Make Love on The Wing / Sweet Disco Funky
* Edition of 400 * We are delighted to finally make available as a 7-inch two of the most danceable tracks in the entire Black Emanuelle series of films starring Laura Gemser. Both tracks were written by “dream-duo” Nico Fidenco (composer) and Giacomo Dell’Orso (arranger and conductor) for legendary cult director Joe D’Amato.
‘Make Love on the Wing’, from the original soundtrack of Emanuelle And The Last Cannibals, is a dance-floor banger sung by Ulla Linder, while ‘Sweet Disco Funky’ (from Eman…
Telecinesi
* Previously unreleased. Edition of 400 * Connected to the Occulto LP, this 7-inch single by Sorgini features two alternative versions of ‘Telecinesi’ (Telekinesis), a dark, nocturnal tune with a supernatural, macabre flavour, fuelled by solid drum breaks, percussions and restless synths harmonies. On the flip side you’ve got a drums and synths only version, which sounds even more spectral and abstract than the original mix. Ideal for beatmakers looking for the perfect sample.
Geminus
* Edition of 500 * Four Flies are proud and honoured to release the first vinyl reissue of Bruno Nicolai’s outstanding original score for Geminus, a 1969 Italian TV mini-series directed by Luciano Emmer and starring Walter Chiari, Alida Chelli, and Ira von Fürstenberg.

Occulto
* Never released before * Two years after the stunning Africa Oscura, Four Flies Records is back with another gem from Giuliano Sorgini’s secret archives, this time one which unearths some of his darkest, eeriest music – that is, pieces he composed in the mid-70s for some of the most infamous, low-budget horror movies ever made in Italy.
This collection brings together a selection of original recordings from those movies, which were directed by “Italian Kings of the B’s” Angelo Pannacciò, Salvat…

Transmissions: The Music Of Beverly Glenn-Copeland
When he began releasing music in the early 1970s, Beverly Glenn-Copeland struggled to find an audience for his earnest, emotionally rich folk pop. A career in television as a regular actor on Canadian children's TV show Mr. Dressup gave Glenn-Copeland a paycheck but didn't shine too bright a light on his musical abilities. In 1986, he put together a record using a Yamaha DX7 synth and Roland TR-707 drum machine called "Keyboard Fantasies". At the time it was a short-run cassette-only release, re…
Quinta Dimensione
Superb and obscure Italian soundtrack featuring psychedelic mood music from the obscure RAI television program "... Con Un Colpo Di Bacchetta." centered around the 'Extra Sensory perception' phenomenon, released by an equally obscure group from Genoa, formed by students in 1978 and released this album and a single for the Eleven label (Franco Leprino) the same year. A trully bizzare effort of Avant Garde weirdness, Classical education, acoustic mysticism and deep experimentation, which breaks an…

Asalif tries to make sense of things while living in a shed on the outskirts of Addis Ababa with his mom. A place where capitalism and “progress” is closing in on al…

Satyagraha

Corleone
* Available for the first time on vinyl as a 35th anniversary edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on yellow coloured vinyl * Corleone is a 1978 Italian crime film also known as Father of the Godfather. It stars Claudia Cardinale, Giuliano Gemma, and Tony Kendall and is set in Sicily in the 1950s. The music for the movie was composed by Il Maestro, EnnioMorricone.
