Description
Four Flies' 45s series continues to pay tribute to the golden age of Italian film music. This time, the first 7-inch release from the soundtrack to Gianni Marchetti's 1974 poliziottesco film Milano: il clan dei calabresi (known in English as The Last Desperate Hours) is here.
Side A's "M2" is a re-arrangement of Quincy Jones' "Ironside" theme, bringing the power of funk to the forefront and blending it with the acid sound of early 70s Italian progressive rock. Side B's "M3" also combines elements of jazz-funk and progressive rock, with powerful horns and weeping guitars intertwining with a driving funk-blues bassline.
A must-have for rare groove and poliziottesco film fans. It's a limited edition, so get yours early!
A Milano: Il Clan Dei Calabresi - M2
B Milano: Il Clan Dei Calabresi - M3
Four Flies' 45s series continues to pay tribute to the golden age of Italian film music, this time with the first 7-inch release ever of two super-groovy themes from Gianni Marchetti's soundtrack to Milano: il clan dei calabresi (known in English as The Last Desperate Hours), a 1974 poliziottesco film directed by Giorgio Stegani.
"M2", on side A, is a re-versioning of a timeless classic – Quincy Jones' "Ironside" theme – where the punch of funk comes to the fore and is fused with the acid sound of early 70s Italian prog rock. This combination of jazz-funk and prog rock is found also in "M3", on side B, which weaves a tapestry of powerful horns and gently weeping guitar over a driving, funk-blues bass line.
A must-have for lovers of rare grooves and poliziottesco films! But don't wait around, it's a limited edition!
