Welcome to Rocket Girl

This new luxuriously and lovingly packaged double CD with DVD is a labour of love in memory of Jason DiEmilio (1970-2006) aka the Azusa Plane. Two CDs feature over two hours of music spanning the breadth of the Azusa Plane catalogue. The DVD features a thirty-minute live set and 65 MP3s split between 11 folders; which include rare tracks, never released Azusa Plane live recordings, an interview with Jason and a previously unreleased recording. An expansive booklet is included with the release which contains essays, thoughts, reflections and memories of DiEmilio's life and musical output.

The in-store due to take place Thursday 11th August has been postponed due to security reasons. We will keep you posted when we can reschedule.
Be safe.

aM™[aem]  is the Japanese duo featuring Kodai (Supercar) and Miyuki.

Think: Atmosphere / Stratosphere/ Noise / Asian Echoes / Ground Groove Rhythm / New Psychedelic / Sparkle Bleep Galaxy / Cool / Beautifully / Spinning Nostalgic Music Magic!  

"Belong to Galaxy" is the amazing new album and I really hope the band will come over to play in the UK soon...

Pieter Nooten's album  "Here is Why" will be released on 6th September.

Pieter Nooten's fragile and restrained music has been well known for many years. Being part of the early line-up of Clan Of Xymox in the 80s, Nooten was responsible for most of their early cult hits. Before leaving COX in 1990, he released an extraordinary album on 4AD, a collaboration with Michael Brook, entitled "Sleep With The Fishes", which was highly acclaimed and reached absolute cult status in 'ambient' circles which reverberates up until this day.

Twenty years later, Nooten signs with Rocket Girl and his obscure imago has cautiously made way to a more communicative one.
