Nuits de Printemps
First issue of this previously unreleased Oriental psych monster from the organ king of Casablanca, combining traditional rhythms with spaced out modern sounds. Nuits De Printemps is the third part of Abdou El Omari's Nuits-trilogy. This album contains dazzling instrumentals, spiced up here-and-there with some traditional vocals. While playing his fine melodies, Abdou switches swiftly from his Farfisa Professional mothership to an analog ARP synthesizer. This new sound and some funky wah guitar …
Superman
1983, in the history of synths, is a key year. During the January edition of Namn(the most important music fair in the US), indeed, Miid – the standard protocol for electronic instruments interaction – was introduced to the world. Until then, programming and making synths work together was something practiced by a restricted elite of “wizards”, explorers armed with cables and analog patches, who could create new sonic worlds –…
Il Pistolero Dell'Ave Maria
LP Gatefold 180 Gram + Poster. 500 hand numbered copies. Presented on vinyl for the first time, here's the awesome score of one of the most ambitious spaghetti westerns ever, 'The Forgotten Pistolero' a.k.a. 'Il Pistolero Dell'Ave Maria' from 1969 by the duo comprised of Roberto Pregadio and Franco Micalizzi. With a title like this, you can probably already feel the music – a dark toned take on the spaghetti western sound of the time – served up with the kind of brooding, haunting them…
Il Dono del Nilo
**First 300 on Orange/Brown Split Vinyl **Piero Umiliani writes music for the Rai TV documentary produced by Gigi Martello and Lionello Torossi for Fremantle Italiana in 1964 titled "Il Dono del Nilo", directed by Corrado Sofia, with whom the Florentine musician will collaborate several times for television tuning. Originally printed by CAM on LP and 7" "The Gift of the Nile / Arab Market", both very rare and sought after, contain exotic flavors and world-easy listening. These sessions were reco…
Afro Beat / Afro Flower
Four Flies Records continues its 7” line-up with another de rigueur repechage that will have your dancefloor jump frantically up and down. Two freaky afro-flavoured tracks, written by Giuliano Sorgini and his partner in musical delices Alessandro Alessandroni. Recorded during a non-specified session which may be traced back to the recording of Sorgini’s UNDER POMPELMO and PAWNSHOP's first 7”. The sound and the ideas behind the music are exactly the same, even though there’s more rhythmic and per…
L'Allenatore nel Pallone
After the complete release on CD, we are delighted to present for the first time on 7’’ these two unmissable numbers by the De Angelis bros, in collaboration with our friends at Beat Records. Side A features an unreleased extended edit of the samba-pop Mundialito known as the main theme ofL'Allenatore nel Pallone (an 80s soccer cult comedy directed by Maestro Sergio Martino, starring Lino Banfi), even if it was previously used in other movies in which the De Angelis were involved. Flip over and …
Properly/Acromatic
**Edition of 350 copies** The wildest track off the legendary “Bass Modulations” LP from Octopus Records, Properly, by bass player and composer Piero Montanari, is an afro-rock banger with amazing percussion, drum breaks, and fuzz guitars. On the other side we present Acromatic, by drummer Roberto Conrado – a funky mid-tempo number driven by guitar riffs and a wonderful prog flute solo. Two terrific beats targeted for your psychedelic dancefloor. This is also the fourth of a new Four Flies 45s …
Rullio /Violenza
Edition of 350. The ultimate Italian library breakbeat: wicked synths, and cosmic electronic effects, marks the experimental hip hop beats of Rullio by Ugo Busoni, sourced from the “Valvole" LP on the Nuova Idea label. On the flip side, one will find another rhythmic banger, Violenza by Gerardo Iacoucci, taken from “L’Avventura N. 2" – a psychedelic b-boy break with heavy bassline and percussive piano, echoing an urban soundscape full of drama and suspense.This is the third of a new Four Flies …
Moss Trumpet
Edition of 250. Having released four full-length albums framed around more song-oriented spheres, Melbourne artist Francis Plagne has concurrently moved around collaborative endeavors with Andrew Chalk, Joe Talia, and Crys Cole. He was also a part of that Food Court record released on Graham Lambkin's Kye label in 2014. Which brings us to Moss Trumpet, Plagne's first solo album which exclusively orbits a more abstract domain. Taking inspiration from Costin Miereanu's Luna Cinese (1975), this gen…
Dots
First time vinyl (2LP) pressing of Atom Heart’s 1994 ambient album as Dots, originally released by his mighty Rather Interesting label and now newly prepped by Uwe Schmidt himself and cut by Noel Summerville for Astral Industries. Modestly self-described by Schmidt aka Dots as “elevator music”, the project’s only release is defined by its spacious parameters and paucity of palette, using icy arps and plangent bleeps to connote a wide, free-floating sense of vastness and airy detachment. If it is…
Bersaglio altezza uomo
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.
