Now Again Records and Sonor Music Editions announces the debut release by The Kimba Unit on 45. Grown up in Los Angeles, the talented Kimba made his musical studies in New York, developing his personal portfolio while listening to the Jazz mentors of American Spiritual/Avant-garde (Sun Ra especially), and being deeply influenced by the legendary Madlib's Jazz projects. Since his very young age, he travelled a lot to Italy, and this created the connection with the world of Italian Library music and the renomated Italian composers like Piero Umiliani and Piero Piccioni, that definitely completed and surely influenced his musical taste. The 3 tracks from this EP are entirely DIY studio recordings, with a distinct Lo-Fi sound and shades of Spiritual Jazz all over.

ELIOS is the new, long-awaited second album by the explosive combo PARBLEU. After the success of their debut masterpiece "Danse Cette Zik!", the band continues its deep exploration of a variety of styles and influences, synthesizing Afrobeat, Island Disco, House, and electronic grooves all awash with breezy vocals en francais. With ELIOS, Parbleu manages to evoke a very specific vibe of the 1980s' frenzy while maintaining a decidedly contemporary feel – a perfect hybrid of the Old and the New – with great elan. The resulting mix is a high energy trip around the world, from the Caribbean to the Cote d’Azur to the Persian Gulf to shores unknown. Bon Voyage!

Sonor Music Editions is honored to announce the reissue of the very rare LP “Aquarium Sounds” by Italian composer Filippo Trecca. Originally released in 1979 as a promo-only item, “Aquarium Sounds” is a hybrid collection of tracks; some were used as the soundtrack to the thriller TV series “Così Per Gioco” (1979), directed by Leonardo Cortese; others from the talk show “Acquario” (1978-1979) hosted by Italian journalist and writer Maurizio Costanzo. The album also includes “Elena Tip” which features playful vocals by a young Ilona Staller (aka Cicciolina).

Released on limited edition of 500 copies only.

This exceptionally rare library album by Italian composer, musician, and guitarist Mario Molino was first released on the obscure library music imprint B.M.P. during the 1970s. It was later issued on the highly collectible Music Scene label rebranded as Action Beat Group (MSE-144), featuring different track titles and attributed to the pseudonym Luigi Ferracioli.

Although much about him remains unknown to this day, Mario Molino was a prominent figure in the world library music, celebrated for his genre-spanning versatility. On one hand, he was a virtuoso classical guitarist, while on the other, he had a strong foundation in jazz and contemporary music. This duality, spanning from classical guitar solos to spaced out psychedelic rock with fuzzed guitars, eccentric funk-infused Hammond organ grooves, proto-hip hop, and orchestral compositions, is reflected in his discography. His catalog includes rare and sought-after releases like Antico e Moderno (C 364) on Fonit's Usignolo series, Love on Vroommm Records, Beat Gregoriano on Montecarlo, I Beats on Pentaphon, alongside numerous library and soundtracks releases.

The Diamonds Four stands as a hidden gem in Molino's oeuvre, seamlessly aligning with his best releases, as it contains a superb blend of groovy psychedelic funk, breezy bossa nova, killer jazz beat tunes and expansive mood-music. With only a handful of original pressings ever surfacing over the years, The Diamonds Four (as well as the later issue as Action Beat Group) earned its status as a unique and widely valued record among library and soundtrack enthusiasts worldwide.

Sonor Music Editions is happy to announce the vinyl reissue of Riz Ortolani's iconic soundtrack to the 1969 giallo thriller "Così Dolce... Così Perversa" (So Sweet, So Perverse). This highly sought-after score, composed by the legendary maestro behind "Mondo Cane," perfectly captures this obscure film's atmosphere of suspense, eroticism, and deception. Directed by Umberto Lenzi and starring Carroll Baker and Jean-Louis Trintignant, "Così Dolce... Così Perversa" is a stylish and thrilling film masterpiece from the Italian Giallo movies golden era. Ortolani's score is an essential ingredient in the film's success, with its haunting melodies, driving rhythms, and the unforgettable main theme, "Why?" featuring lyrics by Norman Newell.

24 years after its first vinyl release, this lost Italian soundtrack gets new life with a fresh reissue and fully remastered sound from the original master tapes, on a limited edition of 500 copies.

The Natural Yogurt Band, a mysterious and surprising music project arising from English countryside, has beautifully constructed a musical Parasol with this new album—not just a traditional sunshade, but a metaphorical shield (“para” in Latin) against visual dischord, noise, the ultra sonic spectrum, and generally all things unwanted.

Parasol, composed by Miles Newbold—one of the most unique and fascinating figures in the contemporary neo-library psychedelic jazz fusion scene—was recorded in rural Derbyshire, nestled between hills and trees. The result is unmistakably singular, carrying The Natural Yogurt Band’s wild yet perfectly balanced signature sound: raw-edged compositions, solid but fragile textures, and heavy drum. All of it is framed by Newbold’s exceptional and uncompromising production style, which functions, fittingly, as a parasol—a protective barrier against the modern world’s relentless disturbances.

The German guitarist, bandleader and soundscape architect JJ Whitefield has been an innovative force of the contemporary scene of Neo-Jazz-Kraut, and adjacent sub-genres within the world of organic grooves, ever since the early 1990s. The work with his group Poets of Rhythm drew the blueprint for what’s now known as retro-soul, and his creative canvas has never been blank since with numerous solo projects and collaborations across diverse constellations.

'Oﬀ The Grid' is yet another testament to JJ Whitefield’s creativity. The album perfectly connects the dots to the spirit of the golden age of library music waving together a rich tapestry of his world of playfulness, hypnotic grooves, and driving drums. It breathes new life into the genre while continuing to shape the future, as he has for over three decades.

