Pink Narcissus — Pink Narcissus( Blu Ray)

Released in the early 70s, Pink Narcissus is both an important and daring art film, as well as an impactful piece of homoeroticism. It charts the daydreams/ fantasy of a male prostitute, the seventy-one-minute film utilising an otherworldly colour palette, a hazy, hallucinogenic, though at times rewarding, unfolding, and a general air of lush & sensual unpredictability. Here, rather surprisingly, from the BFI is a Blu-ray release of the film. It features a new 4k scan, a new introduction, a few archive extras, and for this first edition Illustrated booklet- with new & old essays, etc.

One Leg One Eye — And Take the Black Worm With Me

Formed in 2021 by Ian Lynch (Lankum), One Leg One Eye has been the side project that allows him to experiment and explore different musical paths. Rooted in the sound of second-wave black metal, And Take The Black Worm With Me is a massive departure from what Lynch has previously recorded with Lankum. Merging found sounds and field recordings with drones and black metal vocals, And Take the Black Worm With Me is a unique-sounding record. The album features Ian on hurdy gurdy, uillean pipes, synth, vocals shruti box, concertina, guitar, found sounds and tapes, alongside Laurie Sue Shanaman on vocals and Ruth Clinton on church organ

Rhins — The Invisible

Scottish composer and sound artist J. Quimby has created a new project, Rhins, to reassess the musical focus and emotion of his earlier years and bands, and give them new life and direction through analog synthesis, destruction, reconstruction, and other varied means of production. His second release, The Invisible, has seven tracks based in ambient, venturing out into harsher and more experimental areas through layering and destruction. The resulting album is an engaging ebb and flow of emotion and sound, with Rhins able to better communicate with the world through music than with words.

Michael Hersch — Across..In Grief And Detail

Across..In Grief And Detail features three pieces by American composer Michael Hersch. His work here is a tense, searing, and often jarring take on modern classical composition, with brief flurries of grace & grander. Two of the works feature uneasy to intense soprano, but all three highlight a composer who likes to create jarring and unpredictable work.

Creative ‘n’ Inventive sleaze- The world of Roman Porno

Jasper Sharp interview

In the year 1971, Nikkatsu, the oldest/ at one point, the biggest film production company in Japan. Did something quite daring/ some would say crazy- they completely switched over their production to softcore adult films, which would become known as Roman Porno. Between 1971 and 1988, the company produced around 850 of these titles. The thing that made these films stand out from general softcore films is the often creative & inventive choices made- yes, the films primal focus is sleaze, but great examples of the genre are so much more than that. In the last year or so, there has been a spate of reissues of films in the genre from labels such as 88 Films, Third Window Films, and Klubb Super 8. One of the key figures/contributors behind these releases is Jasper Sharp- one of the world's experts on the genre, and the wider Pink genre it’s connected to. Jasper kindly agreed to give us an email interview discussing his history with the genre, his contributions to releases, and the new/updated edition of his book Behind The Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema on Fab Press.
