Q Lazzarus - Goodbye Horses (12'', EP, reissue, Dark Entries Rec.)
Q Lazzarus is the moniker of Diane Luckey, born in New Jersey in 1960. While living in the East Village in New York City in the 1980s, Diane met songwriter Bill Garvey at a party and they recorded “Goodbye Horses” in his home studio. As the story goes, Luckey met Hollywood director Jonathan Demme when she picked him up in her taxi during a snowstorm in 1986. Demme was wowed by her demo tape, which was playing in the cab, and they ended up hanging out at a restaurant for hours talking about life and music. “He liked it so much, I gave him the more..

V.A. - Nihon No Wave (2xLP+7'' Single, Compilation, Repress, Mecanica Rec.)
Japan’s electronic music scene has always stood out as uniquely distinctive. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, a wave of underground projects, bands, and independent labels—primarily based in Tokyo and Osaka—began crafting their own sound. Inspired by the post-punk, new wave, and experimental movements emerging from Europe and North America, these artists embraced a DIY ethic, using whatever technology they had access to in order to forge something entirely their own. This movement, often referred to as the "Nippon-wave" scene, remained more..

Neon - Back In The Land Of Lost Horizons (LP, album, reissue, Dead Wax Rec.)
The Dutch band NEON put out a glorious post-punk / cold wave five-song 12” in 1981, quite known amongst collectors worldwide. A DAY IN THE LAND OF LOST HORIZONS is a must, as simple as that. But when we found out that one song was left out of the 12” back then (reason now forgotten but who cares) and that they recorded six more songs shortly after, which have remained unheard and buried ever since, we were just awestruck. And the songs are so amazingly good. We are so lucky and proud of being able to rescue these recordings now, all from the more..
