This cassette demo, recorded when REICCARDO PRENCIPE was barely out of his teens, was largely unavailable for many years, and since the group itself was defunct, having morphed into the more successful and distinctive CORDE OBLIQUE, and since all the tracks were re-recorded on LUPERCALIA's first album, it seemed unlikely to ever see the light of day. That it did just today according to my email from Prencipe himself. For a demo, the quality sounds decent to this cloth eared senior. These are all excellent tunes in the DEAD CAN DANCE and followers vein, the best being "Stil Composito", which unfortunately has a blip around the 5:20 mark. Still, if you can only afford about half the cost of "Soehrimnir' on bandcamp, I say this one is an acceptable distillation of a resurrected recording of compelling historic value.
