MERCURY AND SUFURUS

Unfortunately only 400 copies made in the year 2000. To me it happens to be one of the most original new prog works of recent times, since a variety of styles (my favorites) are widley represented; italian folk with a thorough mediterranean touch, powerful vocal lines and lyrical refrains, as well as a touch of anglo-celtic folk ('reminds some old good fairport convention 'too), all combined with analog synths and logical progressions in 9/8 which might sound a bit like à la tarkus throbbed and echoed, astounding in that context, and unprecedented. I found this little gem (bought it in sweet on line auction mode), and although the audio quality ain't smoothy at all, really enjoyed it and worn it out. Check it out! (if ya able to find it!)
