Four Flies Records is honored to have been granted access to the original C.A.M. master tapes and is proud to present, for your listening pleasure, the complete recording session for the first time!
Expect to hear one of the funkiest pieces of Ortolani’s entire compositional career: the audio backdrop to car chases, erotic sex scenes, and outlandish violence are accentuated here by amazing drum breaks, fat bass lines, a captivating horn section, and wonderful guitar effects. A totally outstanding session, and an essential new classic for all Eurocrime- funk lovers!Remastered by FABRIZIO DE CAROLIS at REFERENCE MASTERING STUDIO | ROME

First ever official release for this unbelievable giallo score by ROBERTO NICOLOSI, composed for the experimental thriller by Mario Caiano in 1972.
Previously issued on the Fontana label in 1973 with the title “ATMOSFERA”, this is certainly one of most sought-after Italian jazz LPs for any serious collector, featuring a five-star collective of marvelous musicians such as GIOVANNI TOMMASO (bass), FRANCO TONANI (drums), ANGELO BARONCINI (guitar), ANTONELLO VANNUCCHI (organ), FRANCO D’ANDREA (piano), GIANNI BASSO(Tenor Saxophone), DINO PIANA (trombone), CICCI SANTUCCI (trumpet).
The result is a psych and dark jazz-funk sound that perfectly fits the anxious descent into the labyrinth of the human psyche.
This soundtrack is considered one of the best, still underrated, Italian soundtracks ever, as well as one of the most unforgettable Italian jazz sessions of the 70s.Recorded in Rome, 1972

Previously unreleased on every format

℗ 1978 ALESSANDRO ALESSANDRONI
© 2017 FOUR FLIES RECORDS

Four Flies Records is back in full force, this time with an EP that looks at the more sophisticated and modern dancefloor…
The Italian label embarked on another journey of rediscovery, a specialty they seem to master.
The destination of this trip was a dusty vault in Africa, where a famous Italian musician moved years ago…
The Italian film and TV industry provided in the 60s and 70s countless opportunity for talented musicians to compose and produce a rich variety of music: soundtracks, library music, experimental music – an infinite amount of recordings that still represents a paradise for the most curious and passionate diggers.
So here we have the proof that there’s still lot to discover. Alessandro Alessandroni is one of those pioneers, a maestro that built the legend of Italian soundtracks and library music along with Ennio Morricone, Piero Umiliani and many others. His vault testifies how prolific had been those times, with hundreds of tapes and obscure recordings from that period. Among the many, a dusty tape bearing the hand-written label “Afro Discoteca” captured the attention of Four Flies.
The music contained in the tape had never been released until now.
When he listened to the tracks, Italian legendary DJ LEO MAS (one of the undisputed inventors of the Balearic sound) told us: “It is surprising to listen to something that sounds so modern… This EP is the perfect union of Afro influences and Italian taste. There’s something Afro lounge here but also incredibly cinematic – it makes me think of John Carpenter’s atmospheres. B1 (Afrodiscoteca) reminds me of clubs I’ve been in Malindi in the late 70s and the closing track is absolutely spellbinding. This is wonderful.”
PAOLO SCOTTI, head of Déjà vu Records and an authoritative Italian jazz expert said: “Alessandroni’s contribution to music is huge, he’s a great musician and a great experimenter. Afrodiscoteca sounds like it’s been produced yesterday by a DJ of our times, an absolutely surprising EP and proof of Alessandroni’s spontaneous genius!”

GLI ITALIANI E L’INDUSTRIA

B8 – Bolidi Al Collaudo
B9 – Rally Notturno

From the legendary Omicron label secret archives, one of the rarest and nearly impossible to find album signed by PIERO UMILIANI. Awareness of Piero Umiliani’s genius is widespread nowadays, not least on this incredible Gli italiani e l’industria, a soundtrack of a mysterious TV documentary by Romolo Marcellini broadcasted in 1967, and never appeared again from then, which was focused on virtue and vice of Italian post-economic boom industrialization. The music perfectly reflects the contrasts of the Italian society of that period, equally divided by consumerism and alienation, with a number of tracks deliberately easy-jazz and pop-beat on the one hand (with gorgeous ballads for vibraphone, like Natascia or Negozi alla moda, and killer organ tracks, like Music Box, later reused in some movies of the 70s, as Aragosta a colazione), and on the other with a bounce of compositions ultra-jazz, close to free jazz, with electronics and avant-garde solutions that Umiliani will explore completely in the further years (it is not by chance that 3 of those tracks are also included nine years after in a new library Umiliani’s LP named Atmospheres). An essential album of easy-listening and experimental sound, necessary to comprehend the richness of a genius of Italian soundtracks.

B2 – La Storia Comincia
B3 – Rock Al Porto
B4 – La Figlia Di Belli
B5 – Il Libanese

Maybe the most iconic soundtrack by GUIDO & MAURIZIO DE ANGELIS. Definitely the one that is closely linked with Italian crime movie genre “poliziotteschi”, made eternal by dozens movies set in mid 70’s violent big cities.
For the 50th anniversary of Beat Records, a coproduction with Four Flies, the first time ever reissue of this Italian soundtrack’s masterpiece.
A terrific tracklist that gave rise to the Italian groove, then used many times, from Umberto Lenzi’s Napoli Violenta to Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof.A groundbreaking and hard-beat sound, innovative compared to others Italian soundtracks of the period. An acid rock with funk episodes (Gangster Story), cinematic prog (The Life of a Policemen), magical bossa (Casa di moda), with psychedelic flutes (by Guido), sublime guitars and arrangements (by Maurizio).

