Pure fringe weirdness, somewhere between VDGG and Krautrock. Not totally consistent, but some great moments

What a coincidence, I just checked that one out yesterday - you'd given a progstreaming link to it back on page 2 or 3 or 4 or thereabouts. I just did a quick drive by, but it was interesting enough to make a mental note to return to and give a closer listen!

BTW, Steve, take a look at that RPI want list. Rare but beautiful things here

I'm finding a lot of this stuff on Youtube. Good enough for now. I'll probably seek a lot of these out on CD eventually.

Steve, I seem to recall David recommended that one to me a while back too, and I had much the same reaction!

The band members weren't even 18 at the time.

That album though is really a long ways from most of the Italian fusion scene. To these ears, it sounds far more influenced by the more wild and untethered jazz rock of Miles, Mwandishi and Weather Report - than the more melodically fuelled acts such as Perigeo, Bella Band, Etna and Arti e Mestieri.

Dave, I've read several mentions that it's very Soft Machine influenced, but even on the few listens I've given, I think that is more of a lazy comparison and quite innacurate. Little moments sure, but not a massive influence.
When I give it my next spin, if it does turn out to be a total Soft Machine blowout, I'll amend my original statement!

If we're talking the free jazzy type thang The Softs went on to employ with 4,5 and 6 - then I guess the comparison is pretty apt. I still think it has more to do with the wilder side of the US fusion scene though.
