Alphataurus biography
Formed in 1970 in Milan, Italy - Disbanded in 1973 - Reformed in 2010

Alphataurus is one of those legendary RPI bands who are obscure in the annals of general progressive rock, but much appreciated by Italian prog fanatics who venture beyond the more well-known groups. Not much is known about the group from Milan who sprang on to the scene with a great album before vanishing in typical RPI fashion. A second album was partially recorded and later released by Mellow in the '90s as part of their archival projects. Our original site Bio summed them up like this:

"Expressive Heavy prog band from the classic early 70's Italian prog scene, very similar to MUSEO ROSENBACH and IL BALLETO DI BRONZO. Just like their contemporary 'sister' bands they mix very well the heavy parts with soft melodic passages, with exquisite contrasting strong voice. The keyboards are superb and their long thematic developments alone would merit an interest in their albums. They released two albums, the first one "Alphataurus" considered by many as a masterpiece of the 70's Italian scene. They are an unparallel heavy prog classic to my ears."

They did mix well the light and heavier sections and sometimes even a bluesy, jazzy, or spacey edge. I believe they probably had both English and Italian influences with the former being perhaps VDGG or even Deep Purple. I would say if you enjoy the heavier side of Italian, such as De De Lind, JET, or Museo Rosenbach, you will need to check out Alphataurus. Tragically the band split in 1974 while working on their second album, leaving it unfinished. It was released posthumously but was not even close to finished. Drummer Giorgio Santandrea went on to work briefly in Crystals, and Pietro Pellegrini collaborated with both Riccardo Zappa and PFM.

Review by AJ Junior

5 stars What an album from one of the greatest short-lived Italian Prog bands ever. Alphataurus, the underground quintet from Milan, produced their first and last album, a self-titled 1973 effort, "Alphataurus." From front to back, this album is purely amazing. Michele Bavaro (vocals) and Pietro Pellegrini (Keyboards) carry this album. There isn't much backstory behind this album, and it's mostly just a case of 5 great musicians coming together to create one of the most iconic Italian Prog records to date (with some sick classic cover art as well).

The album begins with a jazzy interlude from the 12-minute epic "Peccato D'Orgoglio" which quickly transitions into a prog masterclass. After an acoustic section, during which we are introduced to the wonderful voice of Michele Bavaro, the drums and synth pick up the song as Michele's voice reaches new heights right off the bat. Around the 4-minute mark, a drum roll brings us to the next section with heavy Moog, and Hammond Organ. This leads into a beautiful church organ section with a heavily distorted Hammond Organ providing bass. After an extremely Yessian transition, the song goes into an impressive Hammond section which displays the musicianship of Pietro Pellegrini (who would go on to play with PFM). The riff takes a lot of variations with tons of great Moog usage and vocals with more Yessian guitars and tempo. The song goes back to the church organ section, before going back into the heavy Moog riff from earlier in the song to close it out. After the absolute masterpiece, the second song "Dopo l'uragano," is probably the weakest on the album (Although it is by no means bad). It opens with wailing screams from Michele Bavaro over the guitar before going into the organ and guitar-dominated verse section. Halfway through the song, a phased-drum solo brings us into an interesting shorter instrumental part. The song closes on the acoustic theme from the beginning.

"Croma," is the shortest song on the album and acts as a bridge between the two pairs of songs. This song is extremely synth and strings-dominated switching between the jumpy, bach-esque build-up sections and the grand violin sections that make the song great. Organ comes in at the end to close out what might be the most Italian prog-sounding song of all time. "La mente vola," marks the second great epic of the album, clocking in at 9:00. It opens up with very impressive Moog work from Pellegrini for about 3 minutes. It then transitions into a piano-driven section with soft guitars and some of Michele Bavaro's best vocal work on the album. The first chorus leads back into the verse pretty normally, but by the second chorus, we get an iconic Moog solo from Pellegrini to go back into the verse, during which we hear an unexpected Xylophone solo. The song ends on the same Moog solo from before. The album closes on my personal favorite song, "Ombra Muta" which is just a little longer than the prior song. After an organ-dominated intro, we get one of Bavaro's most underrated vocal performances ever. The song then transitions into a fast section where Pellegrini solos on the Hammond over his own bass line. The guitar work from guitarist Guido Wassermann is really impressive here too. After an amazing Moog solo from Pellegrini, the fast-paced section finally comes to an end transitioning back into the intro with the ethereal guitars of Guido Wassermann over the echoing organ of Pietro Pellegrini. The song closes out on a high note (ignoring the weird instrumental things that they do for a few seconds in the end) and it's a perfect close to the album.

