence for many artists in the late '70s and early '80s. In this fourth volume, he again selected largely forgotten productions, deeply infused with disco and soul flavors. Half of the compilation's track list naturally comes from the US, homeland of this style of music, but the other half is made of productions from all over the globe, from France to Belgium, from Italy to Mexico. And for most of these beautiful songs, it comes from artists and bands largely unknown and often released as private press. As an example, "Come Back" is the result of a music talent competition won by a student band named Parenthèse, gaining a full recording session in a professional studio and the production of a limited promotional 7", which stayed completely obscure until now. "Mellow Out" comes from the only album by Pacific Dreams, which was fully self-produced and released by its leader Tommy Sweet. Fernando Toussaint, however, had quite a solid career and discography as a drummer, forming the Mexican jazz-funk band Sacbé with his brother, and had one solo album released in very limited quantities on Discos Alebrije, a label directed by Alain Derbez. As for "Never Was Love" by Russ Long, despite becoming quite famous when recorded and sang by Judy Roberts, it's still surprisingly undiscovered in its original version, taken from Russ' beautiful album from 1982, Long On Jazz In Kansas City. There are stories like this for each of the titles included in AOR Global Sounds Volume 4, but the best way to learn more about all these gems is to listen to them, fully remastered from originals, whether your preference is for vinyl or CD. Also features: Arlana, Omega Sunrise, Jonathan Jr., Isabelle Mayereau, Oro, Todd Mcclenathan, Mario Acquaviva, Special Occasion, Miller, Miller, Miller & Sloan and Scott Cunningham.

LP version, limited red vinyl. The rays of The Sonic Dawn are like a reminder that reality is only temporary. Flickering between light and darkness, their sound burns with an intensity that places the Danish trio among the top psychedelic acts of their time. Following their first two album releases, The Sonic Dawn have toured Europe more or less constantly, only returning home to focus on their biggest work to date: Eclipse. Their third full-length, is the product of a full year's labor, with all 13 tracks carefully selected from among over 40 candidates. Inspired by personal tragedies and the current meltdown of the world as we know it, the songs deal with a feeling of despair that many will recognize, but also seem to say that one can heal and come out stronger, if one dares take the leap. The result is a cinematic journey in sonic technicolor. Here, even the catchiest melody casts a mysterious shadow, and every mind-altering solo is torn out of Emil Bureau's guitar as if it owed him money. Eclipse was recorded to tape at The Village Recording, Denmark's best analog studio, and produced by The Sonic Dawn and Thomas Vang (Roger Waters, etc.). Mastered at Svenska Grammofonstudion by Hans Olsson Brookes (Graveyard, etc.), and cut to vinyl at Abbey Road Studios, for the ultimate sound quality.

Out-Sider present the first ever reissue Hasting's Street Opera's Slippery When Wet, a US private pressing from 1969 unknown until now. Underground, psychedelic, electric jazz-rock/improv sound with mellow folk-rock moves and homemade/basement atmosphere. Mostly instrumental with some cut-up vocal sounds and effects. A mix of self-penned songs and amazing cover versions of classics like "Summertime", "Scarborough Fair", or "A Taste Of Honey" turned into hip, extended jams not so far away from the sound of the pioneering psychedelic ballroom bands from San Francisco. Electric and acoustic guitars, bass, drums, flute... Recommended if you like similar private psych-jazz obscurities like Elysian Spring. Named after an old Detroit blues LP, Hasting's Street Opera was formed in Montclair, New Jersey by a group of young friends (Harry Wellott, Gordon Carlisle, Don Hathaway, and Chris Nelson) influenced by blues, rock, jazz, and the eclectic sounds emanating from freeform/underground FM radio stations: Blues Project, Butterfield Blues Band, Miles Davies, Pharaoh Sanders, Jethro Tull... Initially born as a blues band, HSO eventually evolved into a true improvisation collective unit. Slippery When Wet was recorded in 1969 at Don's house using a portable recorder operated by their math teacher, the famous old-time music preserver Charles Faurot. It was a vanity pressing of less than 100 copies, housed in hand-made covers which were distributed among friends and family. For this, the first ever reissue, original band member and visual artist Gordon Carlisle has designed a new vintage-styled cover based on old photos of the band. Includes insert with liner notes by the band members and photos; Includes download card.

