Some film scores simply accompany a movie; others capture the spirit of an entire era of Italian cinema. Sangue di sbirro—composed by Alessandro Alessandroni for the 1976 poliziottesco directed by Alfonso Brescia (under his usual moniker, Al Bradley)—belongs firmly in the second category. Marking fifty years since the film’s theatrical release, and a decade since Four Flies first issued it on LP, this seminal soundtrack finally returns in an expanded double-vinyl edition, lovingly remastered from the original master tapes.

Known internationally as Knell, The Bloody Avenger, Sangue di sbirro is one of the most surprising soundtracks written by Alessandroni—a key figure in Italian film and library music whose vast catalogue continues to yield fresh, uncharted territory. Here, the challenge was to channel the aesthetic of American Blaxploitation, taking inspiration from the unmistakable, landmark sound of Isaac Hayes’s Shaft. Alessandroni embraced that raw energy, filtering it through a distinctly Italian sensibility to fashion a score where jazz-funk, deep soul, heavy black grooves, and disco sit seamlessly alongside the tense, night-time atmosphere of classic poliziotteschi.

The result is a gritty, magnetic urban soundscape built on pulsing basslines, wah-wah and electric guitars, hypnotic piano hooks, biting brass, and unexpected melodic flourishes. At its heart lies that cinematic, effortlessly catchy jewel of a theme, “Tema di Susie”, presented here in four distinct arrangements—one previously unreleased. It remains the ultimate expression of Alessandroni’s lyrical, melancholic side, offering a striking counterpoint to the nervous energy of the action cues and the darker, suspenseful mood pieces scattered throughout the score.

According to soundtrack lore, the entire score was cut in a single day—15th November 1976—at Rome’s legendary Ortophonic studios, under the supervision of sound engineer Sergio Marcotulli. Though a whirlwind session, it brought together some of the finest players in Italian music: a young, unleashed Enrico Pieranunzi on piano, Silvano Chimenti on electric guitar, and Dino Piana—one of Italian jazz’s heavyweights and a long-time member of the RAI Orchestra—on valve trombone. Joining them on harmonica was Franco De Gemini, Alessandroni’s close friend and frequent collaborator, best known for his iconic appearances across Ennio Morricone’s filmography.

This new reissue restores the score to its complete form for the very first time, boasting an incredible 14 unreleased tracks, including alternate takes recorded during the original sessions that never made the final film edit. Furthermore, the tracklist has been thoughtfully re-sequenced to reflect the chronological order of the scenes on screen, maintaining narrative flow without ever sacrificing the fluidity of a standalone listening experience.

Released as a deluxe gatefold double LP, the album comes in a standard black vinyl edition as well as a limited collector’s transparent red vinyl edition, hand-numbered to just 300 copies. A digipak CD edition is also available.

Fifty years on from its creation, Sangue di sbirro reclaims its rightful place: both a lasting testament to an unrepeatable golden age of Italian genre cinema and a potent brew of Italian funk, suspense, and melodic genius, whereby Alessandroni reimagined the language of American crime music through a deeply personal, undeniably Italian lens.

Eight years after the masterpiece Africa Oscura, Four Flies revisits Giuliano Sorgini’s afro-dark universe, unearthing and compiling another suite of previously unreleased music recorded by the Roman composer for television documentaries in the mid-1970s.

Savana Selvaggia is a tribute to the continent that left the deepest mark on Sorgini’s creative trajectory. Traversing ancestral percussion, synthesizers, enigmatic themes, and mystical expanses almost like a spiritual journey, Savana Selvaggia conjures an imagined Africa suspended between ethnographic documentary, psychedelia, and Kraut electronics.

While part of the record echoes the mysterious, hypnotic atmospheres of Africa Oscura—it opens with a sequence of tracks where bird calls, primitive tumbas, and bewitching melodies envelop us in the jungle—Savana Selvaggia also evolves towards a sunnier, more contemplative dimension. On “Wild Life”, for instance, the savanna theme takes shape through an irresistible weave of percussion, acoustic guitar, electric bass, Hammond organ, and flute, while on “Alba sulla savana”, Edda Dell’Orso’s wordless vocals add a suspended, lyrical quality, evoking an otherworldly sense of serenity.

It is precisely in these moments that Savana Selvaggia seems to reconnect with another of Sorgini’s masterpieces, Zoo Folle, sharing the same fascination with the animal world and the same ability to transform nature and sound into dreamlike matter—not to mention a shared sonic palette of drum machines, Moog, and Solina. The connection is so striking as to suggest that some of these pieces may originate from the very same 1974 sessions that birthed Zoo Folle.

