Braen
Braen was a pseudonym used by the Italian composer, guitarist and whistler Alessandro Alessandroni (1925-2017) on Italian library records of the 1970s. Alessandroni, a Roman musician and childhood friend of Ennio Morricone, used the name for guitar work and compositions, notably as co-author of the albums released as The Braen's Machine on Piero Umiliani's Liuto label. The Braen's Machine credits went to Braen and Gisteri (the pseudonym of Oronzo "Rino" De Filippi), and the project produced Underground and Quarta Pagina in 1971 and Temi Ritmici e Dinamici in 1973, all on Liuto.

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…
Drammatico
**sold-out at source, last copies around** Sonor Music Editions is very proud to release an absolute Italian Library HOLY GRAIL and maybe the most desired item of the genre, originally released in early '70s on the hot Panda Records - a totally insane Library album conceived by maestro Alessandro Alessandroni and Giuliano Sorgini under their pseudonyms Braen & Raskovich and surely their highest point of collaboration. Concept album where the music is just out-of-this-world and way ahead of its t…
