Milano, Il Clan Dei Calabresi

Description

Four Flies’ 45s series continues to pay homage to the golden age of Italian film music, this time with the first 7-inch release 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 crime film directed by Giorgio Stegani. “M2”, on the A-side, is a reinterpretation of a timeless classic – Quincy Jones's “Ironside” theme – where the dynamism of funk is brought to the fore and fused with the edgy sound of early 70s Italian prog rock. This combination of jazz-funk and prog rock also features in “M3”, on the B-side, which weaves a tapestry of powerful brass and softly wailing guitars over a driving funk-blues bassline. A must-have for lovers of rare grooves and poliziottesco films!
