Lee from Motionsound sold a copy of Inseminoid on here for a fair price. I think @Spun picked it up? I don't remember what he was asking for it though.

@static - If you were ever going to drop $60 on an LP, then I would say that an original Phantasm is a great choice!

You have a good memory. That's correct, I picked it up as part of a deal with the Donnagio score to Phantom of Death...

Think I paid around £45 for that platter - which is probably the equivalent of $50 in today's money, post Brexit! :)

I had been eyeing it up for a while - it must have been Tim (?) on here spinning it that tempted me to take the plunge

[Wonder what happened to Motionsound - Discogs claims they released 'Don't go in the Woods' but only 30 copies were ever pressed]

I know they had some problems with the pressing plant for that release, but I haven't heard an update in a while.

Finally checking out this Flipper Records compilation which is stacked with legendary Italian composers. It's quite gripping with some very lively and playful tension. Some killer drumming on the Bracardi brothers track. It all still feels a bit grim though, which really makes the few lovelier moments shine out brightly. Overall, an exciting listen.

Very much on the avant garde side of things.. lovely recording, but only go for it if you're into the stranger Morricone stuff. Although, the last two tracks are a bit funky with the female vocal driven "Canto Della Campana Stonata" having a very Morricone sound and "Sport M5" providing a psych-tinged percussive heavy hitter.

I wonder to what extent the other Gruppo members might have been involved in these recordings. For example the track "Volkswagen" sounds very gruppo-esque improvisation to me, and one of the tracks on the A side sounds like Macchi on strings. "Dormiveglia" also has Gruppo sound... In fact as I type this I just noticed "(G.I.N.C.)" on the track list, so I guess these are definitely Gruppo recordings.

The track "Urla Al Tramonto" could be on rotation at Guantanamo Bay as it features extended technique on the recorder over tribal drumming. "Adagio Sacrale" is a choir piece for what must be I Cantori Moderni Di Alessandroni.

I am not sure what these recordings were intended for, but it does seem like maybe a compilation of unreleased material rather than one cohesive piece.

That feeling when a previously unobtainable album finally hits your turntable and sounds amazing.

A big thank you to Four Flies for putting this all together -- thick laminated reproduction sleeve and black wax, and the notes on the reverse from Sorgini himself are a wonderful read. He seems surprised to discover there is a large worldwide adoration for his work outside of Italy, where he says it saw little recognition. Sorgini comes across as very humble, but filled with creativity and talent. He performs many instruments himself on his albums, and with some additions: the flute on the opener Mad Town gets a lot of praise, but for me, it's all about the nuts bongo percussion on Ultima Caccia. That track is a monster! Sorgini writes about both of those talented performers in the notes. For the most part though, the album is filled with lovely, moody orchestra and synthesizer work, and even a special appearance from Edda Dell'Orso on Red, Old Skies. The content and message of the original documentary also appeals to me, and fits well with the overall music composition. Very special.

Changing things up a bit. Congrats to whomever scored the OG copy of this album from Transmission. It's such a fun listen. Looking forward to the upcoming Perfect Blue OST from Tiger Lab.
