"The toughest session by the great I MARC 4 Italian Jazz Library combo. Killer album and easily on the top 3 from the Nelson series with no weak tracks at all. The music goes from insane Psychedelic tunes to Jazz, Funk and more Bossa and Lounge tracks with plenty of Fuzz guitars, amazing Hammond job, and totally catching drum Breaks.
An insane trip into early gold Italian Psychedelic and Underground vibes with loads of laden beats and grooves with the mark of the legendary Italian quartet. The whole record is simply amazing with killer Psychedelic B-boy Fuzz Funk / heavy stoned Hip-Hop beats / mental Fuzz Prog. Funk / groovy Funky Jazz tunes / hard-hitting drums / supreme breezy Bossa / groovy soulful midtempo Funk with dope Hammond Samba beats. Another essential jewel released on our label!"

"LA MUSICA DI PUCCIO ROELENS"
1969
"This incredible record has almost everything, and explains why it's so highly regarded and sought-after. Legendary album among Italian Library junkies and euro groove hunters by the great maestro and orchestra conductor Puccio Roelens, responsible of some of the Funkiest productions made in Italy. Music swings from Jazz to Funk and Psichedelia, with loads of terrific beats, laden grooves and top breakbeats simply to die for. Breathtaking classy Psychedelic Jazz arrangements, Lounge Funk tunes and also Bossa themes played by some of the finest Italian session men of the period all spiced with terrific drums groove. One of the most desired items of the genre is finally available for the Record Store Day 2017.
HOLY GRAIL ALERT!"
I MARC 4 - GLP 1001 - 1970.
"The first volume from the Nelson Records series by the infamous Italian Jazz quartet composed of Maurizio Majorana on the bass (M), Antonello Vannucchi at the organ (A), Roberto Podio at the drums (R), and Carlo Pes (C) on the bass. Seminal, deeply Underground session by the legendary Italian Library studio combo with tones of sleazy sounds starting from the Psychedelic guitar riffs, the crazy tough Funk and the groovy sharped beats to the lovely Jazz arranged theme music influenced by Samba, Bossa Nova and Easy Listening vibes of the time. I Marc 4 provided some of the best cinematic and theme music of the time, and this is one of their deepest productions. Top Italian Library LP production and unmissable piece for collectors of the genre!"
Let the cinematic moods of composers Giuseppe De Luca, Carlos Pes & I MARC 4 take you for a ride on 3 reissues by Italian label SONAR. With soundtracks rich in mood and imagination ranging from dark and ominous, jazz and mellow to groovy Funk, each album offers a look into the moving sound which many European composers during the 1970s remain admired for. Enjoy the streams and hear what the label has to say about each project below:
Peppino De Luca / I MARC 4
Originally released on 'cult' Pegaso promotional label, "THE MAN WITH ICY EYES" soundtrack was pressed on very few copies like all Pegaso editions 'out of commerce', becoming a truly sought-after gem among Record Collectors of the genre. Trombonist and arranger Giuseppe De Luca, who died shortly after, wrote this magnificent score in 1971, ripping off the main theme from "Lady In Cement" by Hugo Montenegro from the same year. The high music in here is played by the MARC 4 (Maurizio Majorana on bass, Carlo Pes on guitar, Antonello Vannucchi organ) feat. Giuseppe De Luca at trumpet and Vincenzo Restuccia at drums. Magnificent vocals by the best scatting queen Edda Dell'Orso and chorus by I Cantori Moderni Di Alessandroni. KILLER!
Carlo Pes - UN UOMO DALLA PELLE DURA
Crazy RARE in demand soundtrack LP originally released on the highly sought-after promotional label "PEGASO" Edizioni Musicali. Music by Maestro Carlo Pes here, the "C" guitarist from the infamous quartet I MARC 4 which also probably plays on this session. The amazing Jazz-Funk track "Tough Guy" is the main theme of the record and it's delivered in 3 different versions. Crazy tunes like the tensed dramatic "Morte di un Hippie", the great Lounge track "Relaxing in New Mexico" with nice Hammond improvisations, guitar and flute, and "Murder On The Set", fantastic cinematic Score; Bossa-Jazz on "Joinin' the Swimming Pool" with some nice piano among the others. Top record, not to be missed!
I MARC 4 - G.L.P. 1004
We're glad to announce the reissue of this gem by the Library 'cult' group I MARC 4. ORIGINALLY RELEASED Oct 1970 on NELSON RECORDS label, cat#. GLP 1004, Italy. Ed. "Scogliera". Probably the toughest and most Psychedelic Nelson volume by the Marc 4. Killer blend of Downtempo Funk, atmospherics, and Lounge Bossa/Cocktail. Contains fantastic tracks as "Distorsion-Mind" and "The Trip", heavy Psych with screaming organ, and "Compression", mellow laid back acoustic guitar with the fat raw Drums Break plus other rare and raw tracks with sounds samples and loops. Great sessions!
