The Pusher Trilogy - The Pusher Trilogy( UHD/ Blu Ray)

From Second Sight Films, here is either a Blu-ray/ UHD box set bringing together the three films from Nicolas Winding Refn’s Pusher series. Each is an athletic/ often edgy example of the crime genre- utilising authentic settings,  real drugs, and actual criminals in their making.  Each film is given a new 4k restoration, with new commentary tracks/ other extras for each film.


A Game In The Woods - A Game In The Woods( DVD)

From last year, A Game In The Woods is a backwoods thriller/ horror, with twists of often awkward humour. Think a low-budget/crude( oil) blend of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Most Dangerous Game, and Hostel- it'll give you an idea of what we have here. From Jinga Films, here’s a bare-bones DVD release of the picture.


Atlantis - The Complete Vertigo Studio Recordings 1972-1975

In 1972, Hamburg-based progressive rock band Frumpy split after two years and three albums together. The group splintered with singer Inga Rumpf, keyboard player Jean- Jacques Kravetz and bassist Karl-Heinz Schott forming Atlantis, alongside guitarist Frank Diez and drummer Curt Cress. The band released their debut self-titled album on Vertigo Records in 1972, which was followed by 1973's It’s Getting Better, 1974's Ooh, Baby and their last album, 1975's Get on Board


Death Carries A Cane - Death Carries A Cane ( Blu Ray/ UHD)

Death Carries A Cane is a zippy-paced and entertaining early 70s giallo/ proto slasher, regarding a female photographer who sees a murder from a distance.  The film features well-set-up/tension-building murders,  a fair bit of female flesh, corny dialogue, and camp aplenty.  Here from Powerhouse is a recent release of the film, coming as either a UHD or Blu-ray release. It takes in a new bright ‘n’ buoyant 4k scan, two versions of the film, a commentary track from genre experts, and a good selection of new featurettes/ interviews.


Sallow Moth - Mossbane Lantern

Solo project of death metal bedouin Garry Brents, Sallow Moth has consistently grown and challenged the status quo with its avant-garde tech death laced with sci-fi lore, themes, and sounds. Nearly ten years into the game, its third full-length, Mossbane Lantern, hit this year through I, Voidhanger, and this release is getting Sallow Moth out to more potential fans than ever. With the advent of cheaper home recording gear and rigs, one-man death metal projects have been on the rise, but for the most part, they usually sound like one man making it work. Sallow Moth, though, is different and feels like a wonderfully cacophonous orchestra is playing all their parts instead of just one metal thrashing madman


Hardboiled: Three Pulp Thrillers by Alai - Hardboiled( Blu Ray boxset)

Hardboiled is a Blu-ray set bringing together three 1970s crime/ action films, helmed by Orléans, Loiret-born Alain Corneau. Each blends classic noir tropes, gritty ’70s edge, and French sensibilities- with often creative/distinctive twists on the crime film form. Each film in the set receives an HD scan, as well as a selection of new/ archive extras. With the set finished off, an eighty-page booklet- taking in four new pieces of writing, and archive interviews.


Sutcliffe No More - Diving Board

Diving Board is the sixth album from this British two-piece. It's a nine-track affair that finds them focusing on the more dementedly theatrical/ intensely spoken-word side of their post-PE/ extreme & experimental electronica sound.


Flowers We Are - Flowers We Are

Here’s a self-titled debut that serves up two slices of improv, which slip 'n' slide between electro-minimalism & acoustic fumbles ‘n’ darts with the occasional melodic flourisher and orchestrated shift. It’s a decidedly unpredictable, often taut and seared ride, which travels through various sonic states.
