A1 – John Dalton Street
B1 – Manchester M2 6LD
Four Flies is proud to present the first Italian 7-inch release of Non si deve profanare il sonno dei morti (also known as The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue and Let Sleeping Corpses Lie), the soundtrack that gave Giuliano Sorgini eternal and worldwide fame as an occult composer, one who, being perfectly at ease with a certain type of Italian horror cult films, has gradually come to represent the quintessence of frightening Italian film music.
Side A features the soundtrack’s main theme, “John Dalton Street”, a psychedelic-zombie funk number with infectious drums and an exquisite orchestral interplay between lush strings, psychedelic flute and a funk-inspired rhythm section. At once modern in conception and rhythmically dark and obsessive, it is exactly what you would expect from 1974 Sorgini (i.e., the same composer who, at the time, was writing stuff like Zoo Folle and Africa Oscura). The same theme is reprised in the version titled “Manchester M2 6LD” on Side B.
This 7” edition comes in an exclusive cover reproducing the original, terrifying film poster by painter Sandro Symeoni, a close friend of Sorgini’s — the same Symeoni who, a few years before, drew the iconic “Under Pompelmo” album cover.

In 1977, in the midst of a period of political turmoil and social unrest that went down in Italian history as “years of lead”, screenwriter and director Massimo Pirri made a film no one else had the courage to make: Italia: ultimo atto? (Could It Happen Here?).Here, Pirri explores the controversial (and, in the 70s, very current) topic of left-wing armed struggle. He does so through a storyline that is almost prophetic: in the film, a mysterious ultra-leftwing armed group plans and executes the killing of the Ministry of the Interior; in 1978 Christian Democrat leader and former premier Aldo Moro was kidnapped and killed by the Marxist-Leninist Red Brigades).
The violence of Pirri’s storyline is fully captured by the score composed by Lallo Gori, who uses obscure synths, analog keyboards, and dry-sounding acoustic drums to create an extremely tense and frenzied soundscape of electronic textures.
The result is an album that combines dark, haunting jazz-funk with ambient atmospheres and suspenseful electronic sounds, and which ends up sounding like an instrumental proto-hip hop record where Moog synths take the lead together with drums.
At the time, this must have seemed like a low-budget, ramshackle soundtrack – essentially, a Bmovie soundtrack. Indeed, the extensive use of electronic sounds was meant to compensate for the lack of acoustic instruments, such as the bass or (alas!) brass, which were replaced by keyboards and MiniMoog synths.
Today, however, Lallo Gori’s odd and minimalistic style of arranging makes this score sound unexpected, avant-garde, and innovative. In short, modern and contemporary.
