Nicola Ratti, Alessandra Novaga, and Enrico Malatesta - three names you need to know if you're serious about contemporary improvised music.
The sound? Imagine if AMM had been born in Southern Europe with lapt…

**2026 Repress, includes facsimile artwork and extensive liner notes. Remastered from the original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl. **Munster Records presents a reissue of Batiscafo by Gregorio Paniagua. Immersed in an age of re-releases and the pursuit of rarities, hidden gems and marvels, record labels are constantly rediscovering musical jewels, which previously only collectors have had the chance to own.

Experience the legendary sound of Kraftwerk in one of their most iconic live performances. Recorded on March 22, 1975, at the Satory Saal in Koeln, this concert captures the band at the height of their creative power. Featuring two tracks from the previous year's groundbreaking album Autobahn, including an epic sidelong rendition of the title track, this set is widely regarded as one of the finest live recordings in Kraftwerk’s storied career.
The performance is rounded out with the classic “Ruc…
Everfriend was the project of New Jersey-based keyboardist Bill Rhodes (real surname Rupprecht), operating with drummer Mike Jacoby and bassist Paul Kozub, all previously connected through a band called the All Night Flyers. Rhodes self-released Everfriend's recordings between 1980 and 1983 on his own Jazzical Records label in very limited vinyl editions: Tropicsphere (1980), Sphere of Influence (1981), and Shoot to Kill (1983), the latter first released as a tape. The project sits in an unusual…
Lucky restock. A Journey Into The 70's Italian Police! Screeching tyres on rain-slicked Roman cobblestones. A Fiat 131 careening through Trastevere at midnight. The dull thud of a silenced Beretta. And underneath it all, the relentless pulse of wah-wah guitar, pounding drums, and funky flute lines that refuse to let go.
Piombo Rovente captures the sonic DNA of Italy's most visceral cinematic era: the poliziottesco. These were films born from the "Years of Lead"—a nation caught between political …
Some mighty fine unreleased Basil Kirchin's film music here, including the freaky deaky Mutations score, plus a killer Eastern-tinged TV soundtrack from a TV show you may never have heard of, called Journey To The Unknown, which was a spooky precursor to Tales Of The Unexpected. Kirchin's distinctive talent resides in the smooth juxtapositions and mutations of recorded surroundings, free jazz skronk, surprising vocal samples, and delicate electronic harmonies that he employs in his music.

The Italian Library Songbook series, where contemporary producers and songwriters breathe new life into hidden tracks and outtakes from Italian soundtrack maestros, is back with its second installment. This time, beat-maker and bass player Moonbrew, along with composer and keyboardist Paolo Apollo Negri, reimagine the iconic Piero Umiliani, whose influence resonates deeply with anyone who grew up with a passion for b-movies, library music, and soundtracks.
“L'arcangelo” (The Archangel) is a 1969 comedy characterised by police and judiciary tones, directed by GIorgio Capitani and starring, among others, Vittorio Gassman, Pamela Tiffin, Adolfo Celi, Irina Demick and Carlo Delle Piane.
This soundtrack follows the previous “La notte è fatta per... rubare” (Night is Made for Stealing) which marked the beginning of Umiliani’s collaboration with the director. Mainly displaying a Latin American flavour, it contains several elements typical of the composer…
Mega rare soundtrack to the obscure Venezuelan sexploitation film “Sobre la Hierba… Virgen” originally released in 1976 and almost impossible to find in any condition. The album includes a wide variety of music to enjoy, from thrilling psychedelic jazz-funk to spacey experimental tracks, killer drum-breaks or romantic instrumental tunes. One of the best recordings of composer and keyboard player Pablo Schneider at the peak of his career.
Guy Pedersen, French jazz-soul-funk double-bass player extraordinaire, recorded Contrebasses in 1970 for Tele Music. It's one of the most outstanding -- yet puzzlingly slept-on -- releases in the library's catalogue. Forget library, this is basically a sublime, straight-up moody jazz record with monster breaks. It's brimming with sensational psychedelic/jazzy bass-heavy moments throughout. "Indian Pop Bass" contains a deep, abstract breakbeat that intersects with a bassline that loops as if it s…
Another Piero Umiliani classic gets its first-ever release on 7" vinyl! Shortly after 'Sweden: Heaven and Hell', in 1969 'Angeli Bianchi, Angeli Neri' continued the collaboration between Umiliani and director Luigi Scattini, this time in the direction of magic and esotericism, as the English title of the film, "Witchcraft '70", makes abundantly clear. The two tracks included in this release reflect that direction, which informs more or less the entire score written by the Florentine composer. On…
Four Flies is proud to present the very first 7" version of music from "Il Corpo", Piero Umiliani's acclaimed soundtrack to the 1974 film that ends the exotic/erotic trilogy directed by Luigi Scattini and starring Zeudy Araya, where the Florentine composer reached one of the peaks of his creative powers. "Chaser", featured on side A in an exclusive extended version (previously unreleased in any form), is a track with a dreamy groove that blends rock, funk, jazz, exotic and psychedelic elements i…
In the early ‘70s, after relocating from his native Genoa to Rome, young saxophonist Gianni Oddi was beginning to establish himself as a super-cool arranger thanks to a series of cover albums recorded for RCA Italy. They contained funk, soul and easy-listening versions of contemporary pop hits, but Oddi often managed to include one or two original compositions of his own – like the ones contained in this new instalment of Four Flies’ 12-inch vinyl series for DJs. Both tracks are perfect examples…
“La Ragazza dal Pigiama Giallo” (The Pyjama Girl Case) is a 1977 crime film directed by Flavio Mogherini, peculiarly set in Australia and featuring an exceptional international cast starring actors Ray Milland and Mel Ferrer. The soundtrack composed by Riz Ortolani ("Cannibal Holocaust", "Zeder"), is mainly characterized by a funk-rock pace, with melancholy and romantic moments ("Un uomo nella strada") alternating with others that are more intense and thrilling ("La fuga"); the electronic sounds…