Erotica

Plush shag carpeting, jazz flutes, analogue synths, funk grooves, exotica, and sultry, Italian-style vocalising: Erotica 70 is the new album from Larry Manteca, known for their inventive, tongue-in-cheek reimaginings of classic Italian soundtrack aesthetics.

This time around, the Milanese collective sets its sights on the distinct sonic landscape of 1970s commedia sexy—a film genre that, for better or worse, defined an era and fed richly into the cinematic education of Larry Manteca’s members.

Through this lens, Erotica 70 also becomes a way of celebrating Piero Umiliani in his centenary year—a composer whose name is closely linked to the erotic comedies of the time.

The nod to Umiliani is baked right into the details, starting with the choice of vintage gear like the Eminent synth and the Wurlitzer electric piano. These instruments deliver that particular blend of jazz, groove, electronics, and sensual charm that made the golden age of Italian film music so unique.

Standout track “Lando” is a joyful, playful homage to actor Lando Buzzanca, who starred in numerous films scored by Umiliani, including the iconic 1973 comedy La schiava io ce l’ho e tu no (My Darling Slave).

Larry Manteca is spearheaded by multi-instrumentalists Alessandro Paiola and Riccardo Danieli, flanked by the cinematic flute of Carlo Pelsa, the swinging drums of Andrea Quattrini, and the magnetic vocals of Valentina Castelli and Alessandra Maria Manzoni.

Recorded across various studios in Northern Italy, Erotica 70 is the imaginary soundtrack to an Italy that no longer exists, recreating its atmosphere while rendering it in full, vivid colour. It’s a record whose music seems to come straight out of a provincial cinema, a smoky late-night club, or a long-lost 70s film. But while it looks back to a bygone era, it does so only to bring it straight into the present, making the past sound surprisingly fresh and contemporary.


SUONO EROTICO BUNDLE

Unleash the seductive sounds of Italian cinema with this exclusive 5-LP bundle! Dive into four iconic soundtracks, filled with sultry jazz, groovy funk, and lush orchestrations that defined the Italian erotic sound of the 70s.

In this special bundle you’ll find 4 LPs + 1 double LP + 1 free record!

Gianfranco Reverberi – Rivelazioni Di Uno Psichiatra Sul Mondo Perverso Del Sesso – 2LP
Characterized by a relentless bass-and-drum groove, this experimental soundtrack builds a dark, dreamlike atmosphere. The music leans heavily into advanced electronic instrumentation—such as drum machines and spacey synths—while integrating jazzy sax improvisations and psychedelic flutes.

Augusto Martelli – Nella Misura In Cui LP
This sultry soundtrack expands a tropical-voodoo sound by incorporating late-seventies disco, soul, and funk. It blends hippie beach vibes with infectious, heavy-grooved dancefloor bangers driven by a powerful rhythm section and unexpectedly airy string textures.

Piero Umiliani – Orgasmo LP
Shifting beautifully between psychological tension and surprisingly cheerful rhythms, this 1969 score delivers a deeply atmospheric listening experience. It relies on smooth Brazilian bossa-nova and samba-jazz tempos, all anchored by haunting vocal leads and prominent Hammond organ melodies.

Elsio Mancuso e Berto Pisano – Nude per l’assassino LP
This rediscovered score is a lethal brew of jazz-funk grooves, highly charged lounge atmospheres, and chilling suspense. Sweeping orchestral movements, chilling suspense cues, and sensual vocal whispering are further elevated by exceptional trumpet and flugelhorn performances.

Berto Pisano – La Novizia LP
Utilizing a tight chamber-jazz ensemble rather than a large orchestra, this soundtrack crafts smooth, velvety, late-night lounge soundscapes. It explores the nuances of 70s erotic cinema by blending whispered vocals, cinematic Mediterranean bossa nova, and occasional bursts of psychedelic rock.

Piero Umiliani – Paesaggi – LP
This 1971 gold-standard library masterpiece uses an exotic blend of jazz, bossa nova, exotica, and smooth easy listening to evoke peaceful, rural Asian landscapes. Under Umiliani’s brilliant direction, legendary session musicians back a rich tapestry of flute, vibraphone, harpsichord, and sitar.