LP version. Includes original four-page insert full of session photos and credits. Wewantsounds present a reissue of Jaye P. Morgan's 1976 ultra-rare private press, featuring the cream of the LA jazz and funk scene -- and one of David Foster's first productions -- is reissued on vinyl and CD. This lost classic recorded in LA at the legendary Sound City Studios is also the first full-blown production by David Foster two years before he co-produced Earth Wind & Fire's album I Am (1979) and went on to become one of the hottest producers on the scene. Featuring an extraordinary lineup of the best LA musicians including Harvey Mason, Ed Greene, Jay Graydon, Ray Parker Jr. Tower of Power, Ernie Watts, and many more, it's probably one of the most expensive private press ever produced and a delight of sophisticated Los Angeles funk featuring Jaye's superb soulful vocals. "This album is one of the first David ever produced and I know he was going all the way to the top" stated Jaye P. Morgan in an interview when asked about David Foster before adding: "I tried to make a soulful album and I loved David's work. We used the best musicians in the world." And they certainly did making this album one of the most expensive private presses in the world! This album was a bold move for the singer who had made her mark in the '50s and '60s as a singer and actress. Hiring Foster was a masterstroke as he hadn't yet produced any noticeable hit, but together they gathered the most impressive crew of musicians you could think of including two of Foster's closest associates, guitarist Jay Graydon and singer/arranger Bill Champlin (of Sons of Champlin's fame) and created the perfect white soul album with a breezy California feel. Featuring masterful renditions of such iconic songs as Stevie Wonder's songs as "Seems So Long" and Earth, Wind & Fire's "Can't Hide Love" (Foster, Champlin, and Graydon would soon pen "After The Love Has Gone" which would become a mega hit for Earth Wind & Fire two years later), together with a handpicked selection of originals, the sound alternates between up-tempo funk and soulful mid-tempo ballads, all served by Morgan's superb vocals. The missing link between Steely Dan and Earth, Wind & Fire, Jaye P. Morgan is pure, undiluted funk music and an essential LA classic.

Although their official output was very limited, The Belairs were one of the key bands in the birth of surf music. They spawned an influential musical legacy, paved the way for many other surf bands and their members went on to other famous outfits such as The Standells, Eddie & The Showmen, and The Challengers. Mr Moto: The Origins of Surf Music 1960-1963 gathers their 1961 hit "Mr Moto" and other studio and home recordings. The story of The Belairs started in 1959 in South Bay, Los Angeles. The first line-up consisted of Eddie Bertrand (guitar), Paul Johnson (guitar), Chas Stuart (saxophone), Richard Delvy (drums), and Jim Roberts (piano). Surf music was in its infancy as instrumental music fusing early rock with Middle Eastern, Mexican and Hawaiian touches. Playing fast, melodic scales and dealing with the use of reverb, it was a truly innovative sound. Dick Dale, The Ventures, and Duane Eddy hit the venues and airwaves. In this context, Bertrand and Johnson honed their trademark dual-guitar sound. Creating a unique sound to make their strings reverberate, the band signed with the Arvee label, which released Mr Moto in 1961, a surf-rock song with a flamenco-inspired intro. Their sound didn't have -- at least during this first phase -- a bass player. The bass-less structure worked in their favor, giving a special character to all the guitar nuances. Their short and successful career (not in terms of sales but in opening doors for other surf groups) was destined to produce only one more official single, with a different line-up. Their second single, Volcanic Action/Runaway (included here), was not even officially released. The band had some line-up changes, including adding a bass player, Steve Lotto, and new members like drummer Dickie Dodd and guitarist Art Fisher. This collection also includes four tracks recorded while The Belairs were without a record label. Songs like the propulsive "Chiflado", the danceable rock and roll "Duck Waddle", the swinging, jazzy "The Shimmy", and the hypnotic "Squad Car" prove the quality of the band's repertoire. In 1963, the instrumental fever gave its way to the explosion of the vocal surf music and success of the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, and popsters such as Frankie Avalon and Fabian mixing the surf aura with a more pop approach. Curiously, Johnson was invited to join The Beach Boys, but he declined the offer, staying firm in his convictions. Includes CD with 12 bonus tracks.
