BERSAGLIO ALTEZZA UOMO

Limited Edition 7″ – 400 copies

OUT ON 20 SEPTEMBER 2019

Side A: BERSAGLIO ALTEZZA UOMO – TITOLI
Side B: BERSAGLIO ALTEZZA UOMO – CACCIA MORTALE

An amazing disco-prog tune with funky basslines, sustained by obsessive clavinet and lead by a dope space moog. A killer track still underrated and unknown today, where members of Goblin play uncredited. The whole story about the relationship between maestro Stelvio Cipriani and Goblin’s Claudio Simonetti, Fabio Pignatelli, Massimo Morante, and Agostino Marangolo is still to be written.

Side B: DORIAN GRAY (SHAKE 3)

Two heavy psychedelic groover tracks, full of crazy percussion, fuzz guitar, and hammond organ all played by MARC 4 and composed by their organist Antonello Vannucchi, and both echoing the immortal In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida riff by Iron Butterfly. RITO A LOS ANGELES was used by Steven Soderbergh in his 2004 film, “Ocean’s Twelve”. An amazing and haunting groove that is ideal for DJs & producers.

Recorded by composer and multi-instrumentalist Giuliano Sorgini between 1974 and 1976 in his studio in Prati district in Rome, a stone’s throw from Italian television offices, Africa Oscura is a set of tracks inspired by the wildest and most obscure secrets of those lands, intended to be the background of some tv documentaries.
Some tracks were recorded during the same session of Zoo Folle, the album widely recognised as his masterpiece, celebrated today by the most influential connoisseurs from all over the world. Some others came right after, for a mysterious documentary whose title was supposed to be “I corsari della savana” (as stated by the credits written on the reels that we have found).
All these tracks remained unbelievably unreleased until now, forgotten on some old and dusty ¼-inch reels, amazingly survived up today, then transferred and restored to compile this much-needed release. A sort of concept-album about darkest Africa, with a kind of eerie mood, nearly esoteric, to which Sorgini was very close in these years, working on horror and b-movies soundtracks or experimental libraries.
All tracks are entirely played by composer himself, with drums, percussions and all sorts of analog synths overlaps, to create an afro-ambient soundscape, something halfway between electronic and minimalism, with a vibrant prog flavour. Among John Carpenter’s reminds, occultism, large prairies and Saharan landscapes, this amazing score truly reveals the creepy dark-side of Zoo Folle.

FEMINA RIDENS SONG / SOPHISTICATED SHAKE

Limited Edition 7″ – 400 copies

OUT ON 31 MAY 2019

SIDE A: Femina Ridens Song (sung by Olympia)
SIDE B: Sophisticated Shake (vocals by Edda Dell’Orso)

The two most danceable tracks taken from Cipriani’s cult OST, now finally for the first time on a 7-inch record. “Femina Ridens” features an exhilarating and ‘arioso’ orchestration which accompanies the beguiling voice of Olympia (one of the female vocalists of I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni), whose awkward British diction turns a feminist lyric into a powerful and irresistibly sensuous song. On the flip side, “Sophisticated Shake” is a sumptuous jewel of psychedelic jazz in which Edda Dell’Orso’s vocal is perfectly nested. A must have for collectors and DJs!
