    WRWTFWW drop the first ever vinyl release of the highly-sought after original soundtrack from 1987 cult horror movie “Dolls” by multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, music man extraordinaire Fuzzbee Morse. The limited-edition LP is a miracle of lost-then-found VHS era film scores and is housed in a heavyweight 350gsm sleeve with a bloody cutout sticker and exclusive composer notes.

    Directed by Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond, Robot Jox...) and released by Charles Band’s infamous Empire Pictures (which later morphed into Full Moon Productions), “Dolls” is 80s campy VHS horror in all its glory, a fan-favorite with all the attributes needed for a frightening popcorn night, including one hell of a soundtrack with a very welcomed heavy dose of menacing synths, thunderous orchestrations, and quirky interludes.

    The haunting score comes from master Fuzzbee Morse who composed it in Richard Band’s garage with a Yamaha QX-1 sequencer, an arsenal of vintage synthesizers, and a wide array of instruments. The result is a must-have (and never released before!) soundtrack that blends horror tropes with influences ranging from Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring to Bernard Herrmann, Frank Zappa, Beethoven, Charles Ives and Eleanor Rigby!

    - First ever release for the soundtrack of cult horror movie Dolls (1987), with cut out sticker and composer notes.



    STAFF COMMENTS

    Barry says: It's exactly as creepy as you'd think from looking at the sleeve, yes. What it also is though is a deliciously syrupy suite of syrupy 80's digital synthesis and wobbly FM pads. Lovely, Ciani-esque synth dreams (Isabel & Judy / Judy & Dolls). Ace.

    Albert Karch & Gareth Quinn Redmond

    Warszawa

    WRWTFWW Records is happy to announce a new collaborative album between Polish producer, multi-instrumentalist and sound engineer Albert Karch (notably known for his superb 2019 album Celestially Light featuring Ichiko Aoba) and Irish ambient master and label’s favorite Gareth Quinn Redmond (Ar Ais Arís, Laistigh Den Ghleo, Umcheol albums from the WR catalogue). The 6-track LP comes as a limited edition of 300 copies worldwide with an artwork by Dublin artist Barry Gibbons and liner notes. It is available in digital format as well.

    Recorded in at Albert Karch’s studio in Warsaw in January 2023, Warszawa is conceptually rooted in the reason the two artists met in the first place: the work of Japanese composer Satoshi Ashikawa (Still Way - Wave Notation 2) who sought to compose a time that was stationary. Sparse in approach but sharp with intention, the 6 pieces of the collaborative album were sculpted with precise and floating use of piano, drums, synthesizers, and strings. The result is gentle but emotionally deep minimalistic ambient, reassuring environmental music with an indescribable Mark Hollis touch, also an artist whose worked influenced the recording sessions.

    Gareth Quinn Redmond’s previous albums, Laistigh Den Ghleo, another ode to the work of Satoshi Ashikawa, Umcheol, mixing ambient with traditional Irish music instruments, and his tape loops wonder Ar Ais Arís are still available on WRWTFWW Records - complete the collection now!

    Warszawa by Albert Karch and Gareth Quinn Redmond is dedicated to the memory of Satoshi Ashikawa.

    - For fans of ambient, minimalism, environmental, Satoshi Ashikawa, Mark Hollis, Erik Satie, Midori Takada, piano, synth, quiet Winter nights in a warm place, with a friend, or two.

    - Limited edition (300 only!) vinyl of Albert Karch and Gareth Quinn Redmond’s ambient collaborative effort dedicated to the memory of Satoshi Ashikawa, with an artwork by Barry Gibbons.

    Michel Moulinié

    Chrysalide

      WRWTFWW Records is wonderfully proud to announce the long anticipated official reissue of "Chrysalide" (1978), the sole album from French multi-instrumentalist and enigmatic genius Michel Moulinié. The krautrock / ambient / minimalism paragon is available as a limited edition LP with one never-heard bonus track. It is sourced from the original reels and housed in a heavy 350gsm sleeve.

      Originally released in 1978 on Ange and Jean-Claude Pognant's mythical prog rock label Crypto, "Chrysalide" is a fusion of minimalist meditations, cosmic soundscapes, and ambient; with a human warmth, carried by a profoundly beautiful and unique use of twelve-string guitar, bass and violin.

      Ideal for an introspective listening experience, the hypnotic kosmische musik of Michel Moulinié belongs to the same psychedelic family as Manuel Göttsching’s "Inventions For Electric Guitar", Mike Oldfield’s "Tubular Bells", early Tangerine Dream, and Steve Hillage’s innovative guitar mastery.

      WRWTFWW regulars might also be reminded of the label’s seminal French release, Dominique Guiot's "L'Univers de la Mer", which makes a great spiritual pairing with "Chrysalide".

      Escape into the vast universe inside yourself :

      For fans of prog rock, krautrock, ambient, minimalism, experimental, introspective hypno-acoustic mystical meditative music, "L’Universe de la Mer" by Dominique Guiot, Steve Hillage, Manuel Göttsching, Terry Riley, the cosmos and its soundtrack, the cosmos that exists in one’s self.