Femina Ridens
The two most danceable tracks taken from Stelvio 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 Edd…
Esterno Giorno D'Estate
Another rare and unreleased gems mined from the RCA SP Series, here we have the sunny side of Esterno, between warm rhythms, percussions, bossanova, wah wah guitars, psychedelic flutes and explosive synth sounds - including Carlo Pes & i Marc 4, Alberto Baldan Bembo, Stelvio Cipriani, Alessandro Alessandroni, Nico Fidenco and Gianni Oddi. Musiche leggere e gaie [Light and joyful music] - to use the title of a collection from the RCA SP series in which some of these tracks could have ended. …
Kiefermusik
This is really something, don't miss the wholly unique world of the 1990s hidden classic. Frank Dommert’s debut album was one of the first significant volleys from Cologne in the new decade. His history stretched back through the second half of the 80a, as he’d already released a number of cassettes via his label Entenpfuhl, and had collaborated with Hirsche Nicht Aus Sofa (H.N.A.S.), the Aachen-based surrealist-noise-junk outfit led by Christoph Heemann and Achim P Li Khan. Their connection wit…
Nuda
The infamous Italian sexy-comedy genre now has its own saucy compilation. 21 cuts, including 13 tracks never published before on any format, taken from the finest original soundtracks of the genre. From groovy disco bangers and charming jazz-funk, sleazy-listening and rock blends, to analogue electronic experiments, pure “aerobic groove" that spells out the melodic action of female starlets like Gloria Guida, Edwige Fenech, Nadia Cassini, Lilli Carati, and all the other heroines in this genre of…
Sprechpause
**In stock this week** “In der Pause” (During the Pause) was the title of the last track on the b-side of “ “, the first album by Die Tödliche Doris. “In der Pause” was pause music, as well as the announcement of the interval between their debut album, released in 1982, and the box format project ”Chöre und Soli” that followed in 1983. The original sounds of “In der Pause” survived on a single audio tape dating from 1981. Now, about 35 years later, Chris Dreier and Wolfgang Müller have used the …
Chi Sei?
In stock now! Considered one of the finest and most successful works composed by Franco Micalizzi. 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 Carrillo: "A film score that was quite unheard of in horror – a funk and disco-tinged soundtrack, with a sound reminiscent of a blaxploitati…
Le Montagne della Luce
Romolo Grano (composer) and Gianni Oddi (arranger and conductor) join forces for a trippy and funky journey exploring both the heart of Africa, and its deepest mysteries. Originally composed for an Italian TV Documentary in 1975 and released on a very rare and sought after 7-inch on the Ricordi Label (SRL 10781), this score finally shines again in a new guise thanks to a collaboration between Four Flies Records and the renowned music publisher Flipper Music.Besides the two tracks pressed on the …
Circle Of Light - Original Electronic Soundtrack
Gold vinyl repress! Reduced price! Trunk Records present a highly important and unreleased soundtrack for Circle Of Life, created in 1972 by musician Delia Derbyshire and artist Elsa Stansfield. The soundtrack is a mix of concrete ideas, sound design, tape manipulation, natural environmental sounds and birdsong. The recording was originally commissioned by director, producer and art collector Anthony Roland for his 1972 film about the slides of radical stills photographer Pamela Bone. The fi…
Milano Trema - La Polizia Vuole Giustizia
Right after "High Crime "(La Polizia Incrimina, la Legge Assolve), the magic duo of Guido and Maurizio De Angelis conceive yet another highlight of the genre - the groovy, melancholic score of The Violent Professionals (Italian: Milano trema: la polizia vuole giustizia), which perfectly sets the tone of metropolitan violence presented on the screen. A dramatic sound, which preludes the acid- prog and gloomy music created for Il Grande Racket just three years later, with lots of flutes, clav…
