Calypso & Alex
Solo Tu [RSD20]
This is an exclusive release for Record Store Day 2020 - Drop 3. Available online from 6:00pm on Saturday 24th October, strictly one per customer. Following his summer hit "Tutto va bene quando facciamo l'amore" (remixed by Yuksek and Jabberwocky among others) and his album Domani è un'altra notte (released last fall on Kwaidan Records - Marc Collin record label known as Nouvelle Vague band master mind with the support of agnes b.,) Alex Rossi is back with a cover of Italian band Matia bazar's 1977 international hit Solo tu from, a memory of a childhood spent riding around in his father's Alfa Romeo. Solo? No, but rather as a duo, with musician/actress Calypso Valois (whose debut album Cannibale was released in 2017, and who was recently featured in the series Vernon Subutex.) This brand-new version, recorded remotely in full confinement, was arranged by faithful accomplice Romain Guerret (Aline, Donald Pierre, Pauline Croze) and mixed by Julien Galner (Corine, Naive New Beaters, Kiddy Smile). The cover was designed by their friend, creator and designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, aka JCDC. The summer of 2020 has already fallen in love with this timeless, infectious banger.

JULEE CRUISE / Eric Kupper
My Blue Yonder / Satisfied [RSD20]
This is an exclusive release for Record Store Day 2020 - Drop 3. Available online from 6:00pm on Saturday 24th October, strictly one per customer. LTD EDITION (500) WHITE VINYL 45. Julee Cruise and Eric Kupper, but as you’ve never heard them before. Having been influenced by the likes of Roni Size, 4 Hero, Jacob’s Optical Stairway, LTJ Bukem and DJ Die (the latter of whom Eric did a collaboration with), Kupper was experimenting with drum and bass in the ‘90s and these tracks, that expertly utilise Julee Cruise’s otherworldly vocals, were subsequently born. Originally intended as demos, Eric thought it would be a great idea to remaster them, keeping their raw edge, and give them a proper release some 20 plus years later. Julee enthusiastically agreed. After the collaboration on the now cult Twin Peaks compositions with David Lynch & Angelo Badalamenti Julee shot into public domain. The mid 90’s, saw Julee Cruise and Eric Kupper sign to the same music publisher, Warner Chappell and Patrick Conseil who had brought them to Warner Chappell thought it would be a good idea to get them collaborating. Born out of this, ‘My Blue Yonder’ is one of the few tracks Kupper has ever written lyrics to and one which is inspired by his then toddler daughter, Zoe. Eric wrote a moody yet childlike song about a utopia, based on his daughter’s likes and dislikes, her joys and her fears. A compelling blend of orchestral arrangements, frenetic beats, and Julee’s unique vocal approach, of which Julee has often commented that it is one of her favourite tracks she has ever recorded. This collaboration also led to ‘Satisfied’, with lyrics and melody written by Julee. An ethereal somewhat existential track, with jazzy chords and pulsating arpeggios, it still has Eric’s vibe, within a different music style. Julee’s beautifully phrased vocals and lyrics bring the track to life, giving it a clear vision

The Violets
Athens Georgia 1988-1992 [RSD20]
This is an exclusive release for Record Store Day 2020. Available over the counter from Saturday 20th June. Any remaining stock will be available online from Sunday 28th June, strictly one per customer. The Violets were a punk/indie band from Athens, GA, mainly active from 1988-1992. The band was best known for their song 'I Hate The Grateful Dead,” which briefly charted on the College CMJ charts in 1991. That original 7" record is a big collectors item these days and the song has remained quite popular, even among Grateful Dead purists, who view the song as a humorous poke at the obsessive fan culture that still surrounds the Dead. Back in the 1990s Grateful Dead -based merchandise shops were even known to carry the record. Their socially aware track “Forsyth” called out the racial inequality and disparity found in Forsyth County GA in the late 1980s, a place known to be hostile to people of color and homosexuals. Both tracks are included in this collection of ten of the Violets’ most memorable songs, several recorded in the early ‘90s by David Barbe (Sugar, Mercyland), all chosen by fans and the band themselves. 500 copies are being released for Record Store Day, hand numbered and pressed on violet vinyl.

Philip Glass
Koyaanisqatsi (Complete Original Soundtrack) [RSD20]
This is an exclusive release for Record Store Day 2020. Available over the counter from Saturday 20th June. Any remaining stock will be available online from Sunday 28th June, strictly one per customer. Orange Mountain Music is proud to announce the special RECORD STORE DAY 2020 release of the complete soundtrack to the classic film KOYAANISQATSI for the first time on vinyl and limited to 1500 numbered units. Directed by Godfrey Reggio with an iconic score by Philip Glass, KOYAANISQATSI premiered in 1982 and quickly became a cult classic. With cinematography by Ron Fricke and containing no plot or words, KOYAANISQATSI was interpreted by some to be an anthem for the environment and by others to be an indictment of modernity. Overall, the film was hailed for its pioneering techniques which have been variously imitated over the past four decades. In convincing Philip Glass to become a primary contributor to the making of the film, Reggio found the perfect analogue to what he was trying to express through the images. The score that Glass composed was groundbreaking and came at a time of new expressivity for the composer. KOYAANISQATSI came at the end of the period when Glass was composing his landmark ''Portrait Trilogy'' of operas based on people who changed the world through the power of their ideas. The title of the film comes from the Hopi language, and is defined as: ''life in turmoil, ''life disintegrating,'' ''crazy life,'' ''life out of balance'' or finally, and definitively, ''a state of life that calls for another way of living.'' The score is presented here in its complete form, starting with pipe organ and the basso profundo of singer Albert de Ruiter singing the title of the film. The music ends almost 75 minutes later with a choir singing ''Prophecies'' which are translated as: * ''If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster.'' * ''Near the day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky.'' * ''A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans.'' This new release represents the first time that the full presentation of the music is heard on vinyl. The LP release of this Glass score was released in the 1980s in a severely truncated form with only 6 tracks and 45 minutes of music. This newly re-mastered recording features 12 tracks and over 76 minutes of music including the original sound-effects and additional music used in the film. This new double album/double gatefold release includes images from the film. In 2019, Harvard Film Archive acquired the Godfrey Reggio film archive and is currently in the process of documenting and digitizing the collection. As part of this release, Orange Mountain Music acquired high resolution stills from the film to use as images on this release. This version of Koyaanisqatsi is the most complete and representative recording of the soundtrack to this seminal film. Performed by the Philip Glass Ensemble along with a full roster of studio musicians conducted by Michael Riesman, the music director of the Philip Glass Ensemble since 1974, and produced by Glass’s longtime music producer Kurt Munkacsi.
