I'm not sure if you are into remix albums like this. Probably not essential, until we know more. I'm buying anyway, I got the complete Four Flies so....Oh I didn’t see this before I posted.

Not sure I'm up for remix stuff as I already have enough stuff to track down. I'm impressed you have the complete Four Flies and quite jealous. Are they cheaper to import for you compared to other labels? I know they tend to be quite expensive in the US.

But really not a big deal, a little part of the front of one stuck to the back of the other and definitely not moldy. I was glad I asked him for the picshe sent me pics of the record i wanted. it looked much worse than your records. i could almost smell the mold through the picture, haha!
Back in 2018, Four Flies Records unearthed the previously unheard ‘Africa Oscura’, considered by many as the “dark side” of ‘Zoo Folle’ – Giuliano Sorgini’s masterpiece (reissued by Four Flies Records in 2016) – and partly recorded during the same session in 1974.
The original work portrays a fictional and mysterious continent, providing a soundtrack tinged with dark moods and cosmic shades. ‘Africa Oscura’ was entirely recorded by the composer, who played all instruments in his studio in Rome. This resulted in a formal spareness, a minimalism that gives it a modern quality, something which makes it stand the test of time, or at least resonate with contemporary taste.
Since its release, ‘Africa Oscura’ has become a classic – a pivotal release not only within Sorgini’s discography, but also one that made his name more known and accessible to a new generation of music professionals, DJs and fans of electronic music.
Four Flies have thus decided to celebrate its modernity with a double 12” featuring 7 reworks by six of Italy’s most visionary DJs/producers: Jolly Mare, L.U.C.A. (aka Francisco), pAd, Painé, and Quiroga & Dario Bass.
The original tracks have been reworked with different approaches, sometimes into full reinterpretations, and with demanding dance floors in mind. The result is a stunning collection of electronic, cosmic, downtempo and Balearic reworks that preserve the spirit of the original
versions while projecting them into the future.
