Only 99 copies of this album were printed at the time, making it one of those horrendously rare musical grails sought after by collectors for its great musical quality (which is ultimately what matters). The album has a certain existential-religious background typical of a recently recovered addict thanks to Jesus (just look at the cover), to which is added certain influences of funk, soul and jazz in the middle of acid rock that is brilliantly displayed throughout the pieces.The recording of the disc is very good, with good use of special effects such as panning, phaser and other tricks. Little else is known about this musician, apart from the fact that at the end of the 70's he published a second album, of which some pieces are included as extra material in the re-edition on cd that fortunately exists to spread this gem. But, the real gem is this album that after two or three auditions begins to reveal its particular aura and magnetism. Monumental proof that the truth does reach certain followers, at least musically ......

The Truth

1 like

This almost unknown group recorded this excellent unreleased album that we could try to place between the sound of Jonesy, Fantasy, Caravan, Cirkus with a certain dynamics and tension a la Yes,King Crimson and Wishbone Ash ; highlighting the excellent work of saxes and flutes, a restless bass, keyboards,harmonic vocals, clever jazze riffs, and occasional pastoral Quicksand airs. Recommended for fans of underground British prog rock from the early 70's.

Beyond the Morning

This album begins with an introduction of acoustic guitars, flutes, ambient sounds and ethereal voices that allow us to establish the initial tone of the album, to which is added the incredible voice ( a mix of Tim Buckley and Peter Hamill !!!!) of this Italian who hypnotizes us as a modern troubadour or elevates us to a dark emotional state during the long composition that gives the album its name. Later some electric pianos, organs, mellotron, synthesizers, sax and other metals, minor percussion-cymbals with ritualistic-experimental airs very much in the style of Popol Vuh are added. Around minute 5 a violin played by Jean Luc Ponty is incorporated to accompany and nuance the ascending rhythm of the piece as Sorrenti tightens the pulse of her voice to emphasize her obsessions, dreams and reflections that he recounts throughout this incredible piece that reaches supreme climax , constituting without any doubt, is one of the pinnacles of the Italian prog folk rock.. The other shorter pieces are closer to the spirit of the singer-songwriter with some jazzy air, thus complementing the picture that make up this masterpiece. After a good second album, Sorrenti preferred to opt for a more conventional path. We must not fail to mention that her sister, Jenny Sorrenti, also inscribed her name in the history of Italian rock with the Saint Just trio and a couple of very good solo albums. Without a doubt, a talented family .....

Aria

Aquí encontramos los dos discos de la que yo consideró es la mejor agrupacion argentina de corte progresivo de los 70's. Con influencias del rock italiano, Camel, Yes y Mahavisnu Orchestra, este cuarteto supo crearse su propio estilo caracterizado por un dinamico interplay de teclados, guitarras y seccion rítmica con una muy buena vocalizacion. La produccion y la calidad sonora son muy buenas, tomando en consideración las circunstancias politicas y economicas de esa nacion. Si eres fan del mejor rock progresivo, NO PUEDES dejar de oír este cd que no tiene ni un minuto de desperdicio.