A 500 limited-edition LP which includes two tracks never before released on vinyl, a reworked painted lettering title designed by LUCA BARCELLONA, and extensive liner notes by Los Angeles’ Rendezvous DJ/film event founder, and Four Flies collaborator, ALFONSO CARILLO:
“A film score that was quite unheard of in horror – a funk and disco-tinged soundtrack, with a sound reminiscent of a blaxploitation film. Director Ovidio Assonitis’ Chi sei? (1974; American title: Beyond the Door) offered horror fans both a familiar storyline and a stylistically unusual score. Recorded in the States, and using American session musicians, Micalizzi created one of horror’s most unique soundtracks. He utilizes soulful lead vocals (sung by Warren Wilson) along with sax and synthesizer, both of which are featured prominently on the score. Along with superb percussion work, this soundtrack features virtuosic musicianship by top session players and easily stands up to the test of time. This was an early foray into the world of soulful funk and an early indication of future-funk to come from the maestro”. Alfonso Carrillo (Rendezvous, LA)

Perhaps not everyone knows that ALESSANDRO ALESSANDRONI, the Master of Italian library music, had also composed several original soundtracks from late ’60s to early ‘80s, especially for many “genre” movies such as poliziotteschi, sexy comedies, spaghetti western, horror and thriller. Among them, SANGUE DI SBIRRO (Bloody Avenger), is certainly one of the most prestigious works made for Italian cinema in the 70s: an Italian noir set in Philadelphia, where the jazz-funk library’s background of the Maestro meets deep soul & black music. An obstinate rhythm which opens to jazz, funk and disco, with moments of pure easy listening (Tema di Susie is one of the best Alessandroni’s film themes). Sounds and arrangements typical of blaxploitation (including an original reinterpretation of Shaft’s theme) but with a proudly Italian’s touch.
As always, many excellent soloists were involved in the recording session, including a young ENRICO PIERANUNZI on Fender Rhodes, DINO PIANA on trombone and SILVANO CHIMENTI on the electric guitar.
A five stars soundtrack for the first time ever on your turntable.

One of the most mysterious movies of the golden age of Italian cinema, “Sortilegio” is a visionary horror movie directed by Nardo Bonomi, starring Erna Schurer and the famous Italian director Marco Ferreri as a co-star. The movie also featured Corrado Farina (director of the legendary “Baba Yaga”) as assistant director.
As the influential Italian magazine NOCTURNO CINEMA stated some time ago, the movie had never been distributed and is to be considered definitively lost.
Thanks to Four Flies Records’ meticulous research, at least the soundtrack of the movie survives: the original master tapes have been finally recovered and restored, thus to be released for the very first time.
Recorded in Rome at the famous RCA Studios, “Sortilegio” is a dark and esoteric soundtrack composed by SILVANO D’AURIA. The soundtrack casts a fine blend of jazz-funk and prog-rock elements, and features some of the greatest session musicians of those times, like SILVANO CHIMENTI (his fuzzy guitars are unmistakable).

First ever issue in its entirety for this indispensable score by Italian cinematic jazz-father PIERO UMILIANI, obtained by having access to the original reels with the complete soundtrack recording. Top class Italian crime jazz composed for a 1959 comedy directed by Nanni Loy (sequel of “I Soliti Ignoti”, realized by Mario Monicelli just the year before, with almost the same artistic cast of “Audace”). CHET BAKER, who was at that time in Italy, joined Umiliani’s octet with his unmistakable trumpet for a red-hot session in October of 1959 in the RCA studios in Rome.
Besides his cool and dreamy solos, this recording includes a colorful and high caliber squad of musicians such as ROBERTO PREGADIO, BERTO PISANO, FRANCO CHIARI, GINO MARINACCI, LIVIO CERVEGLIERI, NINI ROSSO, MARCELLO BOSCHI, to name a few. It is the synthesis of a national jazz scene in full artistic growth. This Four Flies edition finally gives us for the first time the opportunity to listen to the whole gamut of music recorded by the master Umiliani for “Audace colpo dei soliti ignoti”, including rumba, jazz, mambo and noirish atmospheres. A total masterpiece by Piero Umiliani is back!

Totally brilliant and obscure psych era Italian library music. Originally released in 1971 for the microsmall label Vi.Di.Elle, the same label as another psych bomb, “The Black Fire – Cream”. Behind the mysterious “The Green Birds” name is a marvellous trio of unsung composers like FRANCO BONFANTI, ROMANO RIZZATI (Corfull) and RENATO SPERDUTI (Myrval), playing here some really dope jams in the style of the Braen’s Machine’s Underground LP. The whole album is full of psych effects, synth melodies, wah-wah & fuzz guitars, drum breaks & loungey vibes. Track A4 “Ambiente Elegante” by Franco Bonfanti was compiled in the cultish Speedball Experience in 1996.