I really wish bands like Alphataurus and Alphataurus themselves had made more albums, but it seems like circumstances always got the best of these guys. They had the potential to have long careers with dozens of albums, but alas we are left with a 40-minute snapshot of what could've been. This album is about 4.7 stars for me, but I'll round it to a 5 because of the stunning musicianship. Highly recommended to all prog fans.

4 stars Review #85!

Alphataurus, as a band, caught my interest instantly. I'm used to listening to foreign music, or music in other languages, so this was no large feat for me. The first song I ever heard on this album was 'La Mente Vola', and I fell in love. I found some other songs from Alphataurus to enjoy, but never found the time to listen to this album. It is that time. The record starts off with 'Le Charmadere(Peccato D'orgoglio)', which translates to 'The Charmadere(Sin of Pride)'. This is the longest song on the album, running at over twelve minutes. This track features Robert Plant-esque vocals and a nice classic rock feel to it. 'Dopo l'Uragano', the second track, translates to 'After The Hurricane'. This song, I find, is pretty annoying. Even when the acoustic guitar is soft in the background, the vocalist decides to shout at the top of his lungs. In terms of music, though, this is a great track. The shortest track on the album, 'Croma', translates to (what did you expect?) 'Chroma'. This song repeats a nice build-up to the music. It is also instrumental. Quite beautiful. Now we reach the great stuff on this album. 'La Mente Vola' translates to 'The Mind Flies', a stellar title for this masterpiece. This song is so freaking amazing, if I write all I want to write about this song l, this review would be ten-thousand words long, so I won't. I like to keep it brief anyway. This song is one of my favorite songs ever. Not for Italian bands, not for progressive rock, but of all time. The track begins with a keyboard intro only comparable to Pink Floyd's 'On The Run', then moves into a soft(ish) rock tune with the best vocals on this album. I would honestly sit down and analyze this entire song from start to finish, but I'm lazy. Close to the end, the xylophone enters the scene in a short but amazing solo. At the very end there is a return to the keyboard intro, although this time an endtro. This track reminds me slightly of ELP. The next one, 'Ombra Muta', does too. 'Ombra Muta' translates to 'Silent Shadow'. Funky and psychedelic in nature, this track does not disappoint, although it doesn't really stand out that much either. If this album ended with 'Croma' or 'La Mente Vola' it would be much better, but this record is still great. Prog on.

Review by zeuhl1
Collaborator RPI Team

4 stars Once one gets a bit deeper into RPI, beyond PFM, Orme, Goblin and Banco there come encounters with the phenomenon of the 'one and done' bands. A plethora of bands in a very crowded prog field in a few years span in a country smaller than California saw competition for attention and sales quite fierce, with many bands not getting the attention they deserved. Alphataurus is one of those bands who delivered an excellent album, then disappeared.

Opener Le Chamadere (Peccato D'Orgoglio) is a combination of excellent dynamic organ led prog with bubbling moogs, complex drumming, harpsichord (spinet) and symphonic flourishes. The instrumental opening section shows off the dexterity of the rhythm section right away before we are introduced to excellent vocalist Michele Bavaro. Catchy and complex at the same time with excellent moog runs that fall into the room shaking bass frequencies. Bits of Dance on a Volcano are a reference point in the closing section. One of the highlights of the album.

Song two, Dopo L'Uragano , is a riff on Led Zeppelin style rock filtered through heavy Tull that still retains a prog edge but shows off their musical abilities before returning to some vocals from Bavaro. It wouldn't be out of place in any early UK proto prog band. The closer to side one is a spinet workout that leads to a full on well charted and sophisticated faux symphonic flourish that would make the Enid proud. (another band that could convincingly simulate an orchestra without any orchestral instruments employed, which the inner sleeve notes here.)

Side two begins with La Menta Vola, a song that any prog head would love-string synths, ringing keyboards, subtle vibraphone, ambient flute, playful drum lines all lay out a slow building journey as deep moog lines begin to build underneath in an ELP fashion, with a bit of Le Orme stirred in there. Finishes with some excellent gurgling sound effects from the moog over the fade out. Ombra Muta is one of the other highlights of the album. It starts like an Italian version of Novalis, but halfway through they are off and running in a high energy instrumental organ/guitar/bass/drums UK style prog workout. (drummer Giorgio Santandrea is excellent in his busy but subtle attacks on the kit). Great synth on this song too, as keyboardist Pellegrini knows how to coax 'sound' out of a synth, rather than just play lines on it. Nice crashing fake ending that leads to an intricate low key Crimson-ish guitar led fade out to the album.