OFF THE GRID

JJ Whitefield - OFF THE GRID

A Milan-born multi-instrumentalist of Venetian heritage, Alberto Baldan Bembo was a gifted vibraphonist, organist, pianist, arranger, and composer whose work bridged jazz, pop, and film music. By the early 1960s, he was performing with Italy’s leading ensembles, including I Menestrelli del Jazz and Bruno De Filippi’s group, and soon became an in-demand session musician. For several years, he toured with the legendary Mina, providing the piano and organ backbone to her live shows—a role that sharpened the cinematic sensibility and refined musicianship that would later define his soundtrack work. In the years to come, he would be celebrated for his scores to films such as L’Amica Di Mia Madre (1975) and Lingua Argento (1976), earning a place alongside Piero Umiliani, Alessandro Alessandroni, Berto Pisano, and other luminaries of Italy’s golden age of soundtrack and library music.

Io E Mara is the soundtrack to a film that was never made. Originally released on the CGD label in 1969, this debut album from the brilliant Maestro Baldan Bembo is a sophisticated concept-album tracing 24 hours in the life of two young lovers. Told entirely through music, the record unfolds as a continuous suite of ten tracks, where cinematic lounge, bossa, and jazz flavors mingle to create a dreamlike atmosphere. Baldan Bembo’s signature piano and organ are masterfully complemented by Mara’s ethereal vocals, while immersive soundscapes of crashing waves, seagulls, and rain showers enhance the feeling of a deeply personal and intimate journey.

A cast of exceptional musicians brings this vision to life, including Bruno De Filippi on electric guitar and sitar, Carlo Milano on electric bass, Rolando Ceragioli on drums, and Pasquale Liguori on sound effects. This singular work not only showcases the burgeoning talent of a future soundtrack master but also features the original pop art front cover by Italian cult illustrator Guido Crepax.

Originally released in 1969 on RCA Original Cast / General Music



Sonor Music Editions proudly presents the definitive reissue of Piero Piccioni’s often unheralded soundtrack to the 1969 bittersweet Italian comedy classic Amore Mio Aiutami (Help Me, My Love), starring two giants of Italian cinema, Monica Vitti and Alberto Sordi.



This soundtrack is a prime example of Piccioni’s immense talent as a composer of timeless, lushly orchestrated lounge music — a masterpiece of its era that rightfully deserves its place alongside his most cherished works from the same period, such as Colpo Rovente, Camille 2000, Appassionata, Il Dio Sotto La Pelle, and Travolti Da Un Insolito Destino Nell’Azzurro Mare D’Agosto (Swept Away). In recent years, it has found new life in the age of streaming, being extensively rediscovered and sampled within the hip-hop and lo-fi communities.



Maestro Piero Piccioni remains one of the brightest shining stars among Italian composers from the golden age of cinema, soundtracks, and library music. With a prolific career that includes more than 300 film scores, Piccioni began his journey in the world of cinema in Rome during the 1950s. At the time, he was practicing law but soon began composing for film, developing a particularly close working relationship with directors Francesco Rosi and Alberto Sordi.



Among his vast body of work—especially his collaborations with Sordi—Amore Mio Aiutami stands at the pinnacle of Piccioni’s oeuvre, showcasing his style of composition and production. The score moves seamlessly from sophisticated bossa and lounge pieces like “Amanda Strain,” “North Pole Penguin,” and the versions of “Bossa Per Alberto” (the latter not included on the original 1969 RCA Records KOLS 1007 release)—performed with a smaller jazz combo—to dreamy vocal pieces by Nora Orlandi and her choir, including “Miss Luna Special,” “Luna Amore E.… No,” and “Luna Non Sei Nessuna,” featuring British actress and dancer Gloria Paul. The highlight, however, perhaps remains the pastoral main theme, where romantic strings intertwine with Piccioni’s unmistakable sound and bittersweet melodies — forever linked to Italian Commedia all’italiana films, of which Amore Mio Aiutami is a prime example.



This revitalized reissue of Piero Piccioni’s Amore Mio Aiutami soundtrack has been carefully remastered by Jonathan Dakers, lacquer-cut by Jukka Sarapää at Timmion Cutting, and packaged in a thick cardboard tip-on sleeve with fully restored artwork. It also includes two versions of “Bossa Per Alberto” as bonus tracks.

Medical Records in collaboration with Crispy Nuggets blog (crispynuggets.blogspot.com) presents a compilation/reissue of the rare 4 song EP by Near Paris released in 1985 + 7 unreleased/unheard songs recorded during the same time. Near Paris hailed from Columbus, Ohio and was composed of Gerald F. Nelson and Dana Riashi. Gerald and Dana (in addition to Robert Crise) had previously made up the band Post Industrial Noise before they disbanded in 1983. By 1985, Near Paris were quite popular in the Columbus music scene and had opened for such bands as Section 25. They made a name for themselves as Columbus’ only synth-driven pop duo and even won several local awards. They often played in art galleries as well as worked on original scores for local dance troupes and other art-related endeavors. They band released one long out of print 12” EP which is included on this LP. The EP contains excellent new wave tracks such as “Visions” and “Ceiling” The 7 unreleased tracks (hand-picked by Gerald and Dana) follow the same style of deep/moody club-based synthpop and were culled from cassettes which were restored and remastered specially for this vinyl release with outstanding end results. Other standout tracks from the unreleased numbers include “Walk Like A Man” and “Everything Will Change”. Sadly, just prior to completion of this project, Gerald passed away in October of 2012. This LP will appeal to fans of early/mid 80s synth/new wave. Presented on 180gram oxblood opaque high-quality vinyl in a limited edition of 650 copies. Bonus insert included as well with bio/pics of Near Paris and memorial to late member Gerald F. Nelson.
