A driving force in what some critics dubbed "Italian Occult Psychedelia", Heroin In Tahiti from Rome inaugurate 2014 with two tracks of their unmistakable Spaghetti-Sound. 
On Side A, "Peplum" is an apocalyptic take on some imaginary Morricone soundtrack, filled with twangy guitars, doomsday synths, and even a mellotron: listen to it, and you will see Lee Van Cleef's ominous face wandering in a fucked up roman borgata, year 2018. 
Side B's "Alo" is more in the giallo-vein and sounds like a clash between Bruno Nicolai and Demdike Stare. The track was originally conceived for "In Every Dream Home A Heartache", an exhibition by artist Phil Collins (not that...) which saw Heroin In Tahiti contribute with sounds and visions together with artists such as David Sylvian, Laetitia Sadier, Pye Corner Audio, and Demdike Stare themselves.

Spaziale - Porno Disco Vol. 6 (2014)

Transportation is the time-traveling vehicle of Chandra Oppenheim, a 12-year-old fronting a hair-raising post-punk / mutant-disco outfit. The year was 1980, and the setting was Hell’s Kitchen, New York, at the anomalous intersection of art and music. As the daughter of eminent conceptual artist Dennis Oppenheim, Chandra showed considerable promise as a songwriter and performer from the age of 7. This inspired New York noisemakers The Model Citizens (later transforming into The Dance) to approach the young firestarter and become her backing band.

The original Transportation EP was released in 1980 by Go Go Records, the band’s own imprint, and has since become a long-lost cult classic. Cantor Records is proud to reissue the four-song EP with the addition of four unreleased songs by The Chandra Dimension (Chandra’s touring band comprised entirely of teenagers). Following a previous 2008 pressing, the perpetually out of print and highly sought after release is available on vinyl once again.