Fairly well recorded throughout, I think this one would play well with non RPI fans if folks want to go out and indoctrinate the unaware. Heavy rock and symphonic classical mix together nicely. Not perfect but an essential addition to an RPI collection. Fans of Campo di Marte and Metamorfosi will probably dig this, as well as Balleto di Bronzo and heavier New Trolls fans.

Absolutely stunning triple gatefold painting on the LP is one of the best album covers in Italian rock. Cool inner photo of the band takes up all three inner panels. Lyrics are printed on the right hand panel.

Review by mhernand3

4 stars "Alphataurus," the eponymous debut album by the Italian band of the same name, stands as a testament to the brief yet dazzling brilliance of a group propelled by a meteoric rise under the banner of the nascent Magma record label. While their tenure was short-lived, Alphataurus etched their place in the annals of Italian progressive rock with an album that remains rightfully revered as one of the 30 essential works of the genre.

While not necessarily pioneering in originality within the Italian prog scene, Alphataurus's sonic tapestry evokes echoes of revered contemporaries like Museo Rosenbach and Il Balletto di Bronzo. Fronted by the distinctive voice of Michele Bavaro and propelled by the virtuosic keyboard wizardry of Pietro Pellegrini, whose homage to Keith Emerson's influence is unmistakable yet skillfully executed, the band is rounded out by Guido Wasserman's meticulous guitar work and a formidable rhythm section comprising Alfonso Oliva on bass and Giorgio Santandrea on drums.

In 1973, this quintet from Milan unleashed a debut album that defied expectations with its maturity, cohesion, and execution, particularly remarkable considering it marked the fledgling efforts of a newly signed group. While recording their sophomore effort the same year, Alphataurus disbanded abruptly, leaving behind unfinished recordings. In a fortuitous turn of events, Mellow Records unearthed and released these recordings in 1992 as "Dietro l'uragano," offering a tantalizing glimpse into what could have been.

"Alphataurus" comprises five tracks, three sprawling epics interspersed with two shorter, more straightforward compositions. The opener, "Peccato D'Orgoglio" (Sin of Pride), navigates between gentle, quintessentially Italian prog melodies and thunderous "metal" passages with effortless grace. Standout tracks include the mesmerizing "La Mente Vola," marked by a powerful and futuristic instrumental introduction that predates Jean-Michel Jarre's pioneering work by three years, and the hauntingly beautiful closer, "Ombra Muta."

For aficionados of Italian prog, "Alphataurus" is a cherished gem, encapsulating all the quintessential elements that define the subgenre within progressive rock. From intricately woven compositions adorned with folk-inspired melodies to thunderous bursts of heavier passages, the album showcases a kaleidoscope of musical influences ranging from classical to blues, jazz, and hard rock. Alphataurus effortlessly masters this intricate blend, exemplifying the hallmark of Italian prog with consummate skill and finesse.

5 stars My biggest regret is not buying Attosecondo when it came out but I can hardly blame myself as I tend to regard these reunion albums with suspicion and for good reason, because so many of them give us such embarrassing and substandard material. You can tell their hearts aren't into it, or clueless what listeners want or they're not into the kind of music they were playing some 40 years ago. Alphataurus avoided all those pitfalls and create what has to be one of the finest releases of 2012. True only two of the members from their '70s incarnation are present but here it didn't hurt them. While not a clone of their 1973 classic this one very much stands on it's own. Tons of wonderful keyboards with the occasional Emerson-like organ moves and great use of Moog, with amazing creative and complex passages. On the opening cut "Progressivo-Mente" it sounded like there's a couple passages where they borrowed from Canadian prog artist Robert Connolly with his 1978 album Plateau but it could be coincidence. But what really amazed me about the album is the high quality musicianship throughout. This is the kind of prog I've been looking for, and when it comes for too many more recent releases quality has been sorely lacking. If a classic prog band from the '70s should reunite they should learn from Alphataurus. Not your typical reunion effort, this is an amazing album and one of the best from the 2010s.

Review by sgtpepper

3 stars Even without reading anything about this album first, you notice from the start that this is likely a demo collection - the recording quality below average.However, some tracks

are on par with the debut album. The first track certainly matches them - it provides the needed instrumental complexity.

The second track is also adventureous but has the unfinished feel. I'd like to highlight the work of the drummer here which is put quite heavy in the mix.

