“Previously unreleased complete edition for this explosive jazz-funk score by Italian maestro RIZ ORTOLANI, written in 1973 for the poliziotteschi film, “Si può essere più bastardi dell’ispettore Cliff?” (also known as “Mafia Junction”).
Only two tracks from this soundtrack were ever released, and as a result is now an extremely rare and sought-after C.A.M. 7-inch – but that was enough to create the legend…
Four Flies Records is honored to have been granted access to the original C.A.M. master tapes and is proud to present, for your listening pleasure, the complete recording session for the first time!
Expect to hear one of the funkiest pieces of Ortolani’s entire compositional career: the audio backdrop to car chases, erotic sex scenes, and outlandish violence are accentuated here by amazing drum breaks, fat bass lines, a captivating horn section, and wonderful guitar effects. A totally outstanding session, and an essential new classic for all Eurocrime- funk lovers!”
Available now at Four Flies Records.
"Digitmovies releases on CD the complete edition OST by Gianni Ferrio for the film "Blazing Flowers" ("Milano… difendersi o morire").
For this poliziottesco (Italian crime film), Gianni Ferrio composed an OST which starts with a subdued introduction with strings, piano, distorted guitar and sax pieces, and then develops into dramatic American blues. The composer repeats the main score with orchestral variations, sometimes nostalgic for the difficult love story between the main characters, and sometimes with a pop beat alternated with a charged-up crime drama theme for the action scenes. During the film a danceable discoteque melody can be heard, presumably a piece from a pre-existing repertoire, which was not found on the master tapes. This is a jewel of an OST, salvaged and preserved on CD for the absolute first time thanks to the only copy of the mono master which survived from the private archive of Gianni Ferrio, and which had been carefully preserved by his wife Alba."

"Very RARE 'cult' Library album by maestro William Antonini and his orchestra recorded with the deep sounds of Dirmaphon studios in Rome. Very small Library and Orchestra production from the pianist Antonini during his career as session man, this is the unique long-playing we have and for sure a lost collectible gem. Excellent studio orchestra arranged by the maestro. Expect some strong Blues Rock influences with loads of Killer Psychedelic sounds all over the place / amazing Jazz-Funk and Blues Funk vibes / heavy Progressive riffs with Big Band Swinging Jazz and Jazz-Rock tunes / huge bassline with stoned flute and deep Tenor sax / amazing early '70s Freakbeat clubbing tunes. A Killer album!
Reissued with the original back liner notes written by Italian Jazz father Carlo Loffredo."
"Italian legendary OST! - One of the Armando Trovajoli's famoust masterpieces. Original Soundtrack for the Italian cult Sexy comedy starring the sex-symbol Laura Antonelli and Giancarlo Giannini. Originally filmed in several episodes, directed by Dino Risi; afterwards reissued in France and Japan. Huge and lovely Score mainly characterized by the main theme 'SESSOMATTO', a killer famed theme which was originally a sample of Manu Dibango Latin Funk hit "Soul Makossa" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWK_Josc0Og) with its stunning Funk Breakbeats terrifically rearranged by maestro Trovajoli. We reissued the original pressing featuring the 1st cutting of SESSOMATTO theme with the deleted Armando Trovajoli's Hammond solo. Enjoy it!"
