Four Flies is thrilled to present a limited edition gatefold beauty containing the premiere vinyl release of the complete score to Matalo!, one of the most captivatingly unique Spaghetti soundtracks ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatalo! is a 1970 ‘western crépusculaire’ by Milanese director Cesare Canevari, known for his visually striking genre films, starring Swedish enfant terrible Lou Castel and Italian theatre actor Corrado Pani. Canevari adopts an experimental, atmospheric approach, relying heavily on out-of-focus effects and framing his shots unconventionally. This gives a dark and atmospheric turn to the western genre, with the typical dusty plains transformed into a windswept ghost town, while action sequences replace dialogues almost entirely, leaving actors with very little to say – and, therefore, putting the music center stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposer Mario Migliardi – who was also a conductor, pianist, and Hammond organist – throws out the rulebook for Italian Westerns. Prepare for a wild ride of psych-rock textures, swirling electronic filters, haunting reverbs, and concrete sounds – a sonic tapestry that seamlessly blends influences ranging from Jimi Hendrix to Luciano Berio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMigliardi masterfully combines traditional folk instruments like acoustic guitars and percussion with non-canonical electronic processing, creating an electro-acoustic alchemy that feels both fresh and timeless today, probably way more than it did in the 1970s. In particular, the Leslie filter, a hallmark in the Hammond organs popular at the time, is applied to the entire soundtrack, resulting in a very distinctive and dynamic phaser effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soundtrack’s highlight is probably the rock song featuring vocals from Giano Ton, aka Giacomo Tosti, the only track to have found its way on vinyl prior to this LP (it was the B-side of a forty-five released by RCA Italy at the time). Its 9-minute extended version, previously unavailable on vinyl, is a fantastic hard-blues-rock jam à la Hendrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis limited-edition double vinyl LP comes in a stunning gatefold jacket with artwork by Eric Adrien Lee, who drew inspiration from the film’s original posters and promo materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDefinitely a must-have for collectors of unique soundtracks and adventurous music!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatalo!

Its soundtrack, composed and conducted by Mario Migliardi, is finally released on vinyl for the first time ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile listening to this album, one is plunged into a sci-fi dimension of experimental sounds that are sometimes hallucinatory, sometimes calm and tonal. Alessandroni’s Cantori Moderni take part in this, blending into a magma of sounds constantly balanced between Heaven and Hell. “Tema di Andromeda” (A1), the main theme with Edda Dell’Orso’s crystal voice, with its baroque flavor and modern arrangement with distorted electric guitars and rhythms, was a huge radio and discographic success in the wake of the great popularity of the TV series. “Le spiagge di Durness” (A2) is a romantic and rhythmic string piece, almost a ballet like those typical of the great old Italian TV shows. The original session is in mono, apart from the single and the dissonant tracks (A3, A4) that were mixed in stereo. Fascinating soundscapes characterize this score (A5, A6, B1, B2, B3, B4), alternating between orchestral parts and electronic music. There are also lounge passages such as a flute bossa (A6) and an energetic shake (B5).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTema Di Andromeda (Mix Singolo Lato A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLa Spiaggia Di Durness (Mix Singolo Lato B)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Come Andromeda (Seq. 18)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Come Andromeda (Seq. 19)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Come Andromeda (Seq. 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Come Andromeda (Seq. 3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Come Andromeda (Seq. 5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Come Andromeda (Seq. 6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Come Andromeda (Seq. 7)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Come Andromeda (Seq. 9)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Come Andromeda (Seq. 10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Come Andromeda (Seq. 11)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Come Andromeda (Seq. 12)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Come Andromeda (Seq. 15)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mario Migliardi","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Clear Green","offer_id":44060260040895,"sku":"VMLP261-CLGN","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/8016158026146_974x_a9495f35-4b5b-4b87-bcd8-1001c9ad4c80.jpg?v=1738879246"}],"url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/collections\/artist-mario-migliardi.oembed","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