Claudette has, despite poor sound quality, nice keyboard layers and emotions.

This album has three stars but if the recording quality were better, add another half-star to it.

Review by sgtpepper

4 stars The debut album by Alphataurus contains all typical ingredients of Rock Progressivo Italiano: multiple keyboard layers, passionate vocals, Italian lyrics, quite strong melodies and decent experimenting.

However, guitar is more present than on a typical RPI album.

Three compositions reach over 9 minutes and the band have enough space to develop the music ideas.

Vocals remind me of early Kaipa because of the expression and voice colour. Guitar player is skilled and shows inclination to hard rock. Keyboards are almost always present and creative, from piano, organ to synthesizers.

The bass and drums greatly support the leading instruments.

My favourite parts are instrumental sections when the whole group shines on and these is evidenced in each song.

The first track sums up the band skills and inspiration. Changes of dynamism won't allow listeners to rest on laurels.

"Dopo l'uragano" has a more rock/hard-rock flavour than progressive rock but can be called anthemic. "Croma" is probably my favourite section on the album because it is so symphonic and solemn with keyboards in the foreground.

"La mente vola" has a nice vibraphone-sounding solo and a clear melody heavily dominated by keyboards.

"Ombra muta" is instrumentally the most complex song with plenty of interactions and it could have been more coherently done without brief vocals.

A good addition to anyone's RPI collection.

4 stars The year 1973 saw the peak of the progressive rock scene all across Europe and by this time it seemed like everyone was getting in on the act. While many bands were ratcheting up their progressiveness to grandiose pompous excess, many bands were just getting started and leaving behind one small trace of their imprint on the scene before disbanding seemingly as quickly as they emerged. Milan's ALPHATAURUS were in that category of flash in the pan artists that while forming in 1970 took three years to release their eponymous debut and then the very same year while attempting to record a follow up were riddled with personal conflicts and called it a day. Despite this short burst onto stage during the glory days of Italy's prog scene, this Milan unit nevertheless delivered a well respected and eternal slice of the prog rock universe that continues to see a steady growth in both interest and sales, so much so that the band reformed in 2010 to restart their career forty years after they began.

ALPHATAURUS were virtually unknown yet scored some festivals in 1972 when Vittorio De Scalzi of New Trolls scouted them out for his first musical act to be released on his nascent Magma Records. While fitting in with the overall sound spectrum of the Rock Progressive Italiano scene ALPHATAURUS was also notable for utilizing outsider influences such as England's Uriah Heep with their heavy rock approach as well as Van Der Graaf Generator with their moody moog saturated melodic passages that schizophrenically shapeshifted without notice. The band consisted of five members: Guido Wasserman on guitar, Pietro Pellegrini on piano, Hammond organ, Moog, vibraphone and spinet, Alfonso Oliva on bass, Giorgio Santandrea on drums, timpani, congas and Michele Bavaro as the passionately romantic lead vocalist. Their sole album of the 70s also consists of five tracks with three lengthy pieces as well as two shorter with each track having its own distinct identity making ALPHATAURUS' debut a nice diverse listening experience.

The opener "Le Chamedere (Peccato D'Orgoglio) delivers all the classic Italian sounding goods. Moody moog opening sequence followed by the pastoral Genesis inspired acoustic guitar passages that build into heavier and more dynamic crescendoes to follow. Stylistically Bavaro's vocal performances often remind me of Osanna's Lino Vairetti with his passionate pleas subtly ratcheting up into aggressive frenzies. Likewise some of the musical pieces can at times carry an Osanna tinged flavor albeit without the Neapolitan flavors that exist in the Southern Italy regions. ALPHATAURUS also borrow a lot from fellow country dwellers PFM with heavy Hammond organ attacks that hint of an ELP approach but crafted into strong flavors rather than bombastic head butts. "Dopo L'Uragano" follows suit with arpeggiated guitars buttressed with classical piano tinklings and Uriah Heep styled power chord progressions but catches the listener off guard by detouring into funk rock as well as with a roller coaster ride of changes that follow.

