    “An official selection of the Sundance and SXSW film festivals, Hobo With a Shotgun is a gore filled, bloody-tastic ode to 1970′s grindhouse cinema that continues to go there even after you think it can’t anymore. An over-the-top, fun to watch film for those who don’t mind movies that serve up blood & guts alongside gratuitous violence and sex as pure escapist entertainment.”

    This Just In: Eclectic Compilations and Reissues

    posted by Emile

    This new bunch of records has a little of something for everyone. Don’t let the construction fool you – we’re open and fully stocked with sounds you’ve got to have.

    Various – Future Bass 3LP:
    “Soul Jazz Records have brought together some of the UKs most pioneering producers of the day to create an album that can only be defined as future music. All new exclusive tracks from a set of artists all at the height of their respective careers alongside heavyweight new-wave producers. From the off-kilter hypnotic post-House bass music of Four Tet (one of the most hyped tracks of late) to the boundary pushing genre busting post-Dubstep of Mala and Coki (the two halves of Digital Mystikz), Untold and more alongside truly uniques tracks such as Kevin Martin/The Bug’s latest incarnation, Black Chow. Future music! Future Bass! Future Bass is packaged in a limited-edition deluxe plastic casing with set of free postcards and vinyl comes on super-loud, super-heavyweight triple vinyl, mastered at Transition.”

    Vampyros Lesbos (A Sexadelic Dance Party) LP:
    Also the soundtrack for Jess Franco´s cult film Vampyros Lesbos, the songs from the hard to find LPs Psychedelic Dance Party and Sexadelic were written in 1969 and released in 1970. They were composed by Manfred Hübler and Siegfried Schwab. Sexadelic Dance Party is a compilation with the best titles [from each]. The musical background placed within red-light swing, sleazy psychedelic and strip ballads.” –Crippled Dick Hot Wax (Germany)

    Spiritualized – Pure Phase 2LP:
    “1995′s Pure Phase was Spiritualized’s eagerly awaited second album. Pure Phase showcases both a more symphonic sound as well as a dreamy rock grandeur. Think of Brian Wilson and La Monte Young recording together and you’ll have a good idea of the Spiritualized totality. Pure Phase is both beautiful and innovative; more than just psychedelic, it’s celestial.” 180 gram vinyl with printed innersleeves.
