Yasuaki Shimizu - Umi No Ue Kara

We are excited to premiere the ethereal electronic grooves of "Mahi Mahi" by Moonfish, the duo project of pianist & composer Maria Chiara Argirò and drummer, pianist & composer Ricardo Chiaberta.

For Moonfish, Maria and Ricardo combines piano, keyboards and synths with drums, bass synth and electronics. Both musicians are an integral part of the London jazz and electronic community, appearing and recording individually with artists such as Rosie Turton, Kinkajous, Liran Donin, Bruno Heinen, Kettle of Kites and These New Puritans.

A lush dialogue between synths and drums/bass synth, their third single features a mesmeric melody underpinned by layers of ethereal electronics and a solid, beat-driven groove. Drawing on mutual influences including Kneebody, Aaron Parks and Thom Yorke, this single is the last in a series of three singles from the duo, offering a new perspective on the piano/synths and drums duo. 

"Mahi Mahi" draws on both jazz and electronic influences to create an dreamy and mesmerising soundscape and an infectious groove. The key to this duo's sound is their ability to apply a sophisticated musical understanding and ability to bear on a beat-driven electronic project, without losing the power of the groove to any temptations to noodle.

"Mahi Mahi" is released on Cavalo Records on July 23rd. You can follow Moonfish on the links below.

Finally putting an end to a long wait for library music lovers, Four Flies Records is proud to present the first reissue of Piero Umiliani’s PAESAGGI – a record that, despite remaining for many years pretty obscure compared to other titles in the maestro’s discography, is now regarded by collectors and experts as the gold standard in Italian library music.
 
Originally released in two versions with different sleeves, the first on Liuto Records in 1971 and the second on Ciak Record in 1980, the album features tracks composed by the maestro himself (under his alias Zalla) and performed by the legendary super-group of Italian session players I Marc 4, this time with Angelo Baroncini instead of Carlo Pes on guitars (which probably explains the name being spelled with a ‘k’ instead of a ‘c’ on the album cover).
 
The Italian word PAESAGGI means “landscapes”, and that is exactly what the music in the album has been designed to evoke – a journey of moods and emotions, through exotic and pastoral scenery, with loungey sounds that caress your ears like the song of an enchanted nightingale. Mysterious yet captivating soundscapes transport you to a faraway and peaceful place, possibly somewhere in rural Asia. While listening to the record, you’ll feel as if you are sitting under a pavilion, right in the middle of a tea plantation, enjoying a freshly brewed green tea and watching the calm sunset.
 
In addition, Paesaggi is paradigmatic of Italian library music and its genre-defying nature. By using a multitude of instruments, such as flute, vibraphone, harpsichord, sitar, gong and others, it brings together a variety of arrangements, styles, and genres spanning from bossa nova to jazz, easy listening to psychedelic, Latin, exotica, and many more.
 
Under Umiliani’s brilliant direction, the pianos and keyboard instruments of Antonello Vannucchi, the guitars of Angelo Baroncini, the bass of Maurizio Majorana, and the drums of Roberto Podio dance together and – enriched by other instruments played by top session musicians like Bruno Battisti D'Amario (sitar), Franco De Gemini (harmonica), or Franco Chiari (vibraphone) – create the sound that makes Paesaggi so unique.
 
With the honour of reissuing this masterpiece so many decades since its release comes a responsibility to do full justice to one of the greatest Italian composers of the 20th century and his now celebrated legacy. Four Flies have done their best to put out a record that replicates as closely as possible the value of the original as a cultural artefact, providing Italian library connoisseurs and novices alike with an exquisite sonic, and tactile, experience.
 
Paesaggi will be available in 3 different formats:
Limited Edition Vinyl LP – 1971 album cover, thick tip-on sleeve, 700 copies only
Vinyl LP –  1980 album cover;
First ever CD version – 1980 album cover

Bona Dish were a scratchy pop punk group from Hertfordshire villages, brought together by their love of the Velvets, Supremes and each other. They were cool, handsome and gorgeous. The songs are simple but at the same time complex. The two girls, two boy’s line-up added a tension that was both sexual and musically fragile. You felt it might all fall apart any second but it rarely did. 

After their "cassette in a tube" ploy worked for John Peel play, the band released a cassette on InPhaze and disbanded not long after. Collected here is a rediscovered gem showcasing the zest and spontaneity that gripped the UK DiY scene of the time, standing up to their contemporaries like Television Personalities, The Homosexuals and Marine Girls.

This release marks the first vinyl and cd release for BonaDish, their complete recorded output compiled and newly mastered.
