La Novizia
Oops, Four Flies did it again! Like other rare Italian gems, Berto Pisano's La Novizia was long thought lost before the FF team rescued, restored and remastered it from the original tapes. And wow, it's just one of the best things, if not the best thing, about the 1975 film it was written for – an erotic comedy with melodramatic overtones directed by Pisano's long-time collaborator Giuliano Biagetti (they previously worked together on Interrabang and La Svergognata) and starring a young and mesm…
Paloma Supersound
Four Flies sheds light on the catalogue of the enigmatic Paloma Records, a DIY record label founded in 1983 by Bolognese composer, arranger, conductor, and singer Paolo Zavallone, who, after a long career in pop music and at RAI television, decided to venture into the world of library music publishing.
Paesaggi
Finally putting an end to a long wait for library music lovers, Four Flies Records is proud to present the first reissue of Piero Umiliani's Paesaggi – a record that, despite remaining for many years pretty obscure compared to other titles in the maestro's discography, is now regarded by collectors and experts as the gold standard in Italian library music. Originally released in two versions with different sleeves, the first on Liuto Records in 1971 and the second on Ciak Record in 1980, the al…
Orgasmo - Paranoia
** Deluxe edition. Lavish 650-gram single tip-on jacket adorned with new artwork ** Four Flies is thrilled to announce a reissue of Piero Umiliani’s soundtrack to the 1969 giallo thriller “Orgasmo” (called “Paranoia” in English speaking countries), the first of three erotically charged films directed by Umberto Lenzi and starring cult siren (and Oscar nominee) Carroll Baker. Back in 2020, we unveiled the first-ever release of this iconic soundtrack, whose master tapes were thought lost for decad…
Archive #828285 Live
The Intone label was originally founded back in 1992 as a vehicle for Richard H Kirk's Sandoz project, initially a series of three 12" singles. Richard H Kirk is perhaps better known as co-founder and now sole member of the hugely influential Cabaret Voltaire. The Intone label is now relaunched with a 3 CD Box Set of Cabaret Voltaire live recordings from 1982 and 1985. Live in Liverpool (1982), Live in Sheffield (1982) and Live in Toronto (1985). Now distributed by Cargo, further releases are pl…
Issue 86 (Magazine)
Audion 86 arrives as a concentrated blast of deep listening culture, a 44-page A4 issue that treats the margins of rock, jazz and experimental sound as its natural centre. First published on 6 February 2025 in simultaneous printed and pdf editions, the magazine continues Audion’s long-running refusal to follow fashion, pursuing instead what its editors call “explorations in sound and music” - the points where history gets strange, regional scenes bloom in isolation, and aesthetics mutate far fro…

Issue 70 (Magazine)
Audion 70 catches Audion Magazine in full investigative mode, tracing unlikely connections between avant-garde improvisers, 1970s label culture and the latest mutations of progressive rock. At its core is a substantial feature on AMM / AMMMusic, treating the ensemble not as a distant academic reference but as a living fault-line in post‑war sound. The article unpacks how AMM’s radical non-idiomatic improvisation, tape abuse and volume-as-material approach rewired the language of collective playi…

Xerrox
Xerrox Vol. 1 is the third studio album by German electronic artist Alva Noto. It was released in 2007 as part of the ongoing Xerrox pentalogy, based on the concept of digital replication of source material.
Using the process of copying as a basis, the Xerrox series deals with the manipulation of data through endless reproduction. Due to the inherent fallacy of making copies from other copies, everyday sounds become so altered that they are hardly associated with their source material. As a resu…
Batteaux
On their self‑titled 1973 LP, Batteaux turn baroque folk into ocean‑lit folk‑funk: lush West Coast arrangements, sky‑high harmonies and proto‑yacht grooves that feel as Balearic as they do Laurel Canyon, somehow both overlooked and timeless.
V.I.R.U.S.
Tip! Noton releases the Limited Edition CD Box Set of Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto’s V.I.R.U.S. Pioneers in their own musical approaches, Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto, began their exploration of sound in the evocatively titled V.I.R.U.S. series in 2002. After more than a decade from the release of the collection’s final installment with Summvs in 2011, Noton reissued all the five albums between May and November 2022.
With its impressionistic atmosphere, in this collaborative project two genera…
The First Concert: An Adaptive Appraisal of a Meta Music (Book)
* 2021 stock * Percussionist Eddie Prévost co-founded in the 1960s the seminal improvising music ensemble AMM. In this book he presents a very personal philosophy of music informed by his long working practice and inspired by the London weekly improvisation workshop he first convened in 1999. Perhaps controversially, this view is mediated through the developing critical discourse of adaptionism; a perspective grounded in Darwinian conceptions of human nature. Music herein is examined for its cog…
Paradise of Replica
Reissue, originally released in 1989. After Dinner's Paradise of Replica is a concise nugget of tomfoolery that occupies a whimsical no man's land between art pop, Japanese folk music, and full-assed Art Zoydian avant proggery. Gentle, arcane and covertly sweeping, it typifies that friendly strain of experimentalism that Eastern music seems so predisposed towards and which curious minds find such great delight in. Assembled by the enigmatic chanteuse and composer known simply as Haco, After Dinn…
Kagome Kagome
Two decades of French experimentalism meets Japanese spiritual practice in this haunting collaboration. Recorded around a 104-year-old harmonium, Dora and Suzuki channel otherworldly beauty through voice and electronics - music of prayer, magic, and genuine mystery.
Venenum
**2025 Stock** This is our fourth chapter in the reissue series dedicated to Maeror Tri — and by now, this legendary ambient/industrial trio needs no further introduction. This time, in our Digibook Reissue Series, we are proud to present “Venenum” — a serene, analog drone album recorded between 1989 and 1991. Originally released on cassette in 1992 and later reissued on CD (limited to 200 copies) by the short-lived but wonderful French label ÜNE (r)ecords in 1999, Venenum now returns in a newly…
Astral Disaster
At the turn of the millennium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors! Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original „Musick to play in the Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents.
Like „Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping…