"Croma," the tiny track sandwiched between the others is a way cool spinet performance that cedes into a dramatic symphonic dreamscape. "La Mente Vola" features a wickedly cool moog and spinet combo intro with the track progressing into myriad different styles and shapeshifting gymnastics on its way to the ending smoking hot vibraphone solo workout. Augmented by a strong bass line, the guitar is allowed to soar in atmospheric free fall or in tasty blues fashion. Bavaro's vocal antics are hardly a one-trick pony. Versatile in all respects not only reminds of Osanna's Vairetti but has the chops to bring PFM, Banco and Museo Rosenbach to mind as well with sing-along style melodies that take progressive liberties with oft utilized time signature deviations and classically infused piano runs. "Ombra Muta" the near ten minute closer which continues the subtly seductive intro that ratchets up the dynamics scale until it builds into a Moog dominated soundscape with a pumping beefy ostinato bass line, heavy percussive drive and tastily delivered guitar chops complete with soloing techniques.

ALPHATAURUS may not stand out as totally original on the first couple listens as they evoke the other better known acts of the day with aspects adopted from all of them, however this band had an interesting way of presenting those elements in a distinct new form and added dynamics such as the often "reserved for jazz only" vibraphone to the mix with pleasing results. The harmonically rich melodic romps through the by then classic Rock Progressivo Italiano sound is as refined as a diamond cut from the deepest mines in Botswana. Romantic and pacifying, ALPHATAURUS flirted with bombast without ever fully diving in. While not as deftly virtuosic as Banco or PFM, nor as aggressively astute as Osanna, Area or Il Balletto Di Bronzo, ALPHATAURUS was about delivering heavily melodic compositional constructs that took the smoothness of bands like Le Orme and Il Balletto Di Bronzo and added a few new twists and turns. While some regard this as one of the greatest albums of the scene, as good as it is, it seems like it could've offered a few more original takes and not rely as much on the tricks and trinkets of their fellow countrymen. Nevertheless, this debut album is indeed a classic that kicks ass and delivers all the Italian prog goods in perfect pitch and that is a good thing.

3 stars A collection of predictable and unexciting tricks

I really want to enjoy this album.... but everytime I try I fail. In my presonal opinion, there's just nothing "uniquely cool" about the album that makes it enjoyable in its own special way (Genesis pun intended). The chords, melodies and arrangements are very very similar to just about any prog album from that era. And on paper everything works. You've got an amazingly proggy album with a ton of sweet little flavors. Except... you've heard it before. You know the drill. You know where this is going. The music doesn't subvert any expectations. Playing with the rhythm - check... synth and guitar solos - check, mellotron and hammond - check, flanger soaked drums - check... yadda yadda yadda. Let's take for example CHERRY FIVE (released later during that decade) It's the same checklist elements.... however that band made up for it with being ridiculously catchy and sort of romantic with touches of star quality. You could hear they played around the the formula. Here you've got all the cliches done in a safe and classicistic way that does neither take any risks nor take you on a musical adventure.

5 stars URIAH HEEP made Italian! In a good way! Not the most complex or instrumentally challenging album of the era but a solid representation of a solid band.

1. "Peccato d'orgoglio" (12:26) a wonderful song with lots of power and emotion and beautiful melodies, without a bad section in its long construction. One of the two best songs on the album. (10/10)

2. "Dopo l'uragano" (5:06) I'm not quite sure where the band was going with this one. Led Zeppelin? (8/10)

3. "Croma" (3:17) is an instrumental that opens with harpsichord sounding keys, chunky bass and surprisingly quiet drums. In the second minute a second theme is introduced for a brief time before going back to the opening theme. Buy the end of the second minute we are fully committed to a full blown version of the opening theme. Nicely done in a kind of traditional classical music construction. (9/10)

4. "La mente vola" (9:21) I really like the tight rhythm section and foundational construct to this one. Almost Tangerine Dream-ish but truly rock'n'roll. The song builds in the third minute, with synths soloing over the opening foundation. At 3:25 everything shifts into more of a four-chord blues-rock ballad format--just before the vocals enter--doubled up by the same singer. The melody is okay, the song foundation is not as catchy or mesmerizing as the opening section. Synth and vibes soli are interspersed between the vocal verses and chorus. The descending chord progression used for the verse section reminds me of the awesome and climactic music from Andrew Lloyd Weber's "Gesthemene" from Jesus Christ Superstar. I love the first section, am not blown away by the second. (8.5/10)

5. "Ombra muta" (9:44) feels like a powerful Uriah Heep song. Great song composition and instrumental and vocal performances throughout--especially the multiple keyboards. Also, incredible rendering of all of the instruments in the engineering mix: so clear and defined and yet cohesive. Even the wild and psychedelic final three minutes. I like that the tension is not fully resolved in the end. It seems fitting. The best song on the album. (10/10)

A masterpiece of classic and true progressive rock music.