Giuliano Sorgini – Scappo per cantare – LP
This 1971 score blends cheerful lounge, sweet psychedelia, and smooth easy listening. It features airy melodies, rich percussion, melancholy whistles, and dreamy 12-string guitars juxtaposed with bursts of fuzzy, distorted electric guitar.

Paolo Zavallone – Paloma Supersound – LP
Capturing the definitive sound of early-80s Italian media, this compilation brings together boogie-funk, slowed-down disco-fusion, and driving detective-genre action tracks.

Description

The lost chapter of Piero Umiliani’s discography is finally being released for the very first time, over forty years after its creation, on the exact day marking the centenary of the composer’s birth.

Recorded in 1983, Fantasy was intended to be the fourth title for Telesound, the last of the library labels founded by Umiliani – after Omicron, Liuto Records, SWS, Ciak, and Videovoice. However, the composer’s sudden illness put a stop to its release, and the project remained shelved and forgotten in the Sound Work Shop archives.

More than thirty years later, the discovery of two original 1/4-inch stereo reels brought these masters back to light, revealing a record that perfectly captures Umiliani’s final creative phase. While three of the tracks were previously featured on the Four Flies compilations Studio Umiliani and L’uomo Elettronico, this is the very first time Fantasy can be heard in its complete, original form—presented in the exact track sequence and format intended by the composer.

The album occupies a pivotal place within Umiliani’s sonic universe, blending easy listening and experimental electronic music with imagery from science and nature and a playful sensibility. It is a journey of the imagination where analogue synthesizers, light orchestrations, smooth rhythms, and futuristic soundscapes coexist with the expressive immediacy that made Umiliani a unique figure in the Italian musical landscape.

Heard today, Fantasy stands as an unintended artistic testament: the last great original project completed by the Maestro before illness abruptly halted his career. More than just a historical document of extraordinary value, this release provides an essential missing piece to understanding Umiliani’s output and his pioneering role in the evolution of Italian film, library, and electronic music.

Available on LP from July 17th, 2026.


Reloved (The Afro Club Mixes)

Vinyl EP

Out on June 12th, 2026

TRACKLIST:

SIDE A

A1 Piero Umiliani – Nel Villaggio (Nicola Conte & Nico Lahs Afro Club Mix)
A2 South African Combo – Orgiastic Ritual (Nicola Conte & Nico Lahs Afro Club Mix)

SIDE B

B1 Giuliano Sorgini – Oasi nella giungla (Nicola Conte & Nico Lahs Afro Club Mix)
B2 Romolo Grano, Gianni Oddi – Kilimangiaro (Nicola Conte & Nico Lahs Afro Club Mix)

The Reloved series – Four Flies Records’ ongoing project where today’s producers reimagine select gems from the golden age of Italian library music and soundtracks – welcomes a new chapter from the formidable pairing of Nicola Conte and Nico Lahs.

The tracks reworked in this vinyl EP all originate from the first half of the 1970s, a period when a fascination with African imagery and sounds was so pervasive among Italian composers that it became a prominent cultural and aesthetic trend. Applying their refined touch, Conte and Lahs have expanded the rhythmic and atmospheric potential of the original recordings without the need for invasive overwriting. Instead, they have emphasized the unique identity of each piece, adding a contemporary club energy that remains entirely respectful of the original spirit, structure, and essence.

The EP opens with Piero Umiliani’s “Nel Villaggio” (originally found on the 1975 library album Continente Nero), which Conte and Lahs have filtered through a hypnotic, sensual tribal-house lens. Side A continues with “Orgiastic Ritual”, a reimagining of Gianfranco Reverberi’s main theme for Black Magic Rites (Renato Polselli’s 1973 erotic-horror film), which elevates the original percussive groove, amplifying its ritualistic dimension and drawing the listener into a mesmeric sonic spiral.

On side B, “Oasi nella Giungla” – from Giuliano Sorgini’s Africa Oscura (recorded in 1974) – takes a more minimalist, electronic approach: the original material remains front and centre, enveloped in delays and subtle rhythmic touches. Closing the EP is Romolo Grano and Gianni Oddi’s “Kilimangiaro”, originally composed for the 1974 documentary Le Montagne della Luce; through the use of sampling and loops, Conte and Lahs transform it into an elegant afro-house cut, at once sleekly restrained and irresistibly magnetic.

This is undoubtedly the most club-oriented instalment of the Reloved series to date, propelling Italy’s library music heritage from the flickering screens and analogue airwaves of the past onto the dancefloors of the present.

Out on vinyl EP and digital via Four Flies Records on 12 June 2026.