      "Home Decor", the sixth full length album from New York born, Los Angeles based ambient / jazz / downtempo musician Danny Scott Lane, drops on WRWTFWW. 500 copies worldwide, housed in a heavy 350gsm sleeve with an artwork from 3D virtual designer Lucas Barbuzzi.

      Danny Scott Lane’s heartwarming 10-track affair is its very own kind of nostalgia-tinted modern chill out music, a silky cocktail of 80s synths and exotica seduction gently carried by Matt Elliot Gooden’s sensuous saxophone. Dare we say ambient smooth jazz? Add hints of italo, minimalism, and fusion, and you there you have it: "Home Decor", a perfect soundtrack for cozy situations, one last drink on the balcony, strolls by the beach, relaxing, thinking back, possibly even gardening and cooking something delicious.

      Highlights such as "Champagne Spill", "Baby’s First Balcony" and "Twin Bed" are not to be missed and should allow for a bit of (well-deserved) breathing in the tumultuous times the world is going through. "Home Decor", indeed a rare gem to soothe the mind, body and soul.

      - For fans of ambient, smooth jazz, minimalism, exotica, saxophone, comfy pleasures, slow cooked meals, and seducing cocktails.

      - Limited edition vinyl of Danny Scott Lane’s sixth full length album featuring saxophone by Matt Elliot Gooden and an artwork by 3D virtual designer Lucas Barbuzzi.

      STAFF COMMENTS

      Matt says: Louche and languid modern jazz with a seriously sensuous vibe throughout. Almost hinting at vapourwave but with much more stable context. Bit of a masterpiece that's bound to escape the mainstream. Gerronit!

      Pieces OST

        Original soundtrack of 1982 cult classic horror movie Pieces available for the first time ever. Includes songs by Italian movie score masters Stelvio Cipriani (La Polizia Sta A Guardare, Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof), Fabio Frizzi (Lucio Fulci movies), and Carla Maria Cordo (Absurd aka Anthropophagus 2).

        For fans of soundtracks of horror, Giallo, Spaghetti Western, and Blaxploitation movies.

        This limited edition vinyl includes numerous songs by Italian composer Stelvio Cipriani, the man behind the superb soundtrack of Poliziottesco movie La Polizia Sta A Guardare (1973) whose main theme was reborn in 2007 on Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, multiple scores for Spaghetti Western movies starring Tony Anthony, as well as a Nastro d’Argento award for best score for The Anonymous Venetian (1970).

        Also found on "Pieces" are compositions by Carla Maria Cordo who scored Joe D’Amato’s gorefest Absurd (1981) that some might know as Anthropophagus 2, Monster Hunter, Horrible or The Grim Reaper 2 - a movie so shockingly violent it became one of the Video Nasties of the UK and was successfully prosecuted under the Obscene Publications Acts in 1984.

        Lucio Fulci’s frequent collaborator Fabio Frizzi (responsible for the music of classic horror movies Zombie aka Zombi 2, L’Aldilà aka The Beyond, City of the Living Dead aka The Gates of Hell and the list goes on) also makes a special appearance with the sexy "Cocktail Molotov".

        MKWAJU Ensemble (Midori Takada)

        MKWAJU

          WRWTFWW Records is proud to announce the highly anticipated official reissue of holy grail album MKWAJU by acclaimed Japanese percussionist Midori Takada's MKWAJU ensemble, sourced from the original masters and available in two versions: a vinyl LP cut at Emil Berliner Studios (formerly the  in-house recording department of Deutsche Grammophon) and a digipack CD.

          Originally recorded in February and March 1981 and released by fabled Japanese avant-garde label Better Days (home of Ryuichi Sakamato's debut album, Yasuaki Shimizu's Kakashi, Colored  Music self-titled LP and many more) MKWAJU is the fruit of the collaboration between Takada's crew and world-famous composer/musical director Joe Hisaishi, the man behind most of of Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli anime soundtracks and over 100 other films scores, including Takeshi Kitano's Sonatine, Hana-Bi, and Kikujiro. The ensemble's transcendental wonder is, in fact, the first-ever Midori Takada album and the first-ever Joe Hisaishi-produced album. Historic.

          Led by Midori Takada on marimba, gong, vibraphone, and tom tom, MKWAJU is an inventive and riveting take on Eastern and Western minimalist traditions, African rhythms, and early electronica. Drawing from its jazz-rooted polyrhythmic improvisations in the most inventive ways, the album covers a wide spectrum of sounds, from colorful dance floor-ready percussion pieces that stand somewhere between proto-techno and experimental synth-pop, to cinematic ambient landscapes and ethereal drone delicacies. The feverishly sought-after full-length is a stepping-stone in Midori Takada's career and an all-around pioneering album.

          Alongside Takada and Hisaishi (who not only produced the album but also played synthesizers), personnel on MKWAJU includes famed Japanese musicians Yoji Sadanari and Hideki Matsutake of KI-Motion fame, Junko Arase (heard on Satoshi Ashikawa's legendary Still Way - Wave Notation 2), and Pecker (whose stacked resume boasts collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto and Jun Fukamachi).
